Frequently asked questions
What grind size should I use for V60?
Use a medium to coarse grind. Similar to the texture of table salt. If your coffee tastes sour or weak, try grinding finer. If it’s bitter or harsh, grind coarser.
Why does my V60 brew too fast or too slow?
Brew speed is mostly influenced by grind size and pouring technique. A fast brew (i.e below 2 minutes) often means your grind is too coarse or you’re pouring too aggressively. A slow brew (i.e. above 3 minutes) usually means a too-fine grind or coffee clogging the filter. Adapt your grind size in small steps until you reach the desired brew time.
Should I rinse the filter paper before brewing?
Yes. Rinsing the filter helps remove paper taste and preheats the dripper. Discard the rinse water before adding coffee.
