V60 Ceramic set

Description

It looks like you mentioned “V60 – Pour Over,” which likely refers to the Hario V60, a popular pour-over coffee brewing method and equipment. Here’s a brief guide on how to use the V60 for a delicious pour-over coffee:

Materials Needed:

1. V60 dripper
2. V60 paper filter
3. Freshly ground coffee beans
4. Gooseneck kettle
5. Scale
6. Coffee Grinder

Steps:

1. Prepare Equipment:

• Place the V60 dripper on top of your coffee mug or server.
• Rinse the paper filter with hot water to eliminate any papery taste and preheat the V60 and your mug or server. Discard the rinse water.

1. Measure Coffee:

• Use a scale to measure your coffee grounds. A common ratio is 1:15 (1 part coffee to 15 parts water), but you can adjust based on personal preference.

1. Grind Coffee:

• Grind your coffee beans to a medium-coarse consistency, similar to sea salt.

1. Add Coffee to V60:

• Place the coffee grounds into the rinsed V60 filter, levelling the bed for even extraction.

1. Bloom:

• Start the timer and pour a small amount of hot water (about twice the weight of the coffee) evenly over the grounds to saturate them. Allow the coffee to bloom for about 30 seconds as gases release.

1. Pouring Technique:

• Begin pouring water in a slow, spiral motion, starting from the centre and moving outward. Keep the water level consistent without flooding the coffee bed.

1. Maintain Water Level:

• Aim to keep the water level in the V60 consistent, periodically adding more water as it drips through. Maintain a steady pour rate.

1. Total Brew Time:

• The total brew time is typically around 2.5 to 3.5 minutes. Adjust grind size, pour rate, and coffee dose to achieve the desired extraction time.

1. Serve and Enjoy:

• Once the dripping slows down and the brewed coffee reaches your desired strength, remove the V60 and discard the filter.

1. Experiment:

• Adjust the grind size, water temperature, and coffee-to-water ratio to find the combination that suits your taste preferences.

Remember that the V60 pour-over method allows for a high level of control over the brewing process, making it a favourite among coffee enthusiasts for its ability to highlight the unique flavours of different coffee beans.
