Preparation steps
01 • Prepare and preheat brewing equipment
0:00Insert paper filter into the V60 cone and rinse thoroughly with 150 ml hot water to eliminate paper taste and preheat the glass carafe. Discard rinse water.
Observations and deviations: to be logged in lab trial.
02 • Add ground coffee and inspect grind consistency
0:15Dose 15 g of medium-fine coffee onto the digital scale. Gently shake to level the bed and form a subtle central indentation for even saturation.
Observations and deviations: to be logged in lab trial.
03 • Execute pre-infusion bloom and record response
0:45Gently pour 45 g of water at 92 °C outward in slow spirals. Allow 45 seconds for degassing to ensure maximum solubles yield.
Observations and deviations: to be logged in lab trial.
04 • Complete laminar pour and observe drawdown
2:45Pour continuously in controlled circles up to 250 g total by 1:45. Allow natural gravitational drawdown to finish between 2:30 and 2:45.
Observations and deviations: to be logged in lab trial.
Required equipment
Laboratory recommendations
- Use soft mineral brew water (70–120 ppm) to enhance delicate aromatic notes.
- If drawdown exceeds 3:00 minutes, coarsen the grind slightly to prevent astringency.
