Step by step V60 brew guide:
- Boil your kettle and let it rest for a minute until the water temperature lowers to 94°c.
- Place a filter paper into your V60 and rinse carefully with hot water discarding the water afterwards.
- Place your V60 on top of your serving jug and add your medium ground coffee, around two tablespoons or 32g, shake gently until the coffee grounds are level.
- Place the V60 and serving jug onto the scales and set to zero.
- Pour in just enough water to cover the grounds (60ml should do it) pouring in circles to ensure all the coffee grounds are covered.
- Wait around 30 - 40 seconds to allow the coffee to “bloom” and any gasses to escape.
- Over the next few minutes pour over the remainder of the water taking care to pour slowly and in a circular motion.
- Stop pouring when your scales read 450ml, serve.
