V60 Brew Guide
This method involves pouring hot water over fresh coffee grounds to extract flavour. Popular methods include V60, Chemex and Kalita Wave.
Here as a starting point we would suggest a ratio of approximately 65g of dry coffee per litre of water, scaled up or down depending on how much you’re brewing, and aim for a brew time of around 3 minutes, either by using a fine grind to slow the flow through the coffee bed, or by spacing out your pours to increase the total contact time.
Equipment V60, paper filter, scale, timer, grinder, pitcher
Brew time 3 minutes
Brew temperature 96°C
Water 250g (8.18oz) purified water approx. 30-50ppm
