Daily

by Lance Hedrick V60 02

Lance Hedrick's personal everyday V60 recipe — what he actually brews when he wants a delicious cup. A single bloom plus one steady main pour at a 1:16.7 ratio targets ~18% extraction and around 1.2 TDS for a tea-like, floral, nuanced cup that protects the complexity higher-extraction recipes lose.

    Bloom

    Pour 45g (3× the dose) at 6-8g/s. Laminar pour, no sputtering — just wet the bed evenly.

    Pour

    Pour to 250g cumulative. Relatively quick but not turbulent — roughly center, the bloom did the diffusion prep so agitation isn't doing the work here.

    +250g 25s Circular

    Done

    Drawdown complete. Target around 2:00; if the bed needed a second small bloom, expect closer to 2:30.

Notes

Hedrick's "low-extraction philosophy" V60 — the recipe he reaches for daily when not chasing high yield. He targets 1.1–1.3 TDS and 17–19% extraction; pleasant aromatic compounds peak in that range, while astringent and bitter notes heighten past 20%. Watch the bloom: after the bloom pour, look at the bed surface. If it's wet and bubbly, you're set — pour the rest at 0:45. If it's dried and cracked, CO₂ is still trapped and could cause channeling on the main pour. Drop in an optional second small bloom (~20g) around 0:40, then pour the rest around 1:30. Bloom pour rate around 6-8g/s — smooth and steady, just wetting the whole bed without disturbing it. The main pour does the real extraction work — every drop matters, so a properly degassed bed is the prerequisite. Pour relatively quickly to 250g but without aggressive turbulence — the long bloom did the diffusion prep. Ceramic works fine for thermal stability; no need for plastic + preheat. For higher strength or extraction, drop the ratio to 1:15 or go finer; for even more delicacy, push to 1:18.
