*THE ULTIMATE V60 TECHNIQUE*
Brew ratio: 60 g/L (e.g. 30 g per 500 mL)
Grind size: medium fine
Temperature: *the hotter, the better* (especially with lighter roasts)
◉ Grind 30 g of coffee
◉ Rinse paper filter with water just off the boil
_This removes any paper taste and preheats the brewer_
◉ Add coffee grounds to V60
◉ Create well in the middle of the grounds
_This helps to evenly saturate all the grounds during the blooming phase_
◉ Start timer
_t = __0:00_
◉ Add 2x coffee weight = 60 g of bloom water
_Don’t use more than 3x coffee weight_
◉ Swirl the coffee slurry until evenly mixed
_The aim is to wet all the coffee grounds by evenly mixing bloom water and coffee_
*Swirling is better than using a spoon*
◉ Bloom for up to 45 s
_This allows CO2 to escape which will improve extraction_
_t = __0:45_
◉ Add water aiming for 60% of total brew weight = 300 g in the next 30 s
*This phase is critical!*
_Since you already added 60 g bloom water, add 240 g in 30 s (flow rate = 8 g/s)_
_A full V60 is good to maintain high temperatures_
_t = __1:15_
_P.S.: Don’t worry about pouring directly onto the V60 filter_
◉ Add water aiming for 100% of the total brew weight = 500 g in the next 30 s
_Since you already added 300 g water, add 200 g in 30 s (flow rate = 6.66 g/s)_
_Poor a little slower than in the first phase, not too aggressively_
_t = __1:45_
◉ Stir 1x clockwise and 1x anticlockwise with spoon
_This knocks off grounds from side wall_
◉ Allow V60 to drain a little
◉ Give V60 a gentle swirl
_This helps obtain a flat coffee bed at bottom of V60 for even extraction_
◉ Let brew drawdown
*The higher the temperature, the faster the drawdown*
_Filter paper also affects drawdown_
_Aim to finish drawdawn by t = __3:30_
◉ *Enjoy!*
Pieter thank you! I’m not a native English speaker so this really helps ☺️
Thank you .. Really appreciate the effort here
Ty
One more thing to try before enjoying the Brew: stir the coffee with a spoon. Especially if you are brewing directly into a mug. Similar reasoning to stirring an espresso before drinking, you mix the top bitter layers with the bottom sweet layers into
homogenized goodness.
Amazing video! I have gone through many techniques how to brew coffee by using V60 but this one is the most reasonable. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge / experience and for putting so much effort into this video. 👍🏽🙂
I’m glad UA-cam doesn’t tell me how often I’ve watched this video
🤣😂
lol
Need a refresher occasionally to make sure I am doing it right still.
Lololololol x2 😂😂😂
This morning is probably my 10th. Saturdays I generally have coffee with James Hoffman, one way or another.
Can we just appreciate for a moment how excellent a communicator James is. A masterclass.
100% agree!!
Why?
It's just the British accent 😅
@@astatalolno This is very clearly a skill he worked on and developed
Timestamps for Replays:
3:49 coffee to water ratio/ filter rinse
4:36 final setup before pour
5:26 bloom stage pour
5:52 bloom stage swirl
6:33 60% total liquid in
8:05 100% total liquid in
8:30 spoon knock down
8:49 final swirl
11:01 conclusion/extraction adjustments
This could easily be the tracklist for the next Radiohead album
They really went back to their roots with "Spoon Knock Down" and "Bloom Stage Swirl" imo
If i use 15gr of coffee ... does it still the same brewing time? Do I need to grind finer ?
@@MysterousBear "final swirl" never misses to give me chills. The mood of the song always echoes me that exit music feeling. Prolly one of my fav albums so far
@@fareed130 Yes, same time. No don't change the grind size.
Thanks for this!
its unhealthy the amount of times i come back to revisit this and i still learn something new
I just realized that stirring tastes worse than swirling is because ppl often stir with a cold spoon, thus messing up the brew temperature...
Just a theory tho
@@stonecat676 absolutely. I thought of the same thing. Started using warmed up spoon (sitting in a bit of hot water). It seems to have worked. My problem now is getting a proper grind size to eliminate my longer draw down. On my harío manual ceramic grinder, I started at 26 clicks, but now at 21. Big difference. Any suggestions?
💯
Same
Same tho
If you're struggling to remember how much 60% of the total water weight is, it will always be 10x the amount of coffee when using his ratios. So 30g coffee->300g water.
