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.
