V60 Brewing Guide

Here's the method we use:

1. Place V60 onto your mug
   
   
2. Insert a paper filter and pour hot water over to wash away any paper taste, and warm the cup. Discard water
   
   
3. Add your coffee. Our coffees taste best with a slightly stronger ratio - start with 70g of coffee per litre of water. So use approximately 23g for 330ml of water.  Using kitchen scales =makes a massive difference but if you don't have them then a V60 scoop contains about 15g. 
   
   
4. With your finger place a small hole in the middle of the coffee to create a bigger surface area
   
   
5. Using hot (not boiling) water slowly pour about 50ml in a circular motion over the grinds. This allows the coffee to 'bloom' and trapped gas to escape. Leave for 45 secs.
   
   
6. Slowly pour 70-100ml of water over the grinds. Allow to filter through
   
   
7. Repeat 2 more times until you cup is full. At the end the drained coffee should appear flat and almost mud-like.
