How to make coffee using a filter dripper

In this short video, I show how I make coffee using a Hario V60 Filter Dripper.

What I used

• 340ml near boiling water

• 18g freshly ground coffee

Brew time: about 3 minutes

Yields: 300ml brewed coffee

Brewing Principles

• Brew with very hot water (just off boil ~206F / 97C)

• Use hot water to wash out the paper filter and heat up all brewing apparatuses just before starting

• Pre-wet the coffee with a small amount of water (about 1-2x the amount of ground coffee) and wait about 30 seconds

• Pour a light, steady stream of water

• Keep the coffee wet, and don't let the water level rise so that clumps of coffee are not left "high and dry" in the filter

Let us know what you think!
