Me too I literally just ordered the v60 from Amazon so I’m watching tutorials bout using these I went from French press mocha pot now this I hope this one works
Simple and informative without getting too much into the weeds - the swirl is a good technique that I also use to even out the coffee bed so it draws down evenly
I really want to try this brew, but I have 2 questions... 1. Following the 1:16 ratio, if I decided to lessen the bean weight to, say, 15g : 240mL, will I also need to lessen the time to brew it? 2. Your cup (if I computed it correctly) was brewed: - first pour to 50g: 0s - 30s - second pour to 200g: 30s - 45s - third pour to finish: 45s - 3m15s? (total of 2m 30s of it just sitting? This is what isn't making sense for me 😅) Great vid btw!! Great for beginners :)
Hey Kristine! These are great questions. 1. Yes, the total brew time will be less than what we recommend in this video since it'll take the water less time to flow through. For that, trust your pallet! If it's tasting sour, you can go a little longer. If it's tasting bitter, you might want to shorten your brew time! 2. I'm going to try my best to make this a little easier to understand haha - For the first pour, you're just pouring to 50g. This will probably take around 10-15s. Once you're done pouring, you're going to wait until the 30s mark on your timer. - The second pour to 200g will begin. This will probably take until 45s - 55s depending on how fast or slow you're pouring. Don't get caught up too much in the timing here. Just gently pour your water to 200g - Wait 10-15s for the water to come down a little bit - Begin pouring until 320g. Once you're done, just wait until it's finished brewing. It will take some time for it to draw down and should hit those target times. I don't know if that was any easier to understand, but hopefully that helped! I think you're headed in the right direction. Feel free to respond if you have any other questions. Happy to help!
@@MirrorCoffeeRoasters ah, that makes a lot more sense for me now. Thank you so much, I appreciate it! I’ll try doing this and adjust according to my taste! 😁
OMG I jus tried this and my coffee becomes SO MUCH better! Such simple tips but makes so much difference even if I was not using a scale and only eyeing on the measurements lol. Thank you!
my coffee maker recently died. So, I started using a similar method of boiling water in a kettle and pouring it over the grounds. I didn't even know it was a "thing". After a bit of trial and error I have had decent results. Many of the tips shown here are things that I learned too doing this method. Thanks.
Perfect! I'm a potter, and I've been working on a design for pour-over cones but haven't really perfected the brew technique myself yet. Knowing how fine the grounds are and about how long it should take is SUPER helpful to test out mine!
Do you have any suggestions for designing the ideal cone? I've seen a few different ways to do the drip holes, and the inside texture. What I have now I've taken a tool and carved out a swirl, but the next one I want to try is actually a piping bag full of slip to make ridges.
@@MirrorCoffeeRoasters The first few I've done I took a trimming tool and carved a spiral, but next I plan on using a piping bag full of slip to make ridges.

Wow, thanks! Every time my sister makes coffee it’s great, but every time I make my own it is so bitter! Just made some using this method, added some steamed milk and cream and it’s great! I hope to find other videos using French press and also this new Aero-press I just got! Again, my sister makes great coffee with these tools and mine turns out tasting like cigarettes. Never thought I’d need a recipe for coffee, but here I am.

THANK YOU!!!! My coffee was tasting bitter and I could not taste the chocolate notes that Starbucks Pike Place is supposed to have. I've always freshly ground my beans but was grinding too fine. I went from 8 to 10 because you said medium to coarse. I also followed your steps as close as I could with my kitchen scale. WOW! I smelled rich chocolate before I even took a sip. It tastes like rich chocolate and is way smoother than before! ❤
This combo worked perfect first time for me.. old kitchen kettle and no timer scales yet .. plus no ideas of the quality of the water disoensed here in Laos… thanks for setting me on the path to coffee mania 👍👍🙏🙏☕️
I’ve never measured out my coffee before and I was surprised how little coffee this produces. Goes to show I was brewing too much. However the cup I just made with even bad brand coffee grounds was so delicious and fruity just by following these instructions!! I live really close to the ONYX Coffee Company which is exploding all around the US. Safe to say this week I’ll be going to get their fresh coffee beans to grind myself and use with my pour over 😬

Thanks, this helps! i developed my taste for coffee when covid hit (like many others :) ), watched a couple tutorial and its always hit or miss for my pour over, and i think its when I pour the water. I usually start pouring from the outside to create the bloom, but the gounds in the middle always doesnt get wet coz I am afraid its too much water for the first round. This vid make me realize I should start from the center and swirl outward. I probably also had too small of water (4-5oz). I tried 8 oz this time and poured 3x like you did. Came out great!
