Recipes

• V60

  Recipe:
  •15g coffee (medium grind) 
  •250g water 
  •Total brew time: between 3 minutes and 3 minutes 30 seconds 
  •Coffee to water ratio 1:16/17 
  
  Method:1.Fold filter along the crease and place in the v60 
  2.Saturate the filter paper with hot water to ensure there’s no papery taste from the filter 
  3.Place v60 on top of your chosen vessel, then onto the scales and tare 
  4.Add 16g 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 somewhere between 3 minutes and 3 minutes 30 seconds. 
  
  Tips:
  •If the water passes through before 3 minutes is up, then you will need a finer grind size 
  •If the water takes longer than 3 minutes 30 seconds to pass through, then you will need a coarser grind size
