Simple V60 Hand Drip

When brewing a new coffee with the v60 hand drip method, we often start with this basic and very simple brew recipe and adapt it if needed. Adjust this recipe depending on the coffee you use and adjust according to your preferences.

extraction time: 2:30-3:00
ground coffee: 15g
water at 93°c: 250g
coffee-water ratio: 1:16.7

  1. Grind 15g of specialty coffee at a medium-coarse grind setting.
  2. Rinse paper filter with hot water.
  3. Pour 50g of water and stir slightly with a spoon.
  4. Pour 200g of water (250g in total) after 30s and swirl.
  5. Total brew time should be around 2:30 to 3:00. Adjust grind if brew is faster/slower.

We often brew with a third pour: Instead of pouring the remaining 200g of water at 30 seconds, we pour 100g and then another 100g at around 1:00 to 1:10.
