Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 15 gr Coffee Grounds
  • 240 ml (8 fl oz) Hot Water

Instructions
 

  • Choose Your Ratio
    I can recommend a 1:16 coffee-water ratio. This means you should use 16 water units for every 1 unit of coffee. For example, you can use 240 ml of water for 15 grams of coffee or 8 fl oz for 0.5 oz.
  • Heat the Water
    For Hario V60 brewing, aim to heat the water to around 200 °F (93°C). A range of 195-205 °F (90-96 °C) is ideal for brewing.
    If you don’t have a thermometer, turn off the heat source after boiling the water and wait 30-40 seconds. This will bring your water’s temperature into this range.
  • Grind Your Beans
    Weigh and grind the necessary coffee beans according to your determined coffee-water ratio. A medium-fine grind is best for V60.
  • Assemble the V60
    Fold the edge of the special paper filter designed for the Hario V60 and place it in the V60. Position your Hario V60 over your mug or decanter. You can place the V60 directly on your mug for a single-serving brew, but use a decanter for multiple brews.
  • Pre-wet and Preheat
    Rinse your paper filter with hot water to prevent its inherent taste from affecting your coffee. If you’re using a natural paper filter, you might want to use a bit more water for rinsing. This is because natural paper filters impart more unusual aromas to the coffee compared to white filter paper.
  • Add Coffee and Adjust Your Scale
    Place your Hario V60 with the decanter or mug on the scale. Tare the scale to zero and have your timer ready.
  • Bloom
    Start your timer and pour a small amount of water evenly over all the coffee grounds to fully wet them. Then, wait for 45 seconds for the bloom stage.
  • Pour the Remaining Water
    After waiting for the bloom time, pour the rest of the water. As you pour, do so in a slow and circular motion for a more even extraction.
  • Serve and Enjoy
    Pour your coffee into your cup. Now, you can enjoy your delicious and clear cup of coffee.

Notes

Experiment: Don't be afraid to experiment with different variables – grind size, pouring speed, and coffee-to-water ratio. These adjustments can significantly impact the flavor profile of your coffee.
Patience is Key: Take your time and enjoy the process. With practice, you'll develop a sense of the variables that contribute to your perfect cup of Hario V60 coffee.
