V60 Coffee Brewing Guide

 
 
 

We have chosen the V-60 as the most popular pour-over method to brew coffee.

You will need:

  • Your V-60 portafilter

  • Paper filters (Unless you own a filter-less metal V-60)

  • A small scale (To weight your coffee and water)

  • A timer (We need to keep an eye on time)

  • Coffee grinder (We recommend it to keep your brew fresh and tasty)

  • Recipient for your ground coffee (1:16 ratio is the general suggestion for most coffees)

  • Coffee beans (Pre-ground if you don’t have a coffee grinder)

  • A water kettle (Gooseneck is highly recommended even better with adjustable thermostat)

 
V60 tools for extracting the best coffee
 
 
For V60 Coffee extraction you need to ground your coffee between medium and fine

Step 1

For 2 cups (Aprox 200mls per cup) use 25gr of Coffee.

While heating up your water (we recommend 93C as standard) ground your coffee between medium and fine (Beach sand texture) size.

Step 2

Place the paper filter in the V-60 portafilter and pour some hot water to clean the filter. Dispose of the spare water.

Step 3

Place portafilter and jug over the scale and tare to “zero”.

Put the ground coffee in the paper filter and check for the desired weight (in this case 25gr for the 2 cups).

Step 4

Tare scale again back to zero. Start your timer as you start pouring over the water over the coffee gently with your gooseneck jug/kettle with circular movements. First about 50g of water then let it bloom for at least 30 seconds.

Step 5

After 30 seconds continue pouring over in circles, as even as possible and as steady as possible at your own pace until reaching another 100g. Stop for about 10seconds and continue, stopping for another 10 seconds every 100gr of water until reaching 400gr of water (25gr of coffee X 16gr of water = 400gr of brew)

Step 6

Put V-60 portafilter away, mix your coffee gently and serve in your preheated cups.

Enjoy!
