Subtext Hario V60 Brew Guide

Here are key notes for brewing with Hario V60:

• Preparation: Put on the kettle, place and rinse the paper filter and discard the rinse water. Weigh out and grind your coffee, then pour it into the V60, give the dripper a shake to level the coffee bed.
• Adjustments: If you want to modulate the body of your coffee, try adjusting the water to coffee ratio. For our recepie we used 1:16 ratio, but maybe you feel like try something different:
  • 15:1 - Full body
  • 16:1 - Medium body
  • 17:1 - Tea-like
• Pouring: The V60 is pretty sensitive to your pour. Use a gooseneck kettle with a slower flow and practice pouring in even concentric circles, starting from the middle and working your way out.
• Blooming: If you're coffee is fresh, it may require a longer bloom to allow the built up carbon dioxide within the grounds to escape. Try blooming for 45-55 seconds if you still see your bloom bubbling.
• Troubleshooting: If you find that your coffee tastes sour and under-extracted, try grinding finer. If, on the the other hand, your coffee tastes too bitter, try grinding coarser. Adjust your grind until you have a sweet, balanced and delicious cup.
