]]> The V60 pour-over method is the best way to highlight the complex flavors and delicate aromatics of a high-quality, small-batch roast. It gives you incredible control, resulting in a cup that is clean, bright, and perfectly balanced.

Here is Indigo Coffee Co.’s essential 5-minute guide to mastering the V60 at home.

☕ What You’ll Need

  • Coffee: 20g of medium-ground Indigo Coffee Co. beans (just slightly finer than sea salt).
  • Water: 300g (or ml) of fresh water heated to 200°F (93°C).
  • Equipment: V60 dripper, paper filter, and a digital scale.

4 Simple Steps to Perfection

  1. Rinse and Preheat (0:00 – 0:30): Place your filter in the V60 and set it on your mug/server on the scale. Pour a small amount of hot water over the filter to preheat the equipment and remove any paper taste. Discard the rinse water.
  2. The Bloom (0:30 – 1:00): Add the 20g of grounds to the V60 and tare the scale to zero. Pour about 40g of water (twice the weight of the coffee) evenly over the grounds. Let it sit for 30 seconds; this allows the coffee to “bloom” or release carbon dioxide, preparing it for the full extraction.
  3. The Main Pour (1:00 – 2:30): Begin pouring slowly and consistently, spiraling outward from the center, working your way up to 200g total water weight. Be careful not to pour directly onto the filter paper.
  4. The Final Pour (2:30 – 3:15): Complete your pour up to the final 300g mark. Your total brew time should ideally fall between 3:00 and 3:30 minutes. Remove the V60 and enjoy your perfectly extracted, bright cup!
