The Hario Pegasus is a trapezoidal single-hole dripper that belongs to Hario's line of traditional Japanese wedge brewers. Unlike the V60's 60-degree cone, the Pegasus uses a broader wedge profile with a flat base and a single drainage hole, which makes it feel closer to a cross between a V60 and a Kalita 101 than a pure cone.

The single hole gives the Pegasus a slower drawdown than the V60 Mugen and a much slower one than a Wave. Water sits on the bed longer, which produces a more immersion-like extraction and a cup with noticeably more body and sweetness than a V60. It is the brewer Japanese coffee shops have used for "house blend" coffees for decades, precisely because it forgives pour irregularities and produces a rounded cup that pairs with a range of roasts.

A sensible recipe: 15 g of coffee to 240 g of water (1:16), medium grind, water at 93–95 °C, three pours in 3:30 to 4:30. Uses 102-style wedge filters. The Pegasus is not a competition dripper and does not try to be — it is the workhorse for someone who wants a filter cup on the sweeter, more textured side without buying into any modern brand.
