Hario V60 Brew Guide

Hario V60 Brew Guide

The V60 is one of the most rewarding ways to brew specialty coffee. It rewards patience and precision with a clean, bright cup that lets the bean's character shine.

What You'll Need

  • Hario V60 dripper and filter
  • Fresh specialty coffee beans
  • Gooseneck kettle
  • Kitchen scale
  • Timer
  • Your favorite mug or server

Recipe

  • Coffee: 15g
  • Water: 250ml
  • Water temperature: 93°C (just off the boil)
  • Grind size: Medium-fine
  • Total brew time: 3–3.5 minutes
  • Yield: 1 cup

Steps

1

Rinse the paper filter with hot water and discard the rinse water. This removes any papery taste and preheats your dripper.

2

Add 15g of freshly ground coffee. Give it a gentle shake to level the bed.

3

Start your timer and pour 30ml of water evenly over the grounds. Let it bloom for 30 seconds — you'll see the coffee puff up and release gas.

4

At 0:30, slowly pour in circles up to 150ml total. Keep the pour steady and avoid pouring on the filter walls.

5

At 1:15, continue pouring up to 250ml total. Maintain a slow, controlled spiral from center to edge.

6

Let the water fully drain. Your total brew time should be around 3–3.5 minutes.

7

Serve immediately and enjoy.

Tips

✦︎

Freshly roasted beans make a noticeable difference. For best results, use beans within 2–4 weeks of the roast date.

✦︎

If your brew finishes too fast (under 2:30), grind finer. If it's too slow (over 4 minutes), grind coarser.

✦︎

The V60 pairs beautifully with our bright and fruity single origins — the clean brew method lets floral and fruit notes come through clearly.
