V60

The house method. Two pours after a bloom. We want a clear cup and a drawdown that finishes before the bed goes dry and bitter.

You need

  • V60
  • Paper filter, rinsed
  • Gooseneck kettle
  • Scale
  • Server
A white ceramic cone dripper with a paper filter sitting on a patterned mug

GRIND Medium-fine, like table salt

  1. 0:00

    Bloom

    Pour about twice the dose in water. Wet the whole bed. Swirl the dripper once so the grounds settle flat.

  2. 0:45

    First pour

    Pour in slow circles up to just past half the total water. Keep the stream thin. Do not hit the paper.

  3. 1:20

    Second pour

    Reach the final weight. A small swirl now levels the bed. If it is already draining fast, grind finer tomorrow.

  4. 2:30

    Drawdown

    The bed should finish near 2:45. A blond, stalling drip past 3:15 means the grind is too fine or the filter is choked.
