Easy Effective

V60 02 V60 by Lance Hedrick

Lance Hedrick's Easy and Effective V60 method uses 4 count pours and a controlled spin after each to maintain a flat, evenly extracted bed. High heat and a medium-fine grind favor clarity, vibrant acidity, and strong sweetness.

Notes

Form a loose spiral divot without compressing the dry bed, then spin just enough after each pour to level the slurry. Use 99°C for light coffee; lower heat for darker roasts. If fines stall the drawdown, reduce spin force before grinding coarser.
