Hario V60 Brewing 101
The V60’s design uses spiral ribs and a wide structure to allow the coffee to pass evenly and quickly through the paper filter, creating a complex and well-balanced cup.
Brewing Details
We recommend about 1 gram of medium grind per every 13 – 15 grams of water. No scale? Not a problem. Use 2 level tablespoons of coffee for every 6 oz of water. Adjust the ratio until you find the right flavor balance.
Equipment
- Coffee
- Water

1
Grind your coffee.
Set your grinder to a medium-fine grind setting.
2
Boil your water.
Boil a bit more than you’ll need to brew your coffee (we’ll explain why in a moment).
3
Insert the Hario conical paper filter into the dripper.
4
Place your dripper over a mug or carafe.
5
Rinse your filter using the extra water you boiled and then discard the water.
6
Add your ground coffee into the filter.
7
Bloom your coffee (pour hot water so that it begins to bubble)
Make sure the water’s temperature is around 200 degrees F. Pour a few ounces of hot water into your filter and set a timer for 30 – 45 seconds.
8
Pour the rest of your water.
Continue to pour the rest of your water in a slow, circular pattern. Wait for your coffee to finish dripping.
9
Enjoy.
Clean Up
Simply remove and discard the filter and rinse your dripper, which is also dishwasher safe.
