Always use clean water. Remember to moisten the filter. This method works great with light, sweet coffee (like African), giving it a full-body taste.
- 230 gr water
- 17 gr freshly ground coffee, a bit finer than filter grind
- 35 sec bloom time
- Pre-heat the cup or serving kettle.
- Moister the filter and put it in the V60, on top of the cup or kettle.
- Add the coffee and make a little well in the middle of the grounds with a finger.
- Add 35 gr of water in circular movements, starting in the middle of the coffee. Make sure all the grounds are wet.
- Set a timer for 35 seconds and let the coffee bloom.
- After 35 seconds, pour water up to 150 grams in circular movements.
- At 150 grams, give the V60 a couple of swirls to keep the coffee bed flat. This helps with extraction.
- Pour the rest of the water in a circular fashion, up to 230 grams.
- Give the V60 a last swirl.
- The brew should take between 2 minutes / 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
The total brew time may vary depending on the paper filter used in the V60, as well as the grind.
