Extraction Concept

This recipe aims to simplify extraction by reducing the processes (variables) in the extraction process so that anyone can make delicious coffee.

What you need

・Purified water or soft mineral water

・HARIO V60 dripper, paper filter (preferably bleached)

・Coffee server or cups

・Coffee kettle

A coffee scale, smartphone timer, or kitchen scale

·thermometer

Recipe (light roast)

Ratio: Coffee powder/water = 1:15-1:16

- Place the dripper, paper, and powder in the server.

・First pour: Start the timer. At the same time, pour in 20% of the total amount of hot water (95℃-90℃).

・After pouring, spin lightly and let it steam for 40 to 45 seconds.

・Second pour: Pour the remaining amount in a circular motion, then spin lightly at the end.

Wait until the coffee has completely dripped (2 to 3 minutes), then remove the dripper and stir to complete the extraction.

Spin: Hold the bottom of the dripper and gently shake the whole server in a circular motion. This is to ensure that all the grounds in the dripper are evenly exposed to the hot water.

Basically, to adjust the taste and concentration, first try changing the mesh (particle size) of the powder (adjust so that it falls completely in 2-3 minutes), then try changing the water temperature (light roasts are generally extracted at high temperatures). Start by grinding the powder finely, and if it feels too powdery or prickly, gradually make it coarser.

Please rinse (running coffee equipment or paper through hot water) if the equipment is extremely cold, as this will lower the temperature inside the dripper and affect the extraction.

The more processes there are in brewing coffee, the more variables there are, resulting in a different taste each time. At THE WORD COFFEE, we strive to reduce these variables as much as possible and to simplify brewing so that even beginners can brew consistently delicious coffee. Use this recipe as a base, make some adjustments, and find the 100-point coffee that tastes best to you.
