Pour Over Recipe

Step 1: Gather Your Tools and Ingredients

To get started, you'll need the following:

- V60 dripper

- V60 paper filter

- Freshly roasted coffee beans

- Kettle

- Digital scale

- Timer

- Gooseneck pouring kettle (optional but recommended)


Step 2: Grind Your Coffee

Grind your coffee beans to a medium-fine consistency, resembling sea salt. The grind size is crucial to achieving the desired flavor, so ensure it's just right.

 

 

Step 3: Rinse the Filter

Place the V60 paper filter in the dripper and rinse it with hot water to remove any paper taste and warm up the equipment. Discard the rinse water.

 

 

Step 4: Add the Coffee Grounds

Place your V60 dripper on top of your coffee cup or carafe. Add the ground coffee into the filter. Be precise with your measurements, using a scale for consistency. A standard ratio is 1:15, meaning 1 gram of coffee to 15 grams of water.

 

 

Step 5: Bloom the Coffee

Start your timer and pour hot water (about twice the weight of the coffee) over the grounds, making sure to wet them evenly. This is called the "bloom." Allow it to rest for about 30 seconds as the coffee releases gas and expands.

 

 

 

Step 6: The Pouring Process

In a slow, spiral motion, begin pouring hot water evenly over the coffee grounds. Keep the water level about half an inch above the ground at all times. Use a gooseneck kettle if possible for precise control. Continue pouring until you reach the desired weight, following your chosen coffee-to-water ratio.

 

 

Step 7: Enjoy Your Coffee

Wait for the coffee to finish dripping through the filter, which should take around 2-3 minutes. Remove the V60 dripper, and your coffee is ready to enjoy. Savor the rich aroma and complex flavors of your freshly brewed V60 coffee.
