How to Brew a Perfect V60 at Home

Pour-over is the simplest way to taste what makes a specialty coffee special. All you need is a dripper, a paper filter, a kettle and fifteen grams of freshly ground coffee.

The recipe

• 15 g of coffee, ground like coarse sand
• 250 ml of water just off the boil, around 93 degrees
• A 30-second bloom with 40 ml of water
• Then pour slowly in circles until the scale reads 250

Taste and adjust

If the cup tastes sour, grind a little finer. If it tastes bitter, grind a little coarser. Start with our Ethiopia Yirgacheffe: it rewards a careful pour with jasmine and lemon.
