The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The Hario DPW-3-OV stands apart from the rest of the Hario lineup by using olive wood as its primary material, a choice that is rare in pour-over equipment and immediately elevates the visual profile. The wood finish gives each unit a natural variation that mass-produced plastic or ceramic drippers cannot match. A reusable filter is included, and the manual operation is consistent with the broader pour-over category.
At $66.99 it is among the higher-priced options in this set. The price reflects the material premium rather than added brewing technology, you are paying for craftsmanship and aesthetics, not automation. Brewing performance in pour-over drippers at this level is largely driven by technique, not the dripper itself.
With only 110 reviews at 4.5 stars, the sample is small. Buyers who have purchased it are satisfied, but with this few reviews, individual variance in experience carries more weight than in a model with thousands of ratings.

What buyers say
4.5 stars across 110 reviews is a positive but narrow data set. Buyers drawn to this product are selecting it specifically for the olive wood aesthetic, which means they arrive with aligned expectations. Satisfaction in that context tends to run high because the visual appeal matches what the listing shows.
Does olive wood affect the flavor of pour-over coffee?
Not meaningfully. The olive wood body is the outer frame, it doesn't directly contact the brewing water in a way that would transfer flavor.
How do you clean the Hario DPW-3-OV olive wood dripper?
Hand washing is the appropriate method. Olive wood should not be submerged for long periods and benefits from occasional food-grade oil treatment to prevent cracking or drying out.
Is the Hario DPW-3-OV worth $66.99?
If the olive wood look is what you want, the price reflects a premium natural material in a niche product. For pure brewing performance, less expensive drippers do the same job.
