What can Hario's V60 system do?
The Hario V60 is one of the most popular methods of brewing pour over coffee. But what makes the system so special and how does it affect the taste of the coffee?
What is the Hario V60?
The V60 is an iconic coffee funnel with a 60-degree angle and spiral grooves inside. It is used with a paper filter and provides a controlled brew, with water flowing evenly through the coffee. The design was developed by Japanese manufacturer Hario, known for their quality coffee equipment.
How does the Hario V60 affect the taste?
The Hario V60 ensures a clean and well-balanced cup of coffee. Here are some of the most important factors:
-
Even extraction: The large hole at the bottom of the funnel allows water to flow freely, allowing the brewing time to be adjusted.
-
Optimized flow: The spiral grooves create an air layer between the filter and the funnel, providing a more uniform extraction.
-
The paper filter: Captures oils and microparticles, so the coffee is clear and aromatic – unlike, for example, a plunger pot, where the oils are retained.
Why choose the Hario V60?
The Hario V60 gives you full control over the brewing process, allowing you to experiment with grind size, water temperature and pouring technique. It is suitable for both beginners and experienced brewers who want to get the best out of their coffee beans.
If you want to brew coffee with more depth and clarity of flavor, the Hario V60 is a great choice – a simple but effective method for getting the most out of your beans.