That's so awesome, thank you for sharing that! We're glad this was helpful. If you still want to make sure your bloom soaks all the grounds, feel free to give it a really good swirl after pouring the bloom!
I buy the cheapest store brand coffee already ground, I go heavier with the coffee because we like it strong. We use cheap generic filters, cheap dripper purchased at TJ Maxx. Everyone says it's delicious, has crema etc. My point is, this method of coffee is pretty foolproof. You can get great coffee, and I dont pay attention to how long it takes to drip thru. Still delicious 😋
Thanks for my first pour-over! It wasnt delicious but that wasn't because of your informative tips, overhead angles, and that satisfying slurp at 3:15 . I'll get better, and re-watch this video many times.
This comment is simply incredible. Glad the informative tips, overhead angles, and the slurp didn't take away from the experience. Thanks for sharing and best of luck!
You can do both. It's just a personal preference to brew into a carafe or serving vessel and then distribute it into a cup. Going directly into a cup is more convenient and efficient if you're drinking the whole cup!
If you're brewing a coffee that's in the light to medium roast, it should be off boiling 98 - 100c. For coffees that are darker, you can bring that down a few degrees
What is the general consensus if we're to do a circular motion while pouring or just plainly pouring in the middle? Read something that middle pouring is the best and that doing circulars will ruin the taste of the coffee?
We would recommend doing a circular motion although we have seen many people enjoy pours pouring in the middle. Doing circulars will definitely NOT ruin the taste of the coffee. That's often times actually what's preferred.
When i started to drink coffee i was very noobie, using those prepared cappuccino dust pods, just add milk/water and drink. Some time later without drinking idk why, is like gave me the impulse but decided to drink again so ordered a coffee maker, the one u pour water down then in the filter the coffee and put it in the worktop (i think its the word, im spanish) But for some months i've been thinking to buy one of these to those days that i have all the time i need no rush to make coffee with calm but something came to my mind. What if u run out of paper filters? U will need to order? U can find them in a shop?
Hey! Yes, you need to keep buying paper filters. If you buy a few packs of filters, that should last you a year or more so it shouldn't be that big of a problem
For the measurements, a 1:16 ratio of coffee to water is close to an industry standard. Of course, you can adjust that to preference and flavor. As for time, that comes from tasting many coffees and seeing where the sweet spot is. You can experiment with that yourself. Coffees running quicker than that usually tend to be on the brighter / sour side and coffees slower than that are usually bitter with and astringent mouth feel. Hope that helped you understand!
In this recipe, we're going 211F. Can't tell you the TDS since that can fluctuates depending on several factors. Also It wouldn't really help much since everyone is working with different equipment, water, and so on.
if i start off with 16g of coffee and 256g of water, at how many grams do i stop and swirl to wait for 10-15seconds? Thanks for the nice video sharing!
Thank you for the tutorial. Just one small question. Do you keep water temperature the same during all the process or you boil it once and it cools down while brewing?
Our kettle has its own heating pad and we usually set it back on there between pours. It doesn't do a whole lot but it's worth mentioning. It's not too big of a deal if you just let it cool down while brewing.
I just made and it tastes amazing also not too strong that makes your toes crawl 😂 i used to make it too strong n bitter and thought that it was the way it suppose to be.
Thank you for this simple yet informative video! I was trying to makey coffee for the first time while watching it but when I poured the water on the coffee, there wasn't any bubbles, is that ok?
We were hoping it was simple and easy to understand. Not having bubbles is okay and to a certain extent good! It will also depend on coffee freshness. If a coffee is really fresh, you will get much more bubbling and inflation of the grounds!
