Spiral Pulses

V60 02 V60 by Intelligentsia Coffee

Intelligentsia Coffee's official V60 guide uses a bloom followed by staged spiral pulses, moving from the center outward. Its measured structure encourages uniform saturation and a sweet, articulate cup with polished acidity.

Notes

Use a 2:1 bloom-water-to-coffee ratio, then add water in 70-100g increments without pouring onto the paper. Let each pulse finish before the next. If the bed drains unevenly, tighten spiral coverage rather than adding a stir.
