Features of V60 hand washing filter bowl

With the V60 hand brew bowl, you can control many variable factors in the coffee making process at will, and its adjustability is much higher than any drip coffee machine or coffee pot on the market. The high performance of the V60 comes from three main features of its own design:

1. The four walls of the filter bowl are inclined at an angle of 60°, which makes it easier for water to flow to the center of the filter bowl and increases the contact time between coffee powder and water;

2. The filter bowl has only one outlet, which allows the user to adjust the taste of the coffee by controlling the water flow rate;

3. Filter bowl four walls spiral ridge neatly arranged to maximize squeeze excess air, ensure uniform distribution of coffee powder.

The two main factors that the user can control during coffee brewing are the fineness of the grind and the speed of water flow. If you pour more slowly, the coffee will taste richer; if you pour too fast, the coffee will taste flat and thin.

The fineness of the grind also affects the taste of the coffee. If the coffee powder is ground more finely, the water will filter the coffee powder slower.

Combining the above two factors, we have summarized the following rules:

1. Uniform flow + fine grinding = moderate body

2. Slow flow + fine grinding = full body

3. Constant flow + medium grind = light taste

4. Slow flow + medium grind = lighter taste

It should be noted that coffee powder grinding can not be too fine, otherwise it will lead to water outlet blockage.

How to use the V60 hand rinse bowl like an expert

V60 hand washing bowl can give users great imagination and play space, you just need to remember the following basic steps, and then be free to combine.

Before making coffee, you need to prepare:

1. Boil high-quality water to 90-96℃ (if no thermometer, just wait patiently for 30-45 seconds after the water boils);

2. Fold the filter paper from the seam;

3. Wet filter paper and bowl with hot water. This process not only removes paper smell, but also preheats it. Note: If this step is skipped, the cold coffee powder will be exposed to hot water instantaneously, resulting in insufficient extraction.
