Two-Stage
by Quality Life Coffee for Hario V60 NEO 02 original source (qualitylife.coffee)
Quality Life Coffee's V60 Neo guide divides extraction by pour style: an assertive first stage develops aroma and acidity, then a calm center pour draws sweetness. It targets a balanced cup while limiting late astringency.
Before you start
You need
- Hario V60 NEO 02
- Scale
- Water at 92 °C (198 °F)
Notes from Quality Life Coffee
Grind medium-fine, roughly table-salt sized and a little finer than for a standard V60. Use 93°C (199.4°F) for light roasts or 90°C (194°F) for dark roasts. If the finish dries, soften the second-stage stream rather than weakening the opening agitation.
