DRIP

Hario´s V60 is an invention by the Japanese glassware manufacturer.

With a large hole in the bottom and a 60 degree angle, the V60 gives perfect control over the extraction creating a wonderful coffee.

1. Setup -Place the V60 on the pitcher. Give a rinse with hot water in the paper to remove to taste then remove all rinsing water.

2. Grind -Grind the coffee beans to a medium setting. Then add the Ricardo + Orioli coffee to the drip and tare your scale for maximum accuracy.

3. Bloom -Start your timer and pour 30g of hot water to wet all the coffee. After that let it bloom calm for 30 seconds.

4. Pour -When you get to 30 seconds pour in 70g of water. Keep adding water in small pulses. Don’t let the waterbed dry and don’t go too high.

The ideal step is to pour 30-50g. Don’t forget to pour in circular motions and avoid the sides. Stick always to the inner ring.
