How to Brew Hario V60 Coffee

[MMWechsler]

Great video but there is one noticeable edit. :) You say to rinse the filter - and you do. But what I am guessing didn't make the cut was your dumping the water out of the carafe. For many it's probably common sense or they have seen another video. Just a note to those who feel the must follow exactly by the video. :)

I just tried this method out myself and the coffee came out so delicate and delicious! I used a lighter roast so I add 2 grams of coffee but it really brought out the best of the coffee. Thank You!

Very well-made, clear, and non-pretentious. One of the best videos I've seen! This coffee brand seems pretty neat.

Great information thanks- the 26g of coffee to 340g of water ratio gives an incredibly full-bodied taste without any bitterness. I’m delighted! 👍

I made coffee using this method and it took exactly 2mins 30 seconds. Magic.

Thanks for the grinder setting tip, I know that every grinder is different but at least now I have a starting point.

This is way so different from the recipe i use. I start with 15 grams of coffee for 225ml. The water has 90° so it gives a sweet flavour, if you want it more pronounced, you can boil it til 92° but thatd be more than enough to get a bitter flavour. So the first session of pouring has to be until 35ml from the middle on the con up to the bottoms. The second session until 125 ml, same pouring. The 3rd one until 180 but pouring the water only in the middle and the last one goes the same, in the middle of the con until u reach 225 ml. I assure you the result is amazing. It tastes like a tea made out of coffee. Slightly sweet but in a concentrate way if you know what i mean. I hope you guys give it a try and leave a feedback so i know how it went!!! Goodluck, pals! :)

A 1:13 coffee-to-water ratio (in terms of weight) is the strongest drip coffee I've ever heard of! The SCAA's Golden Cup Standard is about 1:18 and that's still stronger than what most people drink.

Wow you guys did a great job explaining, demonstrating, taping and editing. Please do more quality videos like this. One more bit of info that would've been nice is... when the grounds aren't even (flat) at the end, how do we diagnose it? I imagine there can be 2 or 3 different types of scenarios.

Great video, I would always pour the hot water right along the edge of the grind on the paper filter thinking I was doing the right thing - but no more! Your How To Brew With A Siphon Coffee Maker video is very good too. Those coffee mugs look awkward though! 🤪

Really appreciate that you a consistent unit system instead of using a mix.

TL;DR for this video:

## Ingredients

- Spoon
- Scale / Timer
- Hario V60 dripper
- Filter (paper)
- 26g coffee

## Instructions

1. Fold the seam of the v60 filter
2. open it up. place it in the V60
3. rinse the filter with hot water (removes taste of paper + gives consistent heat)
4. grind our coffee beans (on the finer side of medium — 16-18 on a barazza-style grinder. medium for other grinders)
5. add the ground coffee (quickly) to the filter. (set it down at the bottom of the v60)
6. tare the scale back to zero
7. add 40g of water — allow it to sit and bloom in the coffee for 40 seconds — ADD THE WATER IN REALLY SMALL CONCENTRIC CIRCLES v. carefully. (avoid pouring on the outside rim or the filter part of the area)
8. after 40 seconds, continue adding water to v60
9. TOTAL VOLUME AT THE END should be 340g of water etc. (keep adding with very slow small circles.
10. when at 340g of water - stop pouring. stir the coffee with a spoon a little bit in the centre.

This is such an informative video, thank you. However, I like to do it slightly differently.  I boil the water, then leave it for 8.6 seconds to achieve maximum potential, before pouring it at a consistent 45 degree angle on to my speciality le'Asda ground coffee.. I then gently separate the coffee with a small plastic child's play fork, ensuring the coffee is evenly distributed throughout the filter. (a metallic fork will react negatively with the coffee grounds, giving a somewhat tartish overbite). I then let it sit for 6.8 minutes in the fridge to cool down, to ensure the coffee doesn't get a bitter burnt taste. I then pour the coffee into my favourite coffee mug and heat in the microwave for 3 minutes until hot. This gives perfect, exceptional 'Italian Bistro' coffee every time.

Drinking some coffee made in a v60 right now. First time making. Even if you were a chemex devotee like me, give the v60 a try. It's a very different taste even though you make it almost the same way.

Damn I want one of these Hario timer/scales. It makes the job so much easier rather than measuring water in a beaker and pouring it back in the gooseneck. It's funny, I used to think "yeah whatever big deal if I put in a little bit more or less water" but once I started accurately measuring everything, I tasted the difference right away. Way to waste good coffee is to mess up the proportions.

[speakthetruth]

How the fuck am I supposed to do this first thing in the morning half asleep.

[whitefox]

13/1 water to coffee ratio!!!! that's a little extreme.

[SMart]

I’ve noticed that coffee poured over a screen filter tastes better than a paper filter. Leaves more of the natural oils in the brew.

[jklseattle]

Helpful point about the need to avoid pouring on the perimeter of the filter. I use a Melitta single cup pour-over at my office and have been in the habit of targeting the outer rim of the filter with my pour. I think subconsciously I thought doing the inverse of a drip machine (only through the center of the grounds) was the best way to get full saturation. #knowledgeispower

Lovely coffee, but for the love of all things good; please stick to one unit system.