Underrated comment.
Good reference
@@MplsIRR maaaths
you the real one
🤯
Been practicing this for the past 2 days. Think I finally got the technique down this morning. We had a houseguest from Los Angeles visiting and I told him to give the coffee a try. His response was, "Damn, you people in Seattle really know how to make good coffee".
I thought my pour over was good before. Thanks for improving it several times over by sharing this excellent technique.
I'm Irish. I read your guest's response in an American accent in my head! I've been watching to much American TV.
@@aoifeosullivan9917 I mean, there's no reason you shouldn't; LA is in California.
@@jordananderson2728 And LA is majority Mexican, so you need to put that accent on it.
That’s an awesome story
Excellent quote: "The best technique in the world beautifully executed but with low quality coffee will just give you a perfectly terrible cup of coffee." XD
I'm studying chemistry, and this is more complicated than 90% of my labs
titrations were simpler 😂
@@matiaschacana5768 making coffee good tasting for you is easy, making coffee that's good from an objective point of view is hard as fuck
I'm a biochemist and I agree. Lol well at least until you get into the 3 week labs...
Nah, wait until you get into P-Chem 😎
Well, to be honest, making coffee or any other drinks is just chemistry, no matter it’s coffee tea or even coca cola. Coffee and tea are probably among the most complex things. We can launch a rocket out of the solar system, but we still can’t figure out everything that is in a cup of coffee.
I probably rewatch this at least once a month and re-evaluate my brew process.
Thought I was the only one 🤣
Same
Also thought that i the only one 😂😂😂
I watch it before and after every brew. Should probably stop.
Weekly for me 😜
I keep coming back to this video. It's a good touch-point, to reset any habits I've slid into, and to question any changes I've made to my brew. Thanks James!
I have been home brewing for 4 years now and I still come back and watch this from time to time. You always re-learn something, or maybe understand some things a little better.
"The best executed with low quality coffee will just get you a perfectly terrible cup of coffee." One of the world's great truths.
Yup. Got me some Perfectly clear ashtray today.
Yep 😎
This series is such a welcome alternative to most other coffee instruction videos, with their meandering narrations and clumsy presentations. The Hoff is fluent, focused and engaging, with a likable personality. His speaking voice is well-rounded, not over-extracted, with prominent notes of origin.
Aye. He knows his stuff, he's on here to show you his knowledge, not show off.
Reminds me of Steve Ramsay.
Good puns
"The Hoff" -- Like it.
Yep. His voice is just the right grind - not too bitter, not too sour. Hints of caramel and just a touch of chocolate.
Definitely consistent, balanced and a hint of spicy
Just used this technique for my first non-aeropress home coffee in 7+ years. Love it! Thanks for all you share with us, James.
Got my first V60 (and first pour over device ever) and have been watching this every morning to help myself master the art. Thanks James!
IT'S FINALLY HERE! WE FINALLY BULLIED JAMES INTO MAKING IT!
You all win, it is made and I hope it is useful. Swirl your bloom, that's probably the biggest single recommendation I'd make.
It's too late :( I moved over to coffee flavoured water...
@@McDoucheVonDouche :D
@@jameshoffmann #SwirlThatBloom
What setting do you use on the svart? I use the same grinder.
They say you get great things when you hassle the Hoff.
Awesome video - super helpful. Our V60's are our second coffee brewing method and it's been hard nailing the technique. I imagine all this detailed advice will help a lot. You've answered so many of my questions. Thanks!
After a couple months of practice, thanks to you and your excellent videos, I am starting to become consistent in my coffee making...thank you, James.
James out here busting the "don't pour on the paper" myth
well, yes and no. He still didn't recommend doing it, but for a different reason. It's not that the water bypasses the coffee, rather it's because it slows the draw down too much.
Ikr?! Here I’ve been avoiding the paper like I’m crayoning out of the lines
*James Hoffman actually releases his V60 video*
YOU FOOLS! YOU MESSED WITH THE NATURAL ORDER!!!
Great video as always, James! Really looking forward into videos like portable car coffee makers you did. I loooved the style and aesthetic, and your montage always just great for this format.
This has been my technique for V60 for over a year. It took me a long time to get the grind size and technique right (weeks to months) but now I can produce consistently delicious pour overs. Thank you!
