Hario V60

Method

For a Hario V60, use 15 g medium-ground coffee in a rinsed V60 filter and flatten the bed. Start with a 50 g bloom, give a quick swirl, and wait 45 s. At 0:45 spiral-pour to 150 g in small circles (avoid the walls), then at 1:20 spiral to 250 g, keeping the surface wet the whole time. Aim to finish in 2:30–3:10; if you see channeling, pour narrower and more center-biased, and if drawdown is slow or stalls, go coarser.

Steps

1. Rinse, add 15 g, flatten bed.
2. 0:00 Bloom 50 g; swirl; 45 s.
3. 0:45 Spiral pour to 150 g (small circles, avoid walls).
4. 1:20 Spiral to 250 g; keep surface wet.
5. Finish ~2:30–3:10.

Fix it: Channeling → pour narrower/center-biased. Slow/stalled → coarser.
