I got myself a V60 (along with the honker kettle) in order to finally enjoy lighter roasts. I already have a timemore grinder and a mid range lelit espresso machine so I just wanted something to cleanse my palate and explore more varieties of coffees.
Currently I use the 15g coffee in, 5 pours ending with total of 250g over 3 minutes. I have modified the method to have more sweetness by pouring more water on second pour than rest. Pouring in a spiral motion going from center.
What are some other must know tips and core logic? What changes the flavor and what doesn’t?
I’ve always been too intimidated with the v60 process to try it and instead use a French press. Following this thread to see what I can learn!
Doesn’t seem too hard so far. Every cup has been delicious and trumps all but one or two caffe in my country.
As others point out it’s all about experimentation. Play around with the grind size, number of pours and amount of agitation for a week or so with the same coffee and soon you’ll find your own recipe for the coffee.
