# THE ULTIMATE V60 TECHNIQUE

# Brew ratio: 60 g/L (e.g. 30 g per 500 mL)
# Grind size: medium fine
# Temperature: the hotter, the better (especially with lighter roasts)


# 30g / 500ml example:
#
# timer:  | 0:00 |       | 0:45       | 1:15       | 1:45          | 3:30  |
# water:  | 60g  |       | 240g (30s) | 200g (30s) |               |       |
# action: |      | swirl |            |            | stir -> swirl | enjoy |

- Boil the water
- Grind 30 g of coffee
- Rinse paper filter with water just off the boil # This removes any paper taste and preheats the brewer
- Add coffee grounds to V60
- Create well in the middle of the grounds # This helps to evenly saturate all the grounds during the blooming phase

- Start timer: 00:00

- Add 2x coffee weight = 60 g of bloom water # Don’t use more than 3x coffee weight
- Swirl the coffee slurry until evenly mixed # The aim is to wet all the coffee grounds by evenly mixing bloom water and coffee. Swirling is better than using a spoon
- Bloom for up to 45 s # This allows CO2 to escape which will improve extraction

- Timer: 00:45

- Add water aiming for 60% of total brew weight = 300 g in the next 30 s # This phase is critical!
# Since you already added 60 g bloom water, add 240 g in 30 s (flow rate = 8 g/s)
# A full V60 is good to maintain high temperatures

- Timer: 01:15

# P.S.: Don’t worry about pouring directly onto the V60 filter

- Add water aiming for 100% of the total brew weight = 500 g in the next 30 s
# Since you already added 300 g water, add 200 g in 30 s (flow rate = 6.66 g/s)
# Poor a little slower than in the first phase, not too aggressively

- Timer: 01:45

- Stir 1x clockwise and 1x anticlockwise with spoon # This knocks off grounds from side wall
- Allow V60 to drain a little
- Give V60 a gentle swirl # This helps obtain a flat coffee bed at bottom of V60 for even extraction

- Let brew drawdown
# The higher the temperature, the faster the drawdown
# Filter paper also affects drawdown
# Aim to finish drawdawn by t = 3:30

- Enjoy!
