What You'll Need
Essential:
Good To Have:
Starting Out
- Dose: 15g of coffee per 250ml of water
- Water Temp: 94°C
- Grind: Medium-Coarse
- Brew Time: 2.5 - 3 minutes
Step 1
Bring water temperature to 94°C, or just off the boil.
Step 2
Place a paper filter in the V60 dripper and rinse it with hot brewing water to remove any papery taste and preheat the brewing vessel.
Step 3
Weigh out 15g of coffee and grind to medium-coarse.
Step 4
Add coffee grounds to the V60 dripper, and place the entire set up onto a scale and tare to zero.
Step 5
Start the timer and begin pouring hot water over the coffee grounds, starting from the centre and moving in a spiral pattern outward.
Step 6
During the first 30 seconds, pour approximately 50 grams of water to saturate the coffee evenly. This is the blooming process.
Step 7
Between 30 seconds to 1 minute, continue pouring water gradually, aiming for a total of up to 125 grams.
Step 8
At the 1-minute mark, pour the remaining water to reach a total of 250 grams. Give the V60 dripper a gentle spin to ensure proper extraction.
Step 9
Allow the coffee to finish brewing, which typically takes around 2.5 - 3 minutes. Remove the V60 dripper and enjoy!
Our Brewing Tips:
- If the coffee tastes too sour or acidic, try using a finer grind size.
- If the coffee tastes flat or bitter, try using a coarser grind size.
- Introducing gentle agitation during the early stages of brewing can enhance extraction and flavours.
- Feel free to experiment with different water temperatures to find the optimal brewing temperature that suits your taste preferences.
- Perfecting pouring technique may take practice, so keep experimenting to achieve desired results.