Me: *just finished brewing a v60 coffee
Hoffman: *uploaded a video about brewing with v60 dripper a minute later
Also me: *screw this coffee, i’m gonna make a new one with the ultimate technique*
Literally Same!
How was the 2nd coffee?
it's been 9 hours, looks like he still can't get over the ultimate coffee making experience
Benjamin Esau well, in my experience, the 2nd coffee tastes more flavorful than I usually made, u should try it yourself to know the difference tho
@@irwandwicahyo8759 yeahh true
But for me its too much hassle when grind using manual hand grinder 😭
Looking forward to seeing “the ultimate Aeropress technique”
That will be around 2022.
Same
I'd say 15g coffee for 200g water (80c). Use the inverted technique. Pour all 200g in at once. gently agitate the top inch of the coffee with a tea spoon for 20s. Pop the filter on top which will take you to around 30s (rinse the paper beforehand of course). Gently press for a minute and aim to be done at 1m30s. Don't let the coffee get to the hissing phase. Stir your cup of coffee and enjoy. Would love to know others preferred methods.
davidevoid I’ll give this a go tomorrow morning... I’ll let you know!
@@peterbest4943 Not sure if you do the inverted technique much but I'd say push the plunger in so it's just touching the circle of the 4 and then 200g is around 1cm from the top. When you go for the flip be sure to push the cup and the plunger against one another and be fairly quick to avoid any accidents. I'm very curious how everyone else makes Aeropress coffee but this is my technique anyways.
I actually now own a v60 because of your channel, and I am doing my best to master this technique. The difference it makes, even as a beginner, compared to machine brewed coffee, is astounding. It's especially easy to see when using the same coffee for the machine and the V60.
Thank you for this video, and for showing a coffee addict like myself that there is so much more depth to the world of coffee than I previously thought!
Thanks to you I have been using the V60 enabling me to render consistently wonderfully brewed cups every time! And, yes, I use a burr grinder and have done so for years.
Are you reading my mind James hoffman? i just wished to have a nice tutorial while brewing my v60.
thanks for answering my prayers so fast
“Keep pushing... until you hit this sudden wall of bitterness, harshness, and astringency-at that point you’ve gone too far.” This is very deep.
Haha but it's true!
After years of fighting with my V60 technique, I finally have a set of instructions that gave me a "wow" cup of coffee! Thanks, James!
I just made my first Hario pourover with your technique and it was a GAME CHANGER..... Thank you James Hoffmann.
Me: Bought an expensive pouring kettle
James Hoffman: regular kettle works fine
That why i ddnt buy the expensive pouring kettle.james said mine was fine hahaha.Bought the other expinsive stuff:scale/handgrinder/ etc.
Having a decent grinder is way more important than having a kettle. The baratza encore I bought years ago was only like $130 and it's still like brand new.
He has recently done a thorough comparison of different pouring kettles based on new information.
I literally screamed in happiness when I saw the thumbnail!!
Haha same here!
Me too!
I watched this video when I first started to make pour overs. I have found it to be very helpful as are all the videos you post. You are very knowledgeable and entertaining to listen to. Thank you from myself and I guess everyone else who has learned this technique from you!
It took my 5 days of practice (I hadn't ever done a pour over before) but this morning I made myself the best coffee I have ever had! Thanks so much!!!
I never had interest in making amazing coffee until I ran into your channel. Now I have a coffee grinder, good beans and spend all my time wondering how I can best optimize the flavor of my coffee. What have you done to me James!!!
thats exactly what i had XD
Same as me. I used to drink .50 cents espresso vending machine shots with 3 spoons of sugar. Now i am living in a V60 paper house eating used coffee beans for breakfast and sun drying my own vineyard coffee beans
Same happened to me.
Anyone else want James to come try their coffee to see where they can improve?
This would be an awesome series !
James Hoffmann: Coffee Doc
I would watch the heck out of that!
Not really, he would probably slap me & make me pay for the flight.
@@mikeradford5630 lamooooooo 😂
Got a mental image of him bending down to look at my bottomless portafilter, then coming back up with coffee dripping off his glasses where it's sprayed all over his face, wiping the glasses with a handkerchief and, after a pause, saying "How about a cup of tea instead?"
Ive been thinking about being much more serious with my coffee,... and your content is brilliant, sir. So much information and personal experience shared. Well done.
Thank you so much James, my medium roast coffee tastes magnificent now, none of the slight bitterness that I couldn’t eliminate using my french press! Using 49th Parallel coffee beans, grind setting 18 on my Bravia Encore as per their literature.
