    Method:
    1. Fold filter along the crease and place in the v60

    3. Place v60 & vessel onto the scales and tare
    4. Add 15g coffee to the V60 and tare scales again
    5. Start timer and add 50g water going in smooth, circular motions working from the centre outwards (avoid pouring your water onto the filter paper at this point)
    6. At 30 seconds add another 50g water
    7. Continue to add 50g water every 30 seconds until you reach 250g
    8. Gently swirl the V60 then let stand until all the water has passed through. This should be achieved between 3-3:30 minutes

    If the water passes through before 3 minutes then you will
    need a finer grind size

    If the water takes longer than 3:30 minutes to pass through
    then you will need a coarser grind size

FROM BEAN TO CUP

Betty B (as we lovingly call it), is a beautifully classic Ethiopian coffee. As a batch brew (my coffee of choice) it has a deep fruity sweetness with a nice pop of blackcurrant acidity whilst still having a full body flavour to it. When it comes to summer time this roast excels at making a wonderfully refreshing cold brew. An all round sweet, fruity, crisp, acidic coffee that is easily sipped all day.
