Equipment: V60 Brewer | Acaia Scales | Feature Coffee Subscription

The V60 brewer gives you full control over ratio, grind size, water temperature, agitation, and flowrate, making it an ideal method for brewers who enjoy experimenting and refining their technique. It highlights subtle flavours, nuanced acidity and aromatics, especially in lighter-roasted, washed or fruit forward coffees. Its accessible design also makes it suitable for beginners, while offering enough precision and room for creativity for experienced brewers.

"The V60's cone shape creates a deeper coffee bed, which makes pouring technique particularly important. Pour slowly and evenly, aiming to keep the bed level throughout the brew for greater clarity and balance in the cup."

Stephen Gray, Head of Coffee

• Both the filter paper and coffee grounds are suitable for home composting. 
• If your coffee takes longer than 3:30 minutes to brew, make your grind setting coarser; if it is less than 2:00 minutes, make your grind setting finer. 
• When pouring, avoid hitting the walls of the brewer directly to avoid chanelling and promote even brewing across the coffee bed. 
• The V60 is a versatile filter coffee brewer that is great for experimentation. Subtle tweaks to grind, water temperature, bloom time and dosage can create notable flavour changes. 
• The adaptability means that you can brew any coffee using the V60, but it has great capability in highlighting brightness, clarity, and more subtle flavour notes often found in light and medium roast coffee.
