Hario V60: 5 tips for taking it to the next level
-
Weigh your coffee and water for more consistent results every time. Your V60 comes with a handy scoop that doses about 16g.
-
Use medium-coarsely ground coffee about the size of kosher salt – fresh is best!
-
Fold the seems of your filter paper to help it sit better in the V60.
-
Play around different bloom times and different amounts of water with each pour (for example: a 40ml bloom for one minute and three doses of 80ml over another three minutes) changing one thing each time to experiment with how you can play with extraction.
-
Use filtered water (from a Brita jug or similar is fine) to help bring more flavour out.
