V60 03 V60 by James Hoffmann

James Hoffmann's Ultimate V60 Technique is enlarged for the V60-03, retaining a fully saturated bloom and 2 count controlled main pours. It aims for an evenly extracted multi-cup brew with high clarity, sweetness, and repeatability.

Notes

Make a shallow well before blooming, then swirl only enough to eliminate dry pockets. Keep the main pours controlled so the larger bed does not clog, and use a final gentle swirl to flatten it. Coarsen the grind if the long batch drawdown brings dryness.
