☕ How to Brew Coffee with a V60 (1:16 Ratio) ☕

What You'll Need:

• V60 Dripper
• V60 paper filter
• Freshly ground coffee Black Diamond Coffee
  (medium-fine grind, like sea salt)
• Hot water (just off boil, around
  200°F / 93°C)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prep the Filter

• Place your V60 setup on a scale
  and tare to zero.
  

3. Bloom (Start the Brew)

• Start your timer.
• 40–50g of water to evenly saturate the coffee grounds.
• 30–45 seconds to release CO₂ and enhance flavor.
  

4. Continue Pouring

• Slowly pour the remaining water
  in a circular motion, staying centered.
• Add water in small stages or a
  continuous steady pour until you reach 320g.
• 2:00–2:30 minutes.
  

5. Let It Drain

• Allow the brew to fully drain
  through the filter.
• 2:45 to 3:15 minutes.

  a swirl, and enjoy a smooth, flavorful cup!
