Skip if
Skip it if you prefer the flavor clarity that paper filters provide, since the reusable filter allows more oils and fine grounds through. Also skip if you want a ceramic or glass option for aesthetics or heat retention.

Overview
At $10.95, the Hario PED-02-T is one of the most affordable drippers in Hario's lineup. It brews up to 4 cups, uses a reusable filter, and is made from clear plastic. The dishwasher-safe construction is a practical advantage that many competing drippers, including most of Hario's other models, do not offer.
The 4.4-star rating from 341 buyers is honest: the score reflects a functional, no-frills dripper rather than a showpiece. The reusable filter produces a slightly fuller-bodied cup compared to paper-filtered options because it allows coffee oils through. For drinkers who prefer a richer, heavier texture, that is a plus. For those who want the clean, bright extraction that paper delivers, this is a tradeoff.
The 800W wattage in the spec is unusual for a passive plastic dripper and may be a listing data issue. The dimensions are compact at 4.37 x 4.96 x 3.43 in, making it easy to store. At $10.95 with dishwasher-safe materials and a reusable filter, the total cost of ownership is low.
Pros
Priced at $10.95, among the most affordable Hario drippers
Dishwasher safe for easy cleanup
Reusable filter eliminates the ongoing cost of paper filters
4-cup capacity suits most single-person or small-household needs
Compact dimensions (4.37 x 4.96 x 3.43 in) for easy storage
Cons
Reusable filter passes more oils and fines than paper, producing a heavier cup
Plastic construction lacks the aesthetic appeal of ceramic or glass options
4.4 stars is lower than Hario's top-rated drippers like the VD-01T (4.8 stars)
800W wattage spec is likely a data error and adds listing confusion
Performance notes
Capacity is 4 cups. Material is plastic with a smooth plastic finish. Filter is reusable (built-in). Operation is fully manual. Dimensions are 4.37 x 4.96 x 3.43 in. Dishwasher safe. Color is clear. The listed 800W wattage is almost certainly a spec data error for a passive dripper.
What buyers say
341 reviews at 4.4 stars reflects genuine satisfaction rather than enthusiasm. Buyers appear to value the combination of low price, dishwasher safety, and no paper filter costs. Some buyers likely down-rate due to the fuller body the reusable filter produces versus paper-filtered alternatives.
Does the Hario PED-02-T use paper or reusable filters?
It uses a reusable filter built into the dripper, so you do not need to purchase paper filters separately. This produces a richer, fuller-bodied cup compared to paper-filtered methods.
Is this dishwasher safe?
Yes. The plastic construction is listed as dishwasher safe, which makes cleanup straightforward and is an advantage over many competing drippers that require hand washing.
How does the PED-02-T compare to the Hario VD-01T?
The VD-01T is $11.50, uses paper filters, is also dishwasher safe, and has 4.8 stars from over 4,200 reviews. If you prefer paper filter clarity, the VD-01T is the stronger choice. If you want to skip paper filters entirely, the PED-02-T fits that preference at a very similar price.
