Hario® Kit V60 Dripper, in plastic, with glass decanter

Filter extraction

The perfect balance of body and flavour

Thanks to its cone with spiral ridges, fitted with a thin filter, the V60 coffee maker produces aromatic coffee with a beautifully deep flavour, and more body than with a Chemex.

Our advice

THE GRIND

Size: medium. A very fine grind will give the coffee too much body, and a very coarse grind will allow the water to flow through too quickly, bringing out the coffee's acidity.

Quantity: between 7 and 10 g for each 100 ml of water, measured with the Hario^® spoon sold with the V60

THE WATER

Filtered or spring water, if possible. Do not use boiling water (90-95 °C).

HOW TO USE

1/ Place your V60^® on top of a cup or decanter.

2/ Add the filter, bleached or unbleached, and rinse it with hot water from a pour-over kettle.

3/ Wait for all the water to drain through the filter. Discard the water.

4/ Add the correct amount of ground coffee to the filter.

5/ Pour the water in two steps. Caution: do not use boiling water.

6/ Extraction step one: pour the water slowly into the centre of the V60^®, fully saturating the coffee.

7/ Wait 30 seconds then cover the coffee with water, ensuring it does not spill out of the filter.

8/ Remove the filter and enjoy!
