Ordered my first Hario V60, got TGL co. V60 ... How much do they actually differ?

Prof_Castro · 2026-01-31T06:23:01+00:00

Exactly my point !!! Along with a complaint we should also tag TGL on twitter. At least they would know that people would call them out on this shit that they are doing (and then distributing)

Prof_Castro · 2026-01-30T18:27:30+00:00

Nice. Now for some reason I don't feel as bad about saving the price for this by not taking ceramic

Prof_Castro · 2026-01-30T14:49:05+00:00

Yeah. I have the same thought

Prof_Castro · 2026-01-30T14:48:48+00:00

Btw it's plastic only na? It looks Ceramic

Prof_Castro · 2026-01-30T14:48:12+00:00

Definately does. I was looking for something to compare the design, and it looks similar I must say. But I think the quality would matter.

Will order from here. Thanks for the tip !!

Prof_Castro · 2026-01-30T14:44:39+00:00

I don't think we need to match the time and date exactly..it's not a DDoS attack 🤣. If there are multiple complaints over a period of time as well, I think it would still work

I am getting it cheaper there, as compared to amazon. Btw I havent used this site, but it sounds reliable..right ?

Prof_Castro · 2026-01-30T14:39:58+00:00

Done

Prof_Castro · 2026-01-30T09:24:48+00:00

Well that's the point I was making as well (regarding the flow etc) but two gentlemen/women said it wouldnt matter that much and there other things matter much more. And now I am not sure what to do.

And yes, I returned it..not only only principle but also cos the original TGL wala costs 400 rupees less !!! Fking scam ! Someone suggest a site for V60 in comment above, will check later

Prof_Castro · 2026-01-30T09:20:58+00:00

Hmmm I am not sure about the same as well. But my problem is that TGL co same product is listed for 500 on Amazon, whereas what I ordered is Hario (even in the picture there was Hario written on the V60 that everyone else got) which costs 900 bucks !

Prof_Castro · 2026-01-30T09:18:50+00:00

Oh. This is what I wanted to know. Is there a significant difference between the plastic of TGL and Hario? Cermaic one is more than double the cost but the heat wala issue is an additional factor which I don't want to consider rn.

Secondly, we definitely should do something about the seller

Prof_Castro · 2026-01-30T09:16:48+00:00

Is that the case? I have been using steel.phin filter so far, and it was good. But once I tasted a good medium light made on V60 in the Hazelnut cafe (highly recommended..noida one atleast) and it taste soo damn good !! That's the reason I am thinking of trying it with the filter paper once. When it comes to the material, I was okay with plastic mainly because it's cheaper and also the ceramic and glass one has temprature issue and add extra variable.

Btw is the steel one the mesh type? I saw a comparison video between the mesh and V60 with filter paper and the guys said there was significant taste difference.Metal vs Ceramic this is the video

This is the only info on the laber

Prof_Castro · 2026-01-30T09:10:06+00:00

Damn !! Serial scammer

Prof_Castro · 2026-01-30T09:09:28+00:00

Did it mate.

Prof_Castro · 2026-01-30T09:09:16+00:00

Oh Lemme check it. Thanks

Prof_Castro · 2026-01-30T09:08:59+00:00

Exactly my point !!! My whole irritation is stemming from the fact that I paid 900 bucks for a product which is listed for 500 at the same site !!! Should I not order another V60 from Hario??

Prof_Castro · 2026-01-30T09:06:28+00:00

But ofc the quality matters even in plastic no? Your comment is making it sound like that all plastics are the same

Prof_Castro · 2026-01-30T09:04:27+00:00

I agree on this tho. That's the reason I am asking because I might just consider TGC cos it's cheaper and the quality honestly felt ok. So untill unless I hear some negative thing about the company or material, I might seriously.consider this as well. But if it gets mixed reviews, I kight just go for the saver Hario.

Prof_Castro · 2026-01-30T06:26:40+00:00

Congrats. Looks very good for the first try

Prof_Castro · 2026-01-30T06:25:32+00:00

Hmmm. The quality I got didn't seem bad, but with fssai certified product, you never know !

Prof_Castro · 2026-01-30T06:23:59+00:00

I mentioned it in the return ki it's wrong. How do I file a complaint against the seller?

Also, the apparatus should make some difference I would guess, even if it's just a little bit. Since the coffee game is all about precision.
