Stirred for Two

V60 02 V60 by James Hoffmann

James Hoffmann's Ultimate V60 Technique is scaled for 2 count cups, preserving its swirled bloom, paired main pours, and final agitation. A grind on the finer end of medium draws clean sweetness from the deeper bed, yielding a clear, evenly developed shared brew.

Notes

Swirl the bloom only until no dry pockets remain, then keep both main pours smooth and controlled. Use opposing gentle stirs and a final swirl to settle a flat bed. If the larger batch runs long and tastes dry, coarsen before reducing agitation.
