Hario V60 Recipe with Step-by-Step Instructions

The Hario V60 is a popular pour-over coffee brewing method that produces a clean and flavorful cup of coffee. It requires a bit of practice to master, but once you get the hang of it, you'll be able to make a delicious cup of coffee every time. In this article, we'll walk you through the steps of making coffee using the Hario V60.

What You'll Need

Before we get started, let's go over the tools and ingredients you'll need:

• Hario V60 dripper
• Paper filter
• Scale
• Kettle
• Coffee beans
• Grinder
• Mug or carafe

Step 1: Heat Up Your Water

The first step in making coffee with the Hario V60 is to heat up your water. You'll want to heat your water to around 200°F (93°C). If you don't have a thermometer, you can bring your water to a boil and then let it sit for a minute or two to cool down.

Step 2: Grind Your Coffee Beans

The next step is to grind your coffee beans. You'll want to grind your coffee beans to a medium-fine consistency. If your coffee is too coarse, it will result in a weak cup of coffee. If your coffee is too fine, it can clog the filter and result in a bitter cup of coffee. You'll want to use about 15 grams of coffee for every 250ml of water.

Step 3: Rinse Your Filter

Place your paper filter into the Hario V60 dripper and rinse it with hot water. This will remove any paper taste from the filter and also preheat your mug or carafe.

Step 4: Add Your Coffee

Next, add your ground coffee to the filter. Make sure the grounds are distributed evenly in the filter.

Step 5: Bloom Your Coffee

Pour enough hot water over the coffee to saturate it completely. This is called blooming and will allow the coffee to release its gases and flavors. Let the coffee bloom for about 30 seconds.

Step 6: Add More Water

After the coffee has bloomed, start pouring water over the coffee in a circular motion. Pour slowly and steadily, making sure to wet all of the coffee grounds. Keep pouring until you've reached your desired amount of coffee.

Step 7: Enjoy Your Coffee

Once you've finished pouring water over the coffee, let it finish dripping through the filter. This should take around 2-3 minutes. Once the coffee has finished dripping, remove the filter and discard it. Pour your coffee into your mug or carafe and enjoy!

Conclusion

The Hario V60 is a simple and effective way to make a delicious cup of coffee. With a little bit of practice, you'll be able to make a perfect cup every time. Remember to use freshly roasted coffee beans and experiment with different grind sizes and water temperatures to find the perfect cup of coffee for you.
