Hario V60 Brew Guide

The Hario V60 allows for a simple hands-on brewing process that relies on the technique of the brewer.
We use a 1:16 brew ratio (1 gram of coffee per 16 grams of water)

What You’ll Need:

• Hario V60
• Hario V60 Filter
• Carafe or drinking vessel
• Kettle
• Timer
• Scale (recommended)

Perfectly Brewed in 2:45 minutes

Directions:

1. Unfold the V60 filter, making it into a cone, and place it into the V60.
2. Rinse and pre-heat the filter and V60 with hot water. Discard rinsing water
3. Weigh out 18g of coffee and grind it slightly coarser than the consistency of sand. (Baratza Encore setting #18-22)
4. Add coffee to the filter, gently tap the side to level out the bed of coffee, and then tare the scale to zero.
5. Bring water to 95°C. If you don't have a temperature controlled kettle, you can bring the water to a boil and then allow it to sit for 1 min.
6. Start the timer and pour just enough water (50g) to saturate your grounds to pre-infuse your coffee for 30 seconds. Gently stir to get all the grinds evenly wet.
7. After 30 seconds, continue adding water in a circular motion without touching the sides of the brewer. Pour until the scale reads 150g.
8. At 1 min at another 100g of water in circular motion (scale should read 250g).
9. Finally at 1:30 min pour the last 50g of water and quickly rinse down the sides of the brewer to clean up the grinds. Give your brewer a short gentle swivel.
10. Allow your water to completely drain through. Discard grounds and filter and enjoy!
