About the original
The Hario Erlenmeyer Flask SF-500 is a 500 milliliter laboratory flask with a conical body and narrow neck, molded from heat-resistant borosilicate glass, graduated in 50 mL increments, and fitted with a reinforced rim that withstands autoclave and dry-heat sterilization. The Erlenmeyer geometry, a sloped conical wall, was introduced by German chemist Emil Erlenmeyer in 1860 and is the standard flask shape used in titration and mixing. Hario was founded in Tokyo in 1921 as a heat-proof glass manufacturer, producing scientific glassware alongside the pour-over coffee line that made it famous. The FW24 Supreme version is the same SF-500 flask with the Supreme logo printed on the side.
About Hario
Hario is a Japanese heatproof-glass manufacturer founded in 1921 in Kanda-Sudacho, Tokyo, as Hiromu Shibata Works. The name combines "Hari" (glass) and "Ou" (king). Hario started by producing laboratory glassware, expanded into household goods in 1948 with a coffee siphon, and is the only borosilicate-glass manufacturer in Japan operating its own factory. The V60 conical pour-over dripper, named for its 60-degree cone, was released commercially in 2005 and has won six World Brewers Cup titles. Hario's lab line includes the SF-500 500ml Erlenmeyer flask. Supreme collaborated with Hario on a co-branded SF-500 Erlenmeyer flask.