Hmm that's a good question. You could throw it away or use it as fertilizer for your garden! There's probably more uses for used grounds on the internet
This is a great question and a difficult one. There's no easy answer for this since the V60 was meant to brew just one cup at a time. That being said, if you're brewing more coffee then yes, it will require a longer brew time. It may not be twice as long, but expect it to be fairly longer. A side pro tip, with higher coffee doses you might want to consider grinding coarser! Adjust to your taste preference for the best brew.
@@NiCo-87 With all things coffee, we need to consider how big cups are. Most of the time, those on coffee makers are much smaller than a traditional cup.
Hey Bryce! It's actually a small accessory that comes with the Fellow Stagg X brewer. We're not sure if you can buy it separately, but it really is neat!
You can double it indeed, but that will change your extraction time. For something like that, you'll have to use the tip we gave at the end to get it to taste just right in terms of extraction time.
Thank you! Great video! Just a thought, I'm a novice and if I had made that coffee I would have thought I had failed, because it looked so thin when you poured it. Of course it's the taste that matters, but has it to do with the kind of roast?
Thank you! Glad to hear you enjoyed it. Taste is always most important, and many people think that just because it's visually a little different then it must be bad. This will mostly be dependent on roast.
@@MirrorCoffeeRoasters Yes, thanks. It's harder than I thought to be consistent and find confidence. But sometimes I wonder if I'm just chasing a dragon. What am I after? How good can coffee get? But I've also realized that it's not only the end result that matters but also the preparation is enjoyable, the grinding, the scent and all the little details.
When should I stop my timer? It feels like most of the water goes pretty quick but it takes a long time for every last drop to go through like a leaky faucet
Good simple recipe, al litle weak for my taste, I think its just because I'm used to drinking espresso. Anyways will either add more coffe or just a less water
Hey, sorry for the late response! It helps give an even extraction to your brew as well as helping with the draw down time. You might end up noticing a little more of a flat, even bed to your grounds.
Yes, a gentle swirl would be beneficial. The bloom won't get all of the CO2 out, but something that might help is resting your coffee for about 2 weeks post roast.
Unfortunately there is no ratio of time per grams of coffee. Even the time in this video, for some coffees, can be different. For 12.5:200, I think somewhere around 2:30 might work? I'm not sure. You can do the same taste test we recommend at the end of this video to adjust the time for taste.
Hi Hannah! This is generally the same process. For the individual pours in this video, you might want to pour more water proportionally to your ending water yield. The time markers will also change so don't worry if it takes longer for the water to draw down since this a larger pour. In general, the concept and ratio can be scaled up to what you want. If your final brew is bitter, you can coarsen up the grind and if it's sour, you can make the grinds smaller. Feel free to ask any other questions if you need to. Enjoy!
When the grounds stick to the sides of the filter do you pour water on the sides to knock them back in the middle? Can't seem to get answer to this TIA
You don't necessarily need to, but you can. Depending on the coffee, sometimes your brew will choke meaning the drip down will slow down heavily and will take too long. In this case, having some grounds stuck to the side might help with keeping the flow going down. Other than that, it's not a huge problem for them to be stuck to the sides of the filter. Of course if you're getting an excessive amount, then yes.
@MirrorCoffeeRoasters ah ok I see yeah what happened is bloom wait add water then a crater in grounds form going to the bottom. I wasn't sure what correct approach was to it. I was a afraid of watering the coffee down.
I like my coffee scalding hot, but with the time it takes to do a pour over my coffee is just luke warm. I would even sacrifice some flavor for heat. Any tips to keeping is very hot?
If you're brewing a light roast, always brew off of boil. The other thing you can try is preheating your carafe you're brewing into with boiling water so that there's less heat loss. Lastly, find a good carafe that holds heat really well and brew into the carafe. As you enjoy your coffee, you can transfer the brew into your mug of choice.
Great question! You can rinse filter with room temp water and it will get you similar results. The benefits of rinsing the filter with preheated water is that you're also warming up your brewer which is beneficial to extraction! You're knocking both things out at once.
