Recipe summary

60g of coffee for 1l of water That is 15g of coffee for 250ml Grind size a little finer than what you think especially for lighter roasts

Preheating is quite important. Plastic works better for heat retention However comment under suggested some advices for ceramic and glass which doesn’t involve too much water, like putting the V60 over the kettle while heating up, or even better put the V60 with the rinsed paper filter in the microwave for about 20s

Pour “pulsed” technique: 0:00: Pour 50g of water to bloom 0:10 - 0:15: Gently Swirl 0:00 - 0:45: Bloom 0:45 - 1:00: Pour up to 100g total 1:00 - 1:10: Pause 1:10 - 1:20: Pour up to 150g total 1:20 - 1:30: Pause 1:30 - 1:40: Pour up to 200g total 1:40 - 1:50: Pause 1:50 - 2:00: Pour up to 250g total

I try various 1 cup recipes from time to time and I still wind up back on this one.

i put the ceramic v60 as soaking wet as i can get it into the microwave for 2 minutes to preheat :D

I usually pour some boiling water just enough to rinse the paper but I guess I’ve was under-heating the thing for all this time? How hot is it supposed to get?

theres no prescription here. but i go for "hot as i can get it by boiling off the water i can get to rest on it by then microwaving it". for me thats a good tradeoff in time, effort, and energy/water waste. no clue if it really helps the brewing that much but it stands to reason that the ceramic does steal some heat if its room temp. i do it right before. brewing. i also freeze my cup, so the resulting coffee winds up being perfect drinking temp right away after its done brewing xD

Today I discovered that the Hario V60 match perfectly the hole of the Hario kettle, so I could take huge advantage of the heat rising from the kettle while it was in the stove. I also put a espresso plate over it to trap the heat but I guess that’s unnecessary

Water that's boiling is 100 degrees C, as long as you're reasonably close to sea level. Boiling it longer doesn't make it hotter. If you want super critical water, you need to microwave it in a very smooth container. Please be warned that this is incredibly dangerous as s.c. water can cause horrific burns as it will boil and overflow when you try to pour it. It also doesn't make good coffee, it over extracts.

yeah, this happens for me when microwaving water in clean glass container. not pleasant, it goes off like a bomb in there. have mitigated it by putting a wood stick in the water, but later learned to just measure the water carefully and run the microwave only as long as needed.

5 pours seems excessive.
