Learn how to prepare your coffee in V60

1. Gather your tools and ingredients

• V60 Dripper (Drip Stand)
• Paper filters (specific for V60)
• Freshly ground coffee (medium-fine texture, like table salt)
• Hot water (90-96 °C)
• Digital scale (optional, but very useful)
• Container or cup to collect coffee
• Spoon or stir stick

2. Measure the proportions

• Standard ratio: 1 gram of coffee for every 15-17 ml of water .
  Example: For a 250 ml cup, use about 15-16 grams of ground coffee .
  If you don't have a scale: It's approximately 1 tablespoon of coffee for every 150 ml of water.

3. Prepare the equipment

• Place the paper filter into the V60.
• Rinse the filter with hot water to remove the papery taste and warm the container.
• Discard that water before you begin.

4. Heat the water

• Bring the water to a boil, then let it sit for about 30 seconds.
• The ideal temperature is between 90-96 °C (if you don't have a thermometer, just don't let it boil).

5. Add the ground coffee

• Place the ground coffee into the filter.
• Gently tap the V60 to level the coffee (this ensures an even extraction).

6. Start the extraction (pouring process)

1. First pour (bloom):

   • Slowly pour hot water over the coffee until it is completely covered (approximately 30-50 ml).
   • Wait 30-45 seconds to allow the coffee to bloom (releases trapped gases, improving flavor).

2. Main discharges:

   • Pour the remaining water in slow, steady circles , avoiding directly touching the edges of the filter.
   • Divide the water into 2-3 pours for even extraction.
   • The total pouring time should be 2:30 to 3:30 minutes .

7. Serve and enjoy

• Once the water has completely passed through, remove the V60.
• Pour the coffee into your cup and enjoy immediately.

Expert advice

• If your coffee is too bitter , try grinding it a little coarser.
• If it is very acidic , try grinding it finer or slightly lengthening the extraction time.
• Experiment with proportions to find the flavor you like best.
