How To Brew: V60 Pour Over
Brew Guides
Made by Hario, the V60 pour over offers a wide variety of styles, materials and colours. It’s an easy to use and a highly customisable and satisfying method of making coffee.
The V60 will reward the meticulous barista as it is so highly sensitive to changes in technique.
Manual pour over in general can be highly inconsistent so achieving predictable results comes not only from being precise but also from having the right tools.
For high quality consistent brews, we would recommend a temperature controlled kettle with a gooseneck spout, clean filtered water and a set of scales.

- 14g medium grind coffee
- 250g filtered water heated to 90-96°C (plus more for rinsing)
