Step-by-Step Brewing with the V60 Pour Over Kettle
Step 1: Gather Your Tools
Before you start brewing, gather your coffee-making essentials. You'll need:

- A V60 dripper
- Coffee filters
- A scale
- A mug or carafe

Step 2: Boil Water
Fill your V60 kettle with fresh water. Turn on your stovetop and bring the water to a boil. The thermometer will help you achieve the perfect water temperature, ideally between 195°F and 205°F (90°C to 96°C).
Step 3: Prepare the Coffee Grounds
While your water is heating, grind your coffee beans to a medium-fine consistency. The general guideline is to use about 15 grams of coffee for every 250ml of water. Weigh your coffee using a scale to ensure precision.
Step 4: Rinse the Filter
Place the V60 dripper over your mug or carafe. Insert the coffee filter and pour some hot water over it to eliminate any paper taste and preheat your equipment. Discard the rinse water.
Step 5: Bloom the Coffee
Add your ground coffee to the filter. Gently pour a small amount of hot water over the coffee grounds to saturate them. Allow the coffee to bloom for about 30 seconds. This step releases carbon dioxide, which can affect the flavor.
Step 6: Begin Pouring
Starting at the center, pour the hot water in a slow, circular motion over the coffee grounds. Maintain a steady flow to extract the coffee evenly. Once you've poured the required amount of water, let the coffee drip through the filter completely.
Step 7: Enjoy Your Brew
Remove the dripper and give your coffee a gentle stir. Take a moment to appreciate the aroma before taking your first sip of your perfectly brewed coffee.
