- 12 Daily byLance Hedrick Lance Hedrick's personal everyday V60 recipe — what he actually brews when he wants a delicious cup. A single bloom plus one steady main pour at a 1:16.7 ratio targets ~18% extraction and around 1.2 TDS for a tea-like, floral, nuanced cup that protects the complexity higher-extraction recipes lose. V60 02 Ratio 1:16.7 Time 2:00
- 13 Ice After byLance Hedrick Lance Hedrick's flash brew approach to iced coffee — brew hot like a normal V60 at 1:12, then add the ice after drawdown to flash-chill in the decanter. Unlike Japanese-style iced (where ~40% of the water is ice in the server), the full 240g hits the bed at brewing temp, so extraction is unconstrained and the cup comes out crisp, floral, sweet and fruity rather than under-extracted. V60 02 Ratio 1:12 Time 2:50
