The V60 brew method is a popular pour-over coffee technique that allows for precise control over the brewing process, resulting in a clean and flavorful cup of coffee.
1. Place the V60 on top of your coffee mug or a carafe, and insert a paper filter into the cone. Rinse the filter with hot water to eliminate any paper taste and preheat the brewing device. Discard the rinse water.
2. Grind your coffee beans to a medium-fine consistency. The grind should be slightly coarser than that used for espresso but finer than what you would use for a French press. Add the ground coffee to the rinsed filter, ensuring it is evenly distributed in the cone.
3. Start the brewing process by pouring hot water (about twice the weight of the coffee grounds) starting from the center and moving outward. This allows the coffee to bloom, releasing trapped gases and enhancing the flavor extraction. Let it sit for about 30 seconds. Pour the remaining hot water slowly and steadily but keeping the water level below the rim of the V60 to prevent overflow.
4. It typically takes around 2 to 3 minutes, depending on the desired strength and coffee-to-water ratio to complete the extraction. Allow the water to fully drain through the coffee bed. Remove the V60 from your mug or carafe, enjoy it!
