HOW TO USE A YOUR V60 COFFEE FILTER

STEP 1

Put the V60 on top of the mug/server, place the filter and rinse it WITH HOT WATER

STEP 2

Grind 15g of coffee and place inside the brewer.

Gently shake to settle the grounds into a flat bed.

STEP 3

Gently pour in 50g of water just off the boil.

It helps to pour the water in a circular pattern from the outside of the filter towards the centre.

STEP 4

Swirl or stir to make sure all the grounds are wet, start the timer and wait 45 seconds.

This initial wait is called the bloom and gives time for the gasses trapped in the coffee to escape.

STEP 5

Gently pour in more water until you’ve added a total of 250g. Pour using a circular motion.

Pour each new batch of water in gently, trying not to disturb the coffee grounds too much. Aim for a total brew time of 3.5 minutes (meaning the last drop should come through the filter at minute 3:30, from the start of the first pour.

STEP 6

Give a good swirl or a gentle stir once the pour is complete.

Stirring will help ensure all the grounds are evenly extracted.

STEP 7

Swirl your server or mug, serve and enjoy!

Swirling helps mix and aerate the brew.
