FAQ
Common questions about brewing V60.
What is the V60 coffee to water ratio?
15g of coffee to 250g of water — a 1:16.7 ratio. Scaled up: 60g per litre. This is a good starting point; adjust slightly finer or coarser grind to taste.
How long does a V60 take to brew?
About 3 minutes from first pour to drawdown. Each of the three active steps (bloom, first pour, second pour) runs for 45 seconds. The final drawdown takes a further 45 seconds. Total: 3 minutes.
What water temperature for V60?
93°C — roughly 30 seconds off a boiling kettle. Higher than AeroPress (85°C) because V60's pour-over flow cools the water slightly during extraction.
