There's nothing quite like a fresh cup of coffee in the morning. Our favorite brewing method at Round Mountain is the classic, V60 pour over. Follow our fool-proof steps for the perfect morning brew!
Here’s what you’ll need:
- 27g of your favorite ground coffee beans (we recommend our Ethiopia roast)
- Hario V60 filter & filter papers
- Decanter
- Kettle
- Scale
- Your favorite mug
Step 1:
Fill your Kettle with 2 cups of filtered water and bring to a boil. While your water heats up, grind 27g of your favorite beans. Set aside.
Pro tip: Your coffee grinds should have a similar consistency as kosher sea salt.
Step 2:
Fold your filter paper along the crease and set it in the V60 coffee dripper.
Pro tip: pre-soak the paper filter to avoid any papery taste in your coffee!
Step 3:
Place your fresh ground coffee in the filter & saturate them with 50-80g of water. This process is commonly referred to as the “bloom” and takes approximately 30 seconds.
Pro tip: make sure you have an even bed, this will make it easier for all of the grounds to be evenly saturated and yield and smoother cup of coffee.
Step 4:
There will be a total of 4 pours in 80g increments. Your first pour will yield 160g. The second will yield 240 g. The third will yield 320g. The fourth will yield 400g.
Pro tip: Pour your water in concentric circles, going from the center of the filter to the outside.
Step 5:
Once all of the water has filtered through your grounds, enjoy!
