The basic V60 recipe I follow when preparing coffee beans for the first time.

Ingredients

  • 15 g coffee
  • 250 ml water

Instructions

Preparations

  1. Grind the coffee beans to be about the size of sand. On my Knock Aergrind, that translates to the 2.1 dial.
  2. Heat the water to about 93 °C. Place the filter on your V60, and thorougly wash it with the hot water a few times to remove the paper taste. This also makes sure the V60 is hot enough.
  3. Add the ground coffee to the filter, and make a small dip in it.
  4. Tare the scale.

Brewing

  1. 0:00 Pre-wet with 50 g of water. Gently swirl the V60 and let the coffee bloom.
  2. 0:45 Pour up to 100 g total (= add 50 g water).
  3. 1:10 Pour up to 150 g total.
  4. 1:30 Pour up to 200 g total.
  5. 1:50 Pour up to 250 g total. Gently swirl and wait for the complete drawdown.

Notes

  • While pouring, use spiraling motions and try to keep the spout close to surface.