Water temperature? Temperature greatly affects draw down time. I've also seen that some paper filters are 'faster' than others. In general, what temperature do you recommend? Thanks
You're right! Those variables will affect your brew. For light roasted coffee, we'll brew right off boil. That will be different depending on your elevation, but for us in WA that's 212F. If you're brewing darker roasts, you can come down on the temperature 4-5 degrees or so.
I used to laugh at people who nerded out on coffee. Now I'm over here, taking notes like I'm going to be tested for a job.

When you do the first pour, what temperature is the water at? I know washing the filter initlaly would be at 100C.
If you're brewing a coffee that's in the light to medium roast, it should be off boiling 98 - 100c.
For coffees that are darker, you can bring that down a few degrees
Wow ✨ If may I ask, how many times can I use the same coffee ground? Can I again pour another hot water on it? Or is it just one time use?
Only use coffee grounds once.

Start as soon as you begin pouring

Hey! Yes, you need to keep buying paper filters. If you buy a few packs of filters, that should last you a year or more so it shouldn't be that big of a problem
Thank you. I feel so dumb. Ive been trying to brew a decent coffee for months ive been trying every maker i can find. Im excited to try this method
Hopefully this helped get the coffee you're looking for!
Thank you. Where did u get the time and grams computation? By just trial and error?
For the measurements, a 1:16 ratio of coffee to water is close to an industry standard. Of course, you can adjust that to preference and flavor.
As for time, that comes from tasting many coffees and seeing where the sweet spot is. You can experiment with that yourself. Coffees running quicker than that usually tend to be on the brighter / sour side and coffees slower than that are usually bitter with and astringent mouth feel.
Hope that helped you understand!
any tips on what i should add in? frothed milk and such?
We like to drink our coffee black, but anything you enjoy will work.
I heard that water temperature had an impact of how good the brewing is. That true? Since I took my water boiled but not above 100°C
Yes, temperature has a big impact on the brewing.
what's your exact temperature for you water? and TDS as well
In this recipe, we're going 211F.
Can't tell you the TDS since that can fluctuates depending on several factors. Also It wouldn't really help much since everyone is working with different equipment, water, and so on.
if i start off with 16g of coffee and 256g of water, at how many grams do i stop and swirl to wait for 10-15seconds? Thanks for the nice video sharing!
Hmm, I would guess at around 150g. Expect your total brew time to fairly less than what we recommend in this video.
@@MirrorCoffeeRoasters Thank you so much! Let me try it out :)
This video is a sure change my bad coffee cup to a better tasty cup, love it.
Happy to hear!
Thanks for this. Hopefully, with a few changes, I'll get a consistent cup of coffee
Best of luck!
thanks to this tutorial, my dad finally loves his pour-over coffee! hahahaha
This comment is everything!! Amazing haha
Thank you for the tutorial. Just one small question. Do you keep water temperature the same during all the process or you boil it once and it cools down while brewing?
Our kettle has its own heating pad and we usually set it back on there between pours. It doesn't do a whole lot but it's worth mentioning.
It's not too big of a deal if you just let it cool down while brewing.
Just curious how many tbsp of coffee grounds to ounces of water would you recommend for times when I don’t have a scale and grinder
This guy is special ed using a food scale. Just use your normal amount of coffee and water (1-2tbsp and 1-2 cups of water) and pour as he does
I just made and it tastes amazing also not too strong that makes your toes crawl 😂 i used to make it too strong n bitter and thought that it was the way it suppose to be.
So strong your toes crawl haha. Have not yet experienced that, and not sure if I want to.
Glad to hear you're enjoying your coffee!
Thank you for this simple yet informative video! I was trying to makey coffee for the first time while watching it but when I poured the water on the coffee, there wasn't any bubbles, is that ok?
We were hoping it was simple and easy to understand. Not having bubbles is okay and to a certain extent good! It will also depend on coffee freshness. If a coffee is really fresh, you will get much more bubbling and inflation of the grounds!
Excellent video. I'm learning how to do this.
Best of luck! Let us know if you have any questions
So I have this confusion 🤔 what do u do with the coffee left in the filter? U just throw it?
Hmm that's a good question. You could throw it away or use it as fertilizer for your garden! There's probably more uses for used grounds on the internet
Such a great, informative and simple video. thank you for that !!
