Start by bringing a full kettle of water to boil. Meanwhile, with your scale at zero, measure between 21 and 28 grams of coffee. If it’s your first time preparing pour over, start with 22 grams. Over time, you’ll determine a personal preference when it comes to ratio. Take your measured beans, and grind coffee to a consistency of sea salt.
Prepare your Hario V60 by setting the cone on top of the carafe. Then, line the interior of the cone with a V60 filter. Using your kettle, saturate the entire filter to remove any paper taste and to secure the filter’s position. Discard the water from the carafe and then position the Hario V60 set-up on the scale.
With your scale at zero, place your coffee grounds in the filter. Gently tap the cone to level the grounds before moving onto the next step. Again, tare the scale. Take your kettle and saturate the grounds until your scale reaches 50 grams. At this point, return the kettle to its base and set your time for 30 seconds. During these 30 seconds, watch your coffee bloom. Then, resume pouring. Slowly create circles as you pour, gradually increasing and decreasing the size of your circles to evenly water the grounds. Once the scale reaches 365 grams, stop pouring and return the kettle to its base.
Patiently, let all of the water move completely through the filter. Then, remove the filter and discard. Set the Hario V60 cone aside, and pour coffee from the carafe into your mug. Enjoy your flavorful home brewed mug of pour over.
