Body-First

V60 02 V60 by Rikuto Tanaka

Rikuto Tanaka's four-pour V60 for a washed Colombian Geisha — Buena Vista — brewed "the way he'd brew it." He chases body over a thin, tea-like cup: a water temperature a touch below boiling and a slightly finer grind thicken the mouthfeel while keeping the Geisha's floral clarity. A concentrated 1:15.4 ratio in a fast 2:30 total.

Notes

Aim for body, not a light tea-like drink. If the cup reads thin and watery, drop the water temperature a touch and grind a hair finer for a thicker mouthfeel — that shift matters more here than chasing a longer contact time. The tight 65g/L ratio keeps it concentrated, and the pours are fast pulses — a quick addition, then a wait — for the whole brew to land around 2:30.
