BREWING COFFEE WITH THE HARIO V60

Classic V60 Single Cup Recipe

The V60 02 is the classic brew method for a single 8-12 oz cup of coffee.

What you need:

• Hario V60 02
• Hario V60 02 Filter
• Coffee Grinder
• 20 to 25 grams of medium-fine ground coffee. We recommend Trail Fork Freestone Dark.
• Hot Water Kettle. We recommend the Stagg EKG or the Gooseneck.
• 8 to 12 oz Coffee Mug. We love the Hearth Double Wall Glass Mugs.

Brew Method

1. Place the filter into the brewer. Rinse the filter with hot water, discard water.
2. Grind the 20-25 grams of coffee and pour ground coffee into the filter
3. Pour hot water (205F, or just under boiling preferred) into the dripper, filling it about half way.
4. Let the coffee bloom for 30-45 seconds before beginning the next pout.
5. Pour water continuously info the V60, in a circular motion, until the 8-12oz mug is full. This should take about 3 minutes for a 10oz mug.

Tips

Use a good electric kettle that will keep your water at a constant temperature, or re-heat the water in the kettle bringing it back up to temp.

If you like strong, bold coffee, increase your coffee dose more toward 25 grams.

If the dose increase does not yield stronger coffee, grind your coffee more finely and try again.

Change only one variable at a time if possible. Don't increase your dose and change your grind for the same cup, do one at a time.

Conclusion

The Hario V60 is inexpensive, easy to use and brews great coffee with a little exploration.

Remember - each cup has a life of its own. Enjoy!