Elevating my technique is definitely an understatement 😂 looks like I had no clue what I was doing... Thank you
Felt exactly the same - like we were doing it wrong all of the time 😂
*Compact Instructions*
*Overall:* 1L water - 60g coffee
*Bloom:* 2g water - 1g coffee
_Swirl until evenly mixed_
_Wait until 45 sec_
*Pour %60 of total water in 30 secs:* moderate speed & circular motion
*Pour %100 of total water in 30 secs:* slowly
_Twirl gently with a spoon 2 times each direction_
_Swirl when water drained halfway through_
One correction. Do not wait 45 sec. Wait until 45 sec.
@@jizzwow thx fixed
@@jizzwow He actually said wait for up to 45 sec...
If i use 15gr of coffee ... does it still the same brewing time? Do I need to grind finer ?
I've been watching your videos a lot recently and I finally tried your V60 method (it was also my first time brewing coffee) and I was right to keep my expectations low because you certainly made it look easier than it actually is haha. I intend to practice consistently and hope to improve over time with experience. Thank you for all your informative videos. :)
Any skill gets easier with practice. Don't forget, you can take as long as you need measuring, grinding, setting up, and so forth; the only parts of this that are on any sort of timer are the actual pour steps -- bloom pour, swirl, wait 30-45 seconds, another 30 seconds pouring to the 60% level (which can be gauged by the cone filling if your brew is matched to your dripper size), then the rest of the brew water (the last 40%) over the following thirty seconds. Stir, then swirl, and when it's all drained through, dump the filter and grounds, pour the coffee, and enjoy!
its taken me a year, only now getting better. it's true with any hobby, you're gonna have a really rough start but if you commit you won't regret it. anybody who says they nailed it on the first try is either lying or their coffee is shit n they don't know
Personally found that with a regular kettle, it's better to not create the hole for the bloom, it's too difficult (for me) to control the water and it tends to hit through the grounds and basically drain before I have chance to even swirl it, so better to leave the grounds a bit "moundy" and then pour the bloom water
So after a month of tuning, I finally got Jame's technic, wonderful cup of coffee this morning. Thank James! You did make my morning better and better.
the single most important think to remember is after preheating v60/cup dump water into the sink ! i don't know how many time i have forgoten that, and wasted coffe
We've all been there...
happens to the best
Nie Karol Ugh. When look into the glass and the level is higher than it should be: “Crap. Didn’t throw out the rinse water.” The worst.
well according to mister hoffmann the taste of filter water is "not unpleasant actually"
I use the preheat water to preheat the mugs a little =]
Looking at my instant coffee on my table while watching this.
I have watched this video so many time. As I am getting deeper into speciality coffee and pour over coffee brewing, I am being exposed into new issues and unknowns. Every time, I came back to this video and I learned something new.
I’ve just recently gotten back into coffee after working on a 5 year project that has taken so much of my time. And being able to binge watch your videos has been such a value. You got me to retry the aero press, just picked up a V60 etc. to me coffee is a hobby and such a fun one at that.
I have to say, the Hario plastic brewer is the singular bastion in human existence for the highest quality version of something in a line of products being far and away the cheapest to purchase iteration.
James - As an american who is stuck at home for the pandemic and learning how to make goof coffee at home, your videos are more than god given. I hope that i will be given an opportunity to have a chat with you in person over coffee in a more lively and proper way
As a novice in pour over, this has helped me stop wasting my coffee grounds (for light and medium roasts) and get consistently good coffee (regardless of the beans I have) 😸 I always use to get under extracted coffee on light- medium roasts, because I was impatient and was not as particular with the difference in water temperature needed for lighter and darker roasts. Thank you~
As someone who always just poured all the water in there at the same time which left most of the coffee on the sides of the filter, this video changed my life
You know you're deep in this coffee enthusiasm when you apply v60 techniques while taking a piss
Make sure to swirl your bloom
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you! My single biggest frustration with V60 recipes is that no one has quantified or explained as well as you have here the flow needed when pouring after the bloom.
I noticed this weekend after doing some cuppings at home that I was pouring far too gently from the kettle. Not agitating the coffee enough and thus not getting a crust when cupping. My plan was to apply that to my V60 brews this week. This will make the trial and error far easier!
I have just tried your recommendations and my brew improved significantly. Thank you!