So glad to hear this was informative and helpful. Thanks for watching and hope you got some delicious results from this!
Nice I'll have to try this my pour over always tastes like crap
Best of luck! Hopefully this helps. If you need any help improving it, feel free to send us a message on Instagram or email us!
If you want to make two cups of coffee (40g coffee/640 g water) do you need to double the brew time too? Or does that remain the same?
This is a great question and a difficult one. There's no easy answer for this since the V60 was meant to brew just one cup at a time. That being said, if you're brewing more coffee then yes, it will require a longer brew time. It may not be twice as long, but expect it to be fairly longer.
A side pro tip, with higher coffee doses you might want to consider grinding coarser! Adjust to your taste preference for the best brew.
@@MirrorCoffeeRoasters One cup at a time? But the box on my Hario V60 said "1 to 4 cups"…🤷🏻♂️
@@NiCo-87 With all things coffee, we need to consider how big cups are. Most of the time, those on coffee makers are much smaller than a traditional cup.
...I used to drink peasant 711 coffee, and now look at me ma....sipping the finest brew. Catuay Rojo and Laurinia babyyyyyy
Happy for you
Thank you for this amazing detailed video!
Thank you for watching!
Hey man, Random one what little black measuring cup did you use to measure the beans…. Love it
Hey Bryce! It's actually a small accessory that comes with the Fellow Stagg X brewer. We're not sure if you can buy it separately, but it really is neat!
@@MirrorCoffeeRoasters awesome thanks for sharing it really does lionlike decent little accessory.
How does it work with 2 cups of coffee? Should you just double the amount of coffee and extraction time?
You can double it indeed, but that will change your extraction time. For something like that, you'll have to use the tip we gave at the end to get it to taste just right in terms of extraction time.
Thank you! Great video! Just a thought, I'm a novice and if I had made that coffee I would have thought I had failed, because it looked so thin when you poured it. Of course it's the taste that matters, but has it to do with the kind of roast?
Thank you! Glad to hear you enjoyed it. Taste is always most important, and many people think that just because it's visually a little different then it must be bad. This will mostly be dependent on roast.
@@MirrorCoffeeRoasters Yes, thanks. It's harder than I thought to be consistent and find confidence. But sometimes I wonder if I'm just chasing a dragon. What am I after? How good can coffee get? But I've also realized that it's not only the end result that matters but also the preparation is enjoyable, the grinding, the scent and all the little details.
When do you start the timer when you start pouring the initial poor or when the initial part is done and you’re waiting 30 seconds
You can start the timer and then begin your first pour.
Hello, which coffee filter do you recommend? Thanks from New York City!😊
Hario has some great filters. We're using the ones with the tab on the filter.
@@MirrorCoffeeRoasters thanks 😊
@@hepsiprem No problem!
for the bloom, do you pour 50 grams THEN wait 30 seconds before the second pour or is it 30 seconds for the pour and bloom combined ?
Yes, you do the bloom, pour 50 grams, then wait 30s
Thanks, this actually really made a difference in the taste for me! ❤
Happy to hear!
When should I stop my timer? It feels like most of the water goes pretty quick but it takes a long time for every last drop to go through like a leaky faucet
Once you see the bed of coffee and there's no water sitting on top, you can stop the time
Good simple recipe, al litle weak for my taste, I think its just because I'm used to drinking espresso. Anyways will either add more coffe or just a less water
You could definitely adjust to preference!
Did you wet the filter 1st? I’m new to this.
Yes, rinse the filter first before putting coffee in.
No worries! Feel free to reach out with any questions you may have, we'd be happy to help.
@@MirrorCoffeeRoasters Cheers, great vid 👌
Video was so pleasing and relaxing, I had to watch it twice because I forgot to follow along haha
Thanks for the tips!
Wow, this is incredible. Might be one of our favorite comments on this video yet!
Can you technically pre-grind your coffee, and then measure the pre-ground grinds? I wanna bring this for camping but I'd rather pre-grind my beans.
Yes, that should work just fine.
Great video thank you! question, what effect does it have on the brew by letting the second pour drain 10-15 seconds?
