Hario V60 Ultimate Guide
World Champion Recipe | Interactive | Virtual Scale
Why is this V60 recipe the best?
This recipe is a modified version of Tetsu Kasuya's 4:6 Method (2016 World Champion), combined with James Hoffmann's theories. Compared to a continuous single pour, this "5-Pour Method" gives the coffee bed enough time to breathe, making it easier to replicate consistent flavors at home.
🌀 Key Feature: Spiral Ribs
The V60's spiral ribs allow air to escape, meaning the flow rate is fast. If you don't pour in spirals, water tends to bypass the coffee bed. In the widget above, you'll see the kettle moving in spirals to ensure even saturation.
