Easy V60 Recipe - V60 4:6 Method & Technique

This is an easy recipe for the Hario V60 Pour Over Coffee brewer. It is a championship recipe from the ultimate barista himself, Tetsu Kasuya. The V60 is a wonderful Coffee Brewer and has so many recipes available to it but I believe this is an EASY recipe for the V60 that you can use to brew great coffee at home.

I tried a new editing style with J-Cuts to speed up the video and keep the pace moving. I’ve heard some of you, and likely will change it going forward or make it less distracting. And thanks for those who said it nicely 🙂 still trying to figure out what is most effective in this Youtube world.

I am absolutely amazed. It is the first time i was able to recognize SWEATNES in a cup of coffee and first time with V60 🤩
I went for 40g and 80g for first two pours ( intentionaly for sweater taste as you described ) and I was really afraid of overextraction, because I didn't have that coarsly grinded beans and the extraction took me about 4:30 minutes...
BUT i am amazed by the result 😍 a little bit of bitternes but a lot of sweatnes and that suprises me the most. Thank You for explanation of this reciepe! It is my forth try of this and so far the best 👌🏻

In regards to sweetness, as someone who doe not consume a lot of sugars I can attest that coffee is indeed sweet, the sa me goes for teas. However, due to the fact that lots of products are oversaturated with sugars these days, it is hard to notice natural sweetness most of the time.
Also, really liked the recipe and explanation, going to try it tomorrow)

Amazing video ! I have recently bought a grinder and a scale to do V60 coffee. I am watching a lot of videos to try to find a good technique and I’m definitely gonna try yours

[saeds]

I love your vibe, you make me feel safe here. Also, tried it on a coffee with lemon and lime tones that I hated, I kept bringing out those flavors but this recipe helped me bring out the honeydew tones as well and it made a world of difference. It's also so easy to follow and adjust, thank you! Other methods can seem overwhelming for a beginner like me

Im a fairly new home brewer and the Tetsu method is actually my favorite. I appreciate how you explained everything in the video. It was so thorough!! If I came across this video from a year ago when I have zero knowledge on brewing coffee, Id be so thankful. You even managed to explain some terms!! I love it. And yes to coffee shouldnt be pretentious!! Looking forward to more of your insightful videos!!!

Just tried this with a conventional Colombian profile and blew me away versus my other technique! I was hesitant about the Tetsu method bc I thought that the Hoffman method was king but I got that 3:30 min on the clock and tasted a lot better than with my previous technique! thanks for the tips!

Thank you so much for this video. I think it's going to be a huge help to me.

I am very new to my pour over coffee. I just started 2 weeks ago. I find I am having so much trouble so far getting more sweetness and less bitterness. I feel like I really learned something from this video that is really going to help.

Off to try it tomorrow.

Thanks again

Note from the next day: That was by far the best pour over coffee I've made so far! Thanks again, I appreciate your help.

I just used this recipe to brew Septembers Los Patios coffee from Januarys subscription. Delicious!

[hunterparker]

Loved this! Thanks for letting us know the grind settings, helps a lot!

[marcrossen]

Finally bought a scale and tried this today. I’ve never had so much flavor in my coffee. THANK YOU!!

[wesmac]

I'll probably be using this recipe for now on. Produced probably the best cup I've ever brewed out of my v60. Thanks Kyle!

[fahim]

First video I've seen. So far so good. Straight forward, simple and no pretentious nonsense! V60 truly a thing of beauty, cheap, simple and versatile.

[ewancameron]

I have used James Hoffmans Ultimate V60 technique since he released it but this one, wow! Tried it with different sized first pours and the different cups from the same beans are unreal! Now when I make my friends who aren't as in to coffee as I am a cup I can tailor it to their preference 🙌

[rohanbhansali]

I never fully understood when to start the subsequent pours. Now I see it’s after the complete draw down. I’m excited to see how this turns out. Thank you for a very informative video.

[woofa]

I like this method a lot, was using the Hoffman process which was producing good coffee but I discovered a noticeable difference in quality shifting to this method.

[seanh]

Thank you, Kyle. It couldn't be any easier and so delicious!

[rtdonnel]

This is easily the most clear explanation of the 4:6 method I have seen. The example manipulations provided really help guide you through this brew method. I gave it a try with more acid forward manipulation based the examples given and the results were fantastic. Thanks for the great video Kyle! Looking forward to more videos and cups with this method.

This was the best communicated video of this V60 recipe I’ve come across. I made my coffee this way this morning and I will not be going back to the previous recipe. It brought out flavors in the coffee I’ve been drinking I had not tasted yet! Good stuff, Kyle!

I use the V60 (my favorite) and the 4:6 Method (also my favorite - I use to use James Hoffman's method which is another fine choice) pretty much most of the time. I had a V60 size 02 and loved the results but the yield wasn't enough. I went to the Bodem pour-over device (similar to the Chemix) and got great results. The only drawback was that paper filters didn't fit it very well and the metal filter it came with, let too much slurry through (I prefer a cleaner tasting coffee). I finally stumbled across the V60 size 03 and I'm in heaven. I love how you can adapt the 4:6 method to any roast, origin, and type of coffee bean. It may take me a couple of tries to get a new bean to where I like it... but it eventually tunes in to perfection. I'd recommend the V60 and 4:6 Method to beginners and more experienced alike. It does take a little more practice and understanding, but the adaptability and results are greatly worth it. Great video!
