How to Make Pour Over Coffee with Hario V60

Introduction

Making pour over coffee can seem like a daunting task, but it doesn’t have to be. With the right equipment and a few simple steps, you can easily make a delicious cup of pour over coffee with a Hario V60. In this article, we’ll show you how.

Gather Your Equipment

Before you can start brewing your coffee, you’ll need to gather the right equipment. You’ll need a Hario V60, a scale, a kettle, a timer, and, of course, some freshly-ground coffee.

Prepare the Filter

Before you start brewing, you’ll need to prepare the filter. Start by wetting the filter with hot water. This will get rid of any papery taste, as well as pre-heat the V60. Let the hot water sit in the V60 for about 15 seconds, then discard it.

Add the Coffee

Now it’s time to add the coffee. Start by adding your freshly-ground coffee to the filter. Make sure to evenly distribute the grounds in the V60.

Start the Bloom

Now it’s time to start the bloom. Start by adding twice as much water as coffee to the V60. For example, if you are using 20g of coffee, you’ll need to add 40g of water. Slowly pour the water in a circular motion, making sure to evenly wet all the grounds. Let the coffee bloom for 30 seconds.

Continue Pouring

Once the bloom is done, continue pouring the remaining water in a slow and steady stream. Aim for a pouring time of about 2 minutes. Once all the water has been poured, you should have about 250ml of brewed coffee.

Enjoy Your Coffee!

You’ve done it! You’ve just made a delicious cup of pour over coffee with a Hario V60. All that’s left to do is to enjoy your freshly-brewed cup of joe.