Hey, sorry for the late response! It helps give an even extraction to your brew as well as helping with the draw down time. You might end up noticing a little more of a flat, even bed to your grounds.
Awesome, thank you!!
i always think that the bloom doesnt get rid of all the co2. shouldnt we always swirl when blooming?
Yes, a gentle swirl would be beneficial. The bloom won't get all of the CO2 out, but something that might help is resting your coffee for about 2 weeks post roast.
How much time/mins if i will lessen my coffee?
12.5:200 instead of 20:320? Was there a ration of time per grams of coffee?
Unfortunately there is no ratio of time per grams of coffee. Even the time in this video, for some coffees, can be different.
For 12.5:200, I think somewhere around 2:30 might work? I'm not sure.
You can do the same taste test we recommend at the end of this video to adjust the time for taste.
Is this same process possible for a larger brew with a pour over? Or does anything change?
Hi Hannah! This is generally the same process. For the individual pours in this video, you might want to pour more water proportionally to your ending water yield.
The time markers will also change so don't worry if it takes longer for the water to draw down since this a larger pour.
In general, the concept and ratio can be scaled up to what you want. If your final brew is bitter, you can coarsen up the grind and if it's sour, you can make the grinds smaller.
Feel free to ask any other questions if you need to. Enjoy!
Simple and direct to the point. Thanks.
That was exactly what we wanted! Enjoy
The best tutorial so far!! Thank god I found your video
Thank you for sharing that!
How many tablespoon is 20 grams?
Try using a scale, it helps
When the grounds stick to the sides of the filter do you pour water on the sides to knock them back in the middle? Can't seem to get answer to this TIA
You don't necessarily need to, but you can.
Depending on the coffee, sometimes your brew will choke meaning the drip down will slow down heavily and will take too long. In this case, having some grounds stuck to the side might help with keeping the flow going down.
Other than that, it's not a huge problem for them to be stuck to the sides of the filter. Of course if you're getting an excessive amount, then yes.
@MirrorCoffeeRoasters ah ok I see yeah what happened is bloom wait add water then a crater in grounds form going to the bottom. I wasn't sure what correct approach was to it. I was a afraid of watering the coffee down.
I like my coffee scalding hot, but with the time it takes to do a pour over my coffee is just luke warm. I would even sacrifice some flavor for heat. Any tips to keeping is very hot?
If you're brewing a light roast, always brew off of boil. The other thing you can try is preheating your carafe you're brewing into with boiling water so that there's less heat loss.
Lastly, find a good carafe that holds heat really well and brew into the carafe. As you enjoy your coffee, you can transfer the brew into your mug of choice.
I actually brew straight into a 12 oz miir flip traveler. It's the perfect size and it keeps it very hot for a long time.
Quick question, What do you mean when you say target time? I don’t understand
By target time, we mean what we're aiming for in terms of how long the brewing will take. How long it takes to brew is a very important variable!
@@MirrorCoffeeRoasters HEY! Thanks you for explaining!!
Is it really noticeably better to rinse the filter with preheated water or can you just use cold or room temp water?
Great question! You can rinse filter with room temp water and it will get you similar results.
The benefits of rinsing the filter with preheated water is that you're also warming up your brewer which is beneficial to extraction! You're knocking both things out at once.
When do u start the timer to see how long ur coffee takes to drip (like which step)
You start it right before you begin pouring in the beginning!
Thank you for helping me make a good cup of coffee!
No problem! Glad this was helpful!
Does the 320gm include the weight of the V60 cup and coffee puck?
No, it doesn't include that. You just want to measure the added water
You're from Jacksonville FL?!? I'm a regular at Bold Bean when I visit, I love that place.
I lived in Jacksonville for quite some time, and now relocated to Bellingham, WA. Bold Bean is a solid spot to hit!
Water temperature? Temperature greatly affects draw down time. I've also seen that some paper filters are 'faster' than others. In general, what temperature do you recommend? Thanks
You're right! Those variables will affect your brew. For light roasted coffee, we'll brew right off boil. That will be different depending on your elevation, but for us in WA that's 212F. If you're brewing darker roasts, you can come down on the temperature 4-5 degrees or so.