I found myself coming back to this video after 3 years. In that time I’d experimented with several other types of devices. I was surprised at what I’d forgotten over time, while trying various other methods, beans and grinds. Anyway this was a great refresher! Thanks again.
Thought I would add some observations after working with this method for the last week.
I had been brewing 22g of coffee to 360g of water based on Scott Rao’s recommendation. A key insight that James provided here was the relativity of the pour to dose: it led me to realize that experimenting with the pour and agitation was going to be a whole lot easier if I was brewing a larger batch of coffee. Once I moved to 30 / 500 as in the video, it not only became easier to pour, but troubleshooting the brew became easier as well. Meaning the bitterness of channeling or the hollowness of under-extraction became far easier to discern.
One other benefit of moving to a larger batch was that it also made it immediately obvious that I was getting channeling at the seam of the filter. There was a buildup of fines at the crease compared to the rest of the filter. Prepping the filter is not discussed in this video, which might be a welcome addition if James ever makes a V2 of this video. ;) I ended up referencing George Howell’s V60 video and watched how he prepped his filter: creasing it firmly against the counter and then pressing it firmly into the brewer to ensure that it was fully expanded before pre-wet. I think my poor prep of the filter was setting my brews up for failure.
After going through a few bags of coffee this week, I’ve learned a lot about V60 brewing even though I’ve been making them at home for over a year. James’s ability to communicate the ideas behind what makes the technique work, as opposed to just demonstrating a recipe, really helped guide my brewing experiments and ultimately obtaining a more enjoyable cup.
Can confirm that my V60 with the small cone (01) finally taste good after adapting this insight! The key is to be more careful in the 1st phase, and then pour really close to the paper during in the 2nd phase. It ends up looking quite a lot different from brewing with the medium (02) cone
Totally agree, videos that skip the "why" explanations are almost useless if anything isn't going right. If I know WHY I am doing something, I can start to troubleshoot myself.
I once had to spit out my first sip from a cup that was brewed with a loose filter seam. I shouted at the barista, "DIDN'T YOU FIRMLY CREASE THE FILTER SEAM? YOU DIDN'T, DID YOU!" (Or maybe I just dreamed it.)
I've been making my morning cup of coffee with a cone-shaped brewer for years. After watching this video and using this technique, it transformed my morning cup from "meh" to "my god." Thanks, James.
I love this mans Voice! The sound and articulation helps me to overcome my senior moments ADHD.
Great job James! As usual, very clear, detailed presentation of the technique. You are a gem.
Never brewed in my v60 before despite having it for years. Followed this method just now and all I can say is wow!
Its amazing to see someone as distingushed as you dedicating their time and effort to help out fellow enthusiasts and professionals alike. On behalf of the community, thank you James ❤
Thanks James. I've been watching your videos for some time and finally got myself a V60 and scale. Drinking my first cup now. Well worth the effort!
Thanks your in depth explanation. It a very scientific and practical approach. Your candor and humor makes the video engaging and entertaining at the same time.
I just want to say, thank you for existing and making these videos. I’ve searched high and low for a quality channel dedicated to COFFEE. I’ve struck gold!
Thank you. This has improved my V60 technique... and highlighted that my grinder sucks.
This is fantastic tip, I have been making guestimate pour over at the office for a long time, and just by implementing whatever I could from this video immediately produced very noticeable results on the upside
Back some time ago I was looking for a job and i was stuck between working at a fancy restaurant and at a fancy cafe as a barista. I'm glad I ended up working at the restaurant because all this coffee science makes me anxious.
This video has literally transformed my v60 brews at home to a whole other level. I can finally definitively taste the notes that are listed on the coffee I buy. Thank you so much! How exciting!
OK, after third watch and three month of practice I think I finally remembered and understood the technique.
But even not quite right procedure gives me great results. Thank you SO MUCH for this throughout tutorial!
the editing on your videos is always fantastic. what I would love to see is an unedited real-time brew from start to finish
Thank you I’ve been enjoying your channel as a scientist for quite a while. I recently bought a V60 and wanted to experiment. I found this video and I think I’m in heaven. I’ve been very happy with a series of French presses and how we’ve managed making good French press coffee. This is another step. My V60 is far from perfect, but I see how to make it better
Thanks James, this was easily the best cup of coffee I’ve ever had even on my first attempt. A lot of the coffee I buy gives tasting notes and I could easily pick out all the notes that they give. V60 coffee is amazing and I’m looking forward to improving my technique!
