NOTE: In the V60 brewing method, a short time of 3 minutes is needed for the coffee to be brewed. You can prepare approximately 16 cups of coffee with a 250 gram coffee package. In the V60 brewing method , you must use medium ground coffee.
You can use the following sample information for the coffee/water ratio you need for V60 brewing:
• 15 gr. coffee (2 tablespoons) / 240ml water
• 30 gr. coffee (4 tablespoons) / 480ml water
• 45 gr. coffee (6 tablespoons) / 720ml water
- Wet the paper filter with hot water. Thanks to this process, it is ensured that the paper filter adheres well to the teapot. At the same time, the wet paper filter prevents the smell of paper from mixing with the coffee and spoiling its aroma.
- Fill the teapot halfway with hot water and then wait 10 seconds for the coffee to start dripping into the glass. This process is called blooming. During blooming, some undesirable acids that spoil the taste of coffee are released together with carbon dioxide. Thus, all the flavor profiles of your coffee will begin to form.
- Within 55 seconds after the blooming is over, continue to brew your coffee evenly with the remaining water.
As you use your V60 coffee brewing apparatus , you will reach the ideal brewing tailored for you by making small adjustments with the temperature of the water, the fineness and amount of coffee according to your own taste. Bon Appetit!
