Hario Corporation (hereinafter referred to as Hario), which designed the V60 filter cup, was founded in Tokyo, Japan in 1921. It mainly sold physical and chemical glass products at first. After 30 years of research, it produced Hario glass. Hario Glass is a heat-resistant glass made from 100% natural minerals. Siphon coffee pot glass filters were introduced in 1949 and evolved into cloth filters in 1957.

Hario has won numerous design awards since its inception, but it launched the V60 around 2000. The name V60 comes from its 60° angle and was initially made of ceramic and glass, then plastic, and finally copper as we see it today. It has good thermal conductivity and is better able to maintain heat, making coffee more delicious.

Compared to other filter pots: V60 hand-brewed coffee is superior

V60, which can compare other filter pots, mainly has three major elements:

Cone shape (60° angle): This enables the water to flow to the center and prolongs the contact time between water and coffee.

Single large hole: allows coffee to change the speed of water flow during brewing to change the taste.

Spiral shapes: These spiral shapes extend all the way from the bottom to the top, allowing air to escape smoothly and maximizing the contact area between coffee grounds and air and water.

So what kind of coffee you want to brew depends on the size of the coffee grind and the flow of water. If you add water slowly, you get a strong cup of coffee. Conversely, if you add water quickly, you'll get a lighter coffee.

The degree of grinding of ground coffee particles also affects coffee extraction, and the results are as follows:

Continuous addition of water + fine coffee powder = medium strong coffee slow addition of water + fine coffee powder = strong coffee continuous injection of water + medium coffee powder = light coffee

*** Remember--remember--if you grind coffee too fine will lead to the boiling process, coffee powder gap is too small will lead to stewing, space is too narrow, and let the air can not pass smoothly, will lead to coffee powder stewing excessive, when you find such a problem will grind it coarser bar!

Learn from the experts: how to make great coffee like an expert

With the V60, you can play as you like, just follow the basic steps below and you can make any coffee you want!

Boil water to a high temperature of 90--95 C. (If you don't have a thermometer, wait 30- 45 seconds for the water to boil and pour into a hand rinse.)

Fold the bottom of the filter paper suture inward, open the filter paper into a cone shape with the other hand and gently press it into the filter cup.

Rinse the filter cup thoroughly with hot water. This method can maintain the temperature of the filter cup, especially in cold places. The brewing temperature will not drop from 92 ° C to 85 ° C in an instant, making it more suitable for brewing coffee. 4. Grind the coffee beans you need and start!

Another important thing: water injection.

Because of the conical shape of the V60, you need a small mouth pot (left) or crane mouth pot (right) to control your pour volume, otherwise it will be very difficult to control the flow of water when drawing circles.

Start by pouring water, then pour it over your V60 filter cup and let it bloom. Wait 30- 45 seconds, then pour the water in a circle. You can see that the degree of coffee grinding and the flow of water affect the overall time, and the best control should be around 3-4 minutes.

V60 filter cup hand coffee tips

Use the V60 filter cup without clogging unless you grind the coffee too fine. The water flow is fast, so you can compare the V60 with other products.

V60 is divided into four different materials, considering preheating, you need to compare these four materials, such as ceramic preheating time will be longer than stainless steel, glass or plastic.

Draw a circle counterclockwise to inject water, which will make the water on the coffee bed and make it more able to brew better coffee.
