The reason for naming the device V60 is because it is made in the shape of the letter (V) and has a filtration angle of 60 degrees.
This tool shows the strength of the flavors and textures of the coffee. It is one of the best tools used to prepare filter coffee. It uses paper filters to filter the coffee. Inside the tool there are protrusions that allow drops of filtered coffee to pass through and also allow the expulsion of air and unwanted gases such as carbon dioxide gas acquired during the roasting of the coffee, and this gas is produced. Unpalatable taste in coffee.
The V60 funnel comes in different sizes, including:
- The first (01) / can be prepared from one to two cups of coffee
- The second (02) / can be prepared from one to four cups of coffee
- The third (03) / can prepare from one to six cups of coffee
The second size (02) is considered the most common by users
One of the most important factors affecting the success of an ideal extraction in the V60 tool is the degree of grinding of the coffee. The degree of grinding is usually medium, and also the equation used in preparing the coffee. The Ratio equation must be used in order for the coffee to be prepared in a professional manner.
The most common method of preparation
Weigh 22 grams of coffee and grind it to medium. Place the “V60” filter and put some hot water on the “V60” tool to wash the filter. Heat the tool a little before use and then pour it.
Then place the ground coffee on top of the filter, then moisten the first pour by pouring 44 ml of water evenly for 30 seconds, the second pour with 190 ml of water, then the third pour with 275 ml of water, and the fourth with 330 ml until the coffee extraction process is completed.
A simplified explanation of how to pour water
First application : Moisten from the inside to the ends with 44 ml and wait for 30 seconds
Second pouring : with a low flow from the inside to the edges, up to 190 ml
Third pouring : With a low flow, pour into the end rings up to 275 ml
Fourth pour : low flow, swirl around the middle, up to 330 ml
