Brewing coffee with a Hario V60 is one of the best ways to highlight the delicate floral and fruity notes of specialty single-origin coffees. In this guide, we break down the grind size, water quality, temperature, and specific pouring intervals to help you brew like a professional barista at home.
1. The Coffee to Water Ratio
We recommend a starting ratio of 1:15 (e.g., 15 grams of coffee to 225 grams of water). If you prefer a lighter, cleaner cup, you can stretch it to 1:16.
2. The Pouring Technique
Always pre-wet your paper filter with hot water to remove any paper taste. Start with a 45-gram bloom for 45 seconds, then pour in concentric circles until you reach the target yield.
