Osmotic Flow

V60 02 V60 by Hario

Hario's source demonstrates the Japanese osmotic-flow style, using an exceptionally slow center pour while holding water barely above the coffee bed. Minimal disturbance encourages a concentrated, rounded cup with sweetness and gentle clarity.

Notes

Use a gooseneck kettle that can sustain a very thin stream and aim only at the center. Keep the water level just above the bed without flooding or exposing it; kettle control matters more than circular coverage. If the cup becomes harsh, ease the flow and coarsen slightly rather than widening the pour.
