V60 Recipes
Hario V60 One Cup
I'm using a plastic (plastic is better for keeping the brewer at the right temperature than ceramic) size 01 V60 with 01 sized filters. This is adapted from Hoffmann's 1 cup V60 recipe.
Boil 10 oz / 300 g of water. You'll be using 9oz / 250 g of water for the coffee, and some of the rest to rinse the filter and warm your cup and cone.
Grind 15 grams of beans to about a table salt size (Setting 10 on the Baratza Encore or 20 clicks on the Comandante C40)
Run some of the hot water through your filter, cone, and into your mug to heat them up
Discard the water in your mug
Pour the grinds into the filter
With your finger create a little indentation in the middle of grounds to help with the bloom phase
Pour 50 g of the boiling water on the coffee and let it bloom for 45 seconds
While the coffee blooms, give the V60 a slight swirl, or a gentle stir
After the bloom, pour another 50 g of water over the course of 10 seconds in a circular pattern (don't pour in just one spot)
Let it drain for about 10 seconds
You should now have 100 g of water through the coffee
Repeat the process three more times until you get a total of 250 g of water
On the last pulse of water, do another swirl
Let it drain, and throw away the filter and coffee
Aim to finish drawdown by 3 minutes and 30 seconds
Stir the coffee in your mug
Enjoy
Hario V60 Two cup
I'm using a plastic size 02 V60 with 02 sized filters. This is adapted from Hoffmann's recipe.
Boil 18 oz / 510 g of water. You’ll be using 18 oz / 440 g of water for the coffee, and some of the rest to rinse the filter, and warm your cup and cone.
Grind 26 grams of beans to about a table salt size (Setting 10 on the Baratza Encore or 20 clicks on the Comandante C40)
Run some of the hot water through your filter, cone, and into your mug to heat them up
Discard the water in your mug
Pour the grinds into the filter and cone
With your finger create a little indentation in the middle of grounds to help with the bloom phase
Pour about 60 g of the boiling water on the coffee and let it bloom for 45 seconds
Over the next 30 seconds, pour the next 180 g of water so you have a total of 240 g.
Gently swirl the V60
Pour the remaining 200 g of water over the coffee over the next 30 seconds.
Do a little stir in one direction, then a little stir in the opposite direction. This will move the coffee gently from the sides of the filter.
Let it drain a bit, then gently swirl the brewer one last time.
Let it drain, and throw away the filter and coffee
Aim to finish drawdown by 3 minutes and 30 seconds
Stir the coffee in your mug
Enjoy!
