If you are a coffee enthusiast, then you must have heard of the Hario V60 brewing method. This brewing method is known for its ability to produce a clean and crisp cup of coffee. However, if you are new to brewing coffee with a Hario V60, it can be quite intimidating. But fear not, in this article we will go over a step-by-step guide on how to brew coffee using a Hario V60 for beginners.

What you will need:

Before we dive into the brewing process, let's first gather all the necessary equipment and ingredients:

• Hario V60 dripper
• Hario V60 paper filters
• Digital scale
• Gooseneck kettle
• Coffee beans
• Grinder
• Mug

Step-by-step guide:

Step 1: Heat up your water

Bring your water to a boil and let it cool for about 30 seconds. The ideal temperature for brewing coffee with a Hario V60 is between 195-205°F (90-96°C).

Step 2: Grind your coffee beans

Grind your coffee beans to a medium-fine consistency. You should aim for a grind size similar to table salt.

Step 3: Rinse your paper filter

Place your paper filter in the Hario V60 dripper and rinse it with hot water to remove any paper taste and to preheat the dripper and mug.

Step 4: Add your coffee grounds

Place your Hario V60 dripper on top of the mug and add your coffee grounds. You should aim for a coffee-to-water ratio of 1:16.5 (for example, 20g of coffee for 330g of water).

Step 5: Bloom your coffee

Pour enough water over the coffee grounds to saturate them, and let it sit for 30 seconds. This process is called blooming and helps to release the trapped gases in the coffee.

Step 6: Start your pour

Pour the rest of your hot water slowly and evenly over the coffee grounds in a circular motion. You should aim to pour the water in about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7: Enjoy your coffee

Once you have finished pouring the water, let the coffee drip through the filter and into your mug. This process should take around 2-3 minutes. Once it's done, remove the Hario V60 dripper and enjoy your freshly brewed coffee!

Brewing coffee with a Hario V60 may seem intimidating at first, but it's actually quite simple. By following the steps outlined in this article, you can brew a delicious cup of coffee in no time. Remember to experiment with different coffee beans and grind sizes to find your perfect cup of coffee.
