As long as they are coffee fans, everyone knows the name "hario". This is a heat-resistant glass product manufacturer that has planned and developed a large number of coffee utensils since its inception. The name "hario" comes from the homonym "King of Glass", which means "King of Glass". The company aims to bring customers an elegant embellishment and a new sense of satisfaction in daily life, adhering to the concept of "truth, goodness, beauty and happiness", and is committed to providing more products full of dreams.

A good cup of coffee, in addition to the conditions of the coffee bean itself, the way of extraction can be said to be the most important essence. All kinds of new hand filter cups appear on the market every year, but the V60 filter cup produced by hario in Japan is invincible in the market and has long been used as a business brewing in most coffee shops. V60 is also considered to be one of the coffee filter cups that can extract the perfect flavor.

What makes the V60 filter cup stand out among the many coffee filter cups? Let the editor introduce you to hario V60!

Hario, which designed the V60 filter cup (the following will be directly known as Hario), was founded in Tokyo, Japan in 1921. At first, it mainly sold physical and chemical glass products. After 30 years of research, hario glass was produced. Hario glass is a heat-resistant glass made of 100% natural minerals. Then, in 1949, the siphon coffee maker was first introduced with a glass filter, and by 1957 the product had evolved into a cloth filter.

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

Compared with other filter pots, V60 is better.

The V60, which can compete with other filter pots, mainly has three major elements:

Cone (60 °angle): this brings the water to the center and prolongs the contact time between the water and the coffee.

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

The shape of the helix: the shape of these spirals extends all the way from the bottom to the top, so that the air can escape smoothly, while greatly increasing the contact area of coffee grounds with air and water.

So what kind of coffee you want to brew depends on the size of the coffee grinding and the flow of water. If you add water slowly, you will get a strong cup of coffee. On the contrary, if you add water quickly, you will get a lighter coffee.

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

Continuous addition of water + fine coffee powder = medium-full-bodied coffee slowly added water + fine coffee powder = continuous injection of strong coffee water + medium-sized coffee powder = light coffee

Remember that if you grind your coffee too fine, the space of the coffee powder will be too small during the brewing process, and the space will be too narrow, so that the air can not pass smoothly, which will lead to excessive steaming of the coffee powder. when you find such a problem, grind it a little thicker!

Learn the skill of an expert: how to make delicious coffee like an expert

With V60, you can make any coffee you want by following the following basic steps.

Boil the water until the high temperature is 90 °95 °C. If you don't have a thermometer, wait for the water to boil and pour it into the hand punch and wait for 30 minutes and 45 seconds. )

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

Thoroughly wash the filter cup with hot water, this method can maintain the filter cup temperature, especially in cold places, the brewing temperature will not instantly drop from 92 degrees to 85 degrees C, making it more suitable for brewing coffee. 4. Grind the coffee beans you need and you can start!

The more important thing is to inject water

Because of the conical shape of V60, you need a small pot (left) or crane mouth pot (right) to control the amount of water you pour, otherwise it will be very difficult to control the flow when drawing a circle. (editor: this is really important! )

Start pouring water, then make it blossom on your V60 filter cup. Wait for 30-45 seconds, and then pour the water in a circle. You can see that the degree of coffee grinding and the flow of water will affect the overall time, and the ideal time should be controlled at about 3-4 minutes.

Tips on V60 filter cup

Using a V60 filter cup will not block unless you grind the coffee powder too fine. Its water flow is fast, so you can compare the V60 with other products.

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

Draw a circle counterclockwise and fill it with water, which will make the water on the coffee bed so that it can make better coffee.
