Simple Hario V60 Brew Method - My Everyday Recipe

In this quick how-to video, I'm showing you a brew method for the Hario V60 pour over that's perfect for beginners and people who are frustrated with their coffee brewing results.This is the 02 model. Please buy 02 filters. *Note* - You will be using your scale to measure your water weight (510 grams in this recipe) as you go.

Check out my gear list below. I get a little $ kickback for purchased made through these links. Thanks for your support.

Used this yesterday and today to excellent results. For my 10oz (280ml) cup of coffee I use 20 grams coffee at medium fine. (I pre-heat the Hario, pitcher and cup) Give it the 60 gram initial pour with stir (I use the fat end of a bamboo chopstick), wait 30 seconds and pour 110 ml of water in that circular motion followed by a gentle swirl of the Hario. When the water has filtered through (I don't time it - just wait for the water to fully filter out) I do the same with the remaining 110 ml of water. I use a bartender spoon for the final stir in the cup. Sounds like a lot of steps but is actually very straightforward. My new mantra is 20 60 110 110. Super easy! Barely an inconvenience! 😉 This is using a Single origin Guatemalan La Candelaria light roast. Will be interesting to see how it hold up with other roasts.

What I love about pour-over is that it can be streamlined and simplified even more than this and still deliver reliably good results. As far as I can tell, it's the simplest and most efficient way to make good coffee!

Just tried this recipe, turned out great! It was my first time using a spoon to the bloom, seemed messy but taste was great.

Yes! Good instructions and delivered excellent cup of coffee! Thank you!

I was searching for how to vids for pour over and lo and behold, up pops yours, my friend! Small world! Hope you're well!

What about extraction time? I never try new recipes but this one is now drawing down 💯
Edit : WOW, Thanks for adding so much for my daily coffee! 🖤

I have a question for you as I see you put a paper filter in your V-60. I have one too and I tried to make coffee with it and I completely lost my coffee 2 times as the bottom of my filter completely split open and the coffee grounds dropped in the coffee pot. I was really not happy and I finally took another cone (in stainless) I have. Did you experienced this? Why do you think my filters just tear off like this? I use this brand of filter for many, many, many years and never experienced this but, I must admit that my other cones didn't have such huge hole in the bottom. I hope you would be able to give me an answer to that mystery 😊🌹

Forgot to say that I make 1 litre of coffee so a good heap 60gr of coffee grounds...

Good recipe! That’s some uptown coffee you’ve got there—I think I paid the same for 15 lbs of greens as they charge for 2lbs. Yowz

Good, straightforward video. I've seen other videos, James Hoffman's for example, recommend putting a 'depression' in the center of the coffee. Have you tried this?

[memo]

thank you, the result is great, my coffee tastes better

[billem]

hello i love this method too, but my coffee is never hot at the end of this (especially because I also add a tiny amount of creamer too at the end), it's kindof a bummer to put the whole thing in the microwave after doing this beautiful coffee brewing process, to end with a microwave haha 😂... any ideas?

[yoliec]

This looks great! What setting would you suggest I use for a Baratza Encore grinder?

[ivicasvilicic]

Great video, at what moment did you make your final pour ? Since there was no time, did you wait until bed was almost dry etc. ?

[mikecoffee]

ok I also have a Baratsa Grinder what setting did you have and yes this seems the most sensible Pour Over

[dgale]

first thanks for the video, my coffee is a about 1:16. But its sour. I am using a Capresso and I go from medium to 1 line or notch into fine. Is that good? One last thing I didnt use a timer, just weighing as I pour to get to my needed weight. I am using a ratio calculator on the net. Is that ok?

[WItekpel]

Thanks for the video, very helpful indeed :). I always struggle with the V60 as the water pours down during the bloom stage too quickly. Basically it just goes straight down right away. Can't figure out what's wrong. I follow directions for this and other videos. If anyone has an idea what could be the reason I'd greatly appreciate any advice :).

[tcandeuyt]

Thanks for the video! Do you know what the temperature of the water is at the time of the bloom?
Cheers.

[jameslyons]

Thank you for the great video, although I am a bit confused. 30 g of coffee fills my v60 to the top. In yours it only seems a third of the way full. How is this possible?
