The V60: Specialty Coffee without the hassle
Think making specialty coffee requires an array of expensive equipment? Not necessarily. With the V60 method, you’ll find that less is more. With just a V60 dripper, paper filters, freshly ground coffee, and hot water, you’re all set to delve into the realm of subtle and complex flavors in high-quality coffee.
Why choose the V60?
Beyond its simplicity, the V60 method offers incredible control over extraction. That means you can adjust the coffee grind, water temperature, and even pouring speed, enabling you to personalize your coffee like never before. The outcome? A cup that highlights the unique attributes of the beans, making you feel like a true barista.
Step-by-Step guide to the perfect V60 coffee
Necessary Equipment:
- V60 dripper
- V60 paper filters
- Coffee grinder
- Fresh, high-quality coffee
- Kettle with a narrow spout
- Scale
- Cup or carafe
Preparation:
- Place a filter in the dripper and wet it with hot water to eliminate any unwanted flavors and warm up the method.
- Add the ground coffee (15g of coffee to 250ml of water is a solid starting ratio).
- Pour 45ml of hot water over the coffee for blooming and wait for 2 minutes.
- Pour another 80ml of 95-degree water, and as the coffee bed becomes shallower, add 125ml more water to complete the recipe.
- At the 4-minute mark, halt the extraction – ideally, the coffee will have fully dripped through, resulting in a clean and flavorful cup.
