The V60 offers total control over your brew and a nuanced cup. One of the things that is so fun about this method is that you can taste distinct differences brew to brew when using different recipes. This is a great way to brew coffee and a beautiful morning ritual.
What you’ll need:
23g coffee freshly ground to the coarseness of sea salt
350g water
Kettle
Scale
V60 dripper
V60 filter
Brew Method:
Wet coffee filter, dispose of rinse water and add ground coffee.
Place assembly on the scale and zero it out.
Bloom coffee and start timer, allow your coffee to bloom for 30 seconds. Blooming is done by adding double the amount of water to the dry dose of coffee; so in this case 46g of water. Blooming allows the CO2 stored in your coffee to be released and helps you extract the coffee more evenly.
Pour slowly into the middle of the coffee bed in small circles, pour until scale reads 150g.
Allow the coffee to drain, but not completely.
Pour another 75g of water so that the scale reads 225g.
Allow coffee slurry to drain but not completely.
Pour another 75g of water so the scale reads 300g.
Allow coffee slurry to drain, but not completely.
Pour another 50g of water so the scale reads 350g.
Wait for your coffee to stop dripping, swirl the coffee to mix all 3 layers of the brew, and enjoy your beautiful cup of coffee.
