The Hario V60 is a Japanese pour-over coffee method known for its precision and elegance.
Named after its V-shaped 60° cone design, the V60 allows water to flow evenly through the coffee bed, producing a bright, aromatic, and complex cup.
It’s a favorite among coffee enthusiasts because it gives full control over every variable — grind size, temperature, and pour speed — resulting in a truly handcrafted brew.
🧂 Ingredients You’ll Need
- 18 g freshly ground coffee beans (medium-fine grind)
- 300 ml hot water (about 93°C / 200°F)
🛠️ Equipment
- Hario V60 dripper (01 or 02)
- Hario paper filter
- Gooseneck kettle
- Digital scale and timer
- Mug or server
👨🍳 Step-by-Step Process
1. Prepare the V60
Place your V60 dripper on a mug or carafe and insert the paper filter.
Rinse the filter thoroughly with hot water to remove any papery taste and to preheat the dripper.
Discard the rinse water.
2. Add the Coffee Grounds
Weigh 18 grams of coffee and grind it to a medium-fine texture — slightly finer than sand.
Add it to the V60 and shake gently to level the coffee bed.
3. Start the Bloom
Start your timer and pour 40–50 ml of hot water evenly over the grounds.
Let it sit for 30–45 seconds to allow gases to escape — this is called the bloom.
You’ll see the coffee rise and bubble slightly.
4. Begin Pouring in Circles
After the bloom, slowly pour the remaining water in small, controlled circular motions.
Avoid pouring directly on the paper filter to ensure even extraction.
Continue pouring until you reach 300 ml total around the 2:30–3 minute mark.
5. Let It Drip and Serve
When the dripping slows and the bed looks flat, remove the V60.
Swirl your coffee gently in the carafe or mug to mix the flavors evenly, then serve and enjoy.
💡 Tips for the Perfect Hario V60 Coffee
- Use freshly roasted beans for the best flavor clarity.
- Control your pour — slow, steady, and consistent is key.
- Keep your water temperature around 93°C (200°F) for balanced extraction.
- Experiment with ratios (1:15 or 1:17 coffee to water) to suit your taste.
- Try using a gooseneck kettle — it gives you better precision when pouring.
