The V60, named after its distinctive V-shaped design with a 60° angle, is a popular pour-over coffee method developed in Japan by Hario. This brewing method emphasizes precision and control, resulting in a clean, bright, and aromatic cup that highlights the coffee’s unique flavor notes.
Fun Fact
The V60’s spiral ridges and large single hole were specifically designed to give coffee enthusiasts greater control over brewing variables like flow rate and extraction time.
Preparation Recipe
15-18g medium-ground coffee
250-300ml water at 90-96°C (194-205°F)
Preparation Techniques
Use a gooseneck kettle for precise water pouring.
