Widely recognized around the world, the Hario V60 pour over.
Why the cone shape? The cone shaped paper filter adds depth to the coffee layer, so that the water flows to the center, extending the amount of time it is in contact with the ground coffee.
The Hario V60 pour-over coffee dripper received the Good Design Award in 2007. This award recognizes the dripper's unique design and its ability to produce a high-quality, flavorful cup of coffee. The V60's conical shape, large single opening, and spiral ribs are key features that contribute to its distinct brewing process and the award-winning design.
Features:
With the shape of a cone, the layers of coffee grounds become thick vertically. The cone-shaped dripper lets hot water flow toward the center, allowing it to stay in contact with the coffee grounds longer and ensuring a proper extraction of taste and aromatic constituents from the coffee grounds.
When grounds are saturated, the high ribs do not hinder their expansion and a layer of air the dripper. The twisted ribs prevent the paper and the dripper from sticking, let the air through and allow the grounds to expand adequately. This promotes a smooth extraction.
A large hole is made in the bottom of the dripper. This makes the tip of paper protrude through the hole, allowing the hot water, unrestricted by the dripper, to perform extraction closer to that of cloth filter. By changing the speed of pouring, you can brew coffee with your preferred taste, stronger or lighter.
How To Use:
Fold the paper filter along the seams and place inside the dripper. Add coffee grounds (medium-fine grind) for your required servings and shake it lightly to level. 10-12g is for one serving (120mL ). Using fresh ground coffee is recommended.
Pour water slowly to moisten the grounds, from the center outward, while moving in a circular pattern. Wait for about 30 seconds.
Slowly start adding more water using the same speed and swirling motion as before, making sure the water does not come into direct contact with the paper filter. Brewing time should be within 3 minutes.
