V 60 have you ever heard of it?

Dear coffee lovers, today we take you into the fascinating world of the V60, one of the most appreciated methods of coffee preparation by connoisseurs.
But what exactly is V60 and why should you consider adding it to your morning routine? Let’s find out together!

What is the V60?

The V60 is a type of drip coffee maker. It takes its name from its conical shape, which is characterised by a 60-degree angle.
This particular design is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also has a very specific function: to allow water to flow towards the center, prolonging contact with coffee and thus improving the extraction of aromas.

The story of the V60

Created in Japan, the V60 quickly became a favourite among baristas and coffee lovers around the world for its ability to produce a clean, clear and flavoursome coffee.

Its popularity has grown thanks to its ease of use and precision in preparing a fine coffee.

How does V60 work?

Using V60 may seem intimidating at first, but it is surprisingly simple.
Here are the main steps:
Heat the V60 and the paper filter with hot water. This not only cleans the filter, but also helps to maintain the temperature during extraction.
Add the ground coffee. The grind should be medium-fine, similar to that of caster sugar.
Pour in the hot water. Start with a 30-second ‘bloom’, which is a small pre-infusion to allow the coffee to release the gas and prepare for full extraction. Then continue adding water in concentric circles, without reaching the edge of the cone, until the desired amount is reached.

Why choose the V60?

The V60 is particularly appreciated for its ability to enhance the unique characteristics of coffee and its aromas.

Unlike other methods, such as the French press, the V60 filters out most of the oils and sediments, allowing us to enjoy an exceptionally clean and aromatic cup of coffee.
Tips to get the most out of your V60
Water: Always use fresh, filtered water to avoid unwanted aromas, preferably with a fixed residue between 80 and 120 mg/l.
Temperature: Water should be between 90 and 96 degrees Temperatures too high can burn the coffee, while those too low do not properly extract all the flavors.
Proportions: A good starting point is to use 60 grams of coffee per liter of water. In conclusion The V60 is not just a method of making coffee; it’s a ritual that celebrates care and attention to detail.
Time: the extraction time will be decisive for the success of a good coffee, should not be less than 2 minutes and not exceed 3 minutes for a complete extraction of 250 ml of coffee.
Time is crucial to assess whether the coffee grinding is correct, in the case of a coffee obtained in less than two minutes (under extract) we must refine the milling, a finer grain size compensates the seconds needed to get to 2 minutes and thirty seconds ( optimal time )

It’s ideal for anyone who wants to have complete control over coffee making and experience the endless variety and flavors that coffee can offer.