"It's OK to pulse a little bit". Excellent. Have made detailed notes.
thank you james for the plethora of helpful and entertaining videos that you have given us!
i remember when i bought my first bag of whole coffee beans, i didn’t know what a burr grinder was so i bought an entry level blade grinder.
i watched your video on how to fix blade grinders and without having to spend a dime or do anything complicated, i was able to make use out of my first blade grinder and make an even more delicious cup of coffee thanks to you!
i’ve tried both your very own james hoffmann’s v60 method as well as tetsu kasuya’s method and although they both produce excellent cups of coffee, i preferred the final product from kasuya’s method. even with that being said, thank you for continuing to make and deliver informative and entertaining coffee content!
I got my V60 today and yes, no resistance whatsoever and as a result a lightning quick brew as compared to my Aeropress. It didn't taste bad, surprisingly good considering how quickly the water went through but could be better hence giving this video another watch to get some tips. I hope to be able to perfect it as I'm already quite impressed with this device as it definitely seems more suited to the purpose then me essentially using my Aeropress as a pour over.
On the first day of Christmas James Hoffmann gave to me,
The long-awaited guide for the V60.
Thank you James. I have now used this technique over 100 times having gone through a full V60 filter pack and it has proved extremely helpful.
This nails it totally...it makes quite a positive difference in the taste of your brew. Thanks James!
Re watching this as finally received my Wilfa uniform that’s been on back order since Feb - Got myself a scale, V60 & a kettle (From square mile!) and just had my first crack at a brew! Come back to make notes - excited to practise and improve! Thank you Mr H for your continued & brilliant content, love all the guides and information you have to offer, amazing work good sir 👍
Just got into grinding, brewing and in general just caring more for my coffee. It's been a steep learning curve so far, definately doesn't help that my beans (gifted as a starting package) apparently are quite easily bitter tasting.
Thank you for the guide, newbies like me definately learned much. I think my biggest point right now is just to practice, practice, practice. My cups are getting better every time and it makes me very pleased. Can't wait to start having this in my fingertips.
I've seen this about 10 times now and I keep learning something new/something I've missed from the previous viewing.
Wow, this is so different from some of the recommendations I've heard and been following for years. Excited to try this out!
Been using an AeroPress for a bit as a coffee newbie, just bought a cheap plastic V60 and papers and looking to give it a try the next time I’m home. Thanks for a great video to help out us new folks.
This literally came at the perfect time for me. Just getting into v60. Amazing as always James.
Tried this method today and I was really pleased with the outcome. I appreciate that you stick with grams and mL, it really helps one when trying to duplicate recipes and methods of brewing.
Amazing video, i followed this technoque and my first v60 brew of my life was better than any coffe i drank before. Amazing! Thank you James.
I am amazed of your ability to explain things beautifully. Even if they are not that complicated to understand.
Stop swirling your espresso
Start swirling your V60

I did my first pourover today. I was able to follow these steps quite closely and had surprisingly good results. :-) :-)
Weighing my beans has completely changed my brewing experience. I was using a scoop and estimating the amount of beans. My pour-over is so much better now. THANKS!
I didn't think that you could have learnt anything from brewing by hand. But I did. My coffee actually tastes better. Especially the "wait 30-45 seconds" trick has helped so much. Thank you so much.
Thanks James. I brew with a v60 and am one of those people who have been grinding coarser to try and speed up my brew as it was taking too long. I've tested with your method the past two days and I have been able to grind finer, while brewing quicker. And crucially, my coffee has tasted better. So thanks for your time testing/developing this!
I have never seen someone who explains everything in detail in a single tutorial video. Can't wait to try and explore this technique. As always thank you for the sharing the knowledge.
It's all in the details
I fell so grateful to have access to someone life experience in a 12 minutes video, thanks a lot :)
Aha, didnt realize the V60 has less "resistance" than a clever or melitta, well explained. Wish my glass switch had come with the inset thinghy.
Just tried this, definitley improved my morning coffee!!
So excited! I was just thinking about this the other day.
I’ve been following this method for almost two years now. Came back to give this another watch just to see all of the reasons James has for doing it this way… learned I forgot the well for the bloom relatively early on 😅
I didn't used to like coffee. I started drinking coffee a couple of years ago for its health benefits. I'm so glad I found your channel because while I'm still really new to coffee I have gotten to the point where I can make myself a cup I enjoy.
