After much trial and error, and some research into what seems to have worked for others, the following recipe has given the most consistent results. Keep in mind though that there is no single recipe and everyone’s palates are different. So the following should be used as a guideline and your experience should be dialed in with every coffee you try. Trust your taste buds and have some fun.

The V60 is an awesome brewing device. It allows full control over other brewing methods. It is also very easy to mess up. You have to keep constant watch as to how you pour, your grind size and your time.
