You need

  • Medium-fine coffee · 15 g
  • Just-boiled water · 250 g
  • V60 paper filter · 1

Method

  1. Fold the filter seam, place it in the dripper, rinse it with hot water and discard the water.

  2. Add the coffee, level it and make a small well in the middle. Put it on the scale and tare.

  3. Bloom: pour 50 g in the first 10 sec and swirl gently so all the grounds are wet. Wait until 0:45.

  4. From 0:45, pour steadily to 100 g, done by 1:00.

  5. Pause 10 sec. From 1:10, pour to 150 g, done by 1:20.

  6. Pause 10 sec. From 1:30, pour to 200 g, done by 1:40.

  7. Pause 10 sec. From 1:50, pour to 250 g, done by 2:00.

  8. Give the dripper one gentle swirl to flatten the bed. Let it drain, around 3:00.

Tip: To try Tetsu Kasuya's 4:6 method: 20 g of coarse coffee, 300 g of water at 92 °C, five 60 g pours 45 sec apart, and lift the dripper off at 3:30. The first two pours (40%) set sweetness and acidity, the last three (60%) set strength.
