Pour over is an alternative method of brewing coffee that uses a special funnel.
Sometimes this method is called “funnel”.
Sometimes V60 or Hario after the most popular funnel manufacturer.
Why is it called V60
The name V60 comes from the V-shaped funnel, the angle of which is 60 degrees.
The resulting cone was designed to hold a paper filter, had a large drip hole and spiral fins on the inside to allow air to escape during brewing.
What grind is needed for V60
If the recipe involves portioned infusions and prolonged contact for three to four minutes, then the grinding will be coarse, like sea salt.
Our recipe is designed for two infusions and an extraction time of 2:30-3:00, so we need a finer grind, closer to medium.
How to brew correctly at 60
Do not pour quickly, try to wet all the coffee. It will greedily absorb water and begin to swell and exude aroma; II - At the 30th second, begin to carefully pour water in a spiral - from the center to the walls, trying not to get on the walls of the funnel themselves.
Grind the required amount of coffee. Proportions for brewing coffee in a pour over: 60-65 grams of coffee per 1 liter of water.
Boil fresh water of low mineralization in a kettle, which is suitable for brewing coffee.
Place the filter in the pour-over and pour 200-300 ml of hot water in a circular motion.
We previously talked about caffeine and sleep.
