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 (medium to dark roast)

Ratio: Coffee powder/water = 1:15-1:17

Mesh (grind size) Medium roast = medium to medium coarse grind / Medium-dark roast to dark roast = medium coarse grind to coarse grind

Water temperature: 85℃ to 90℃

- 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.

・After pouring, spin lightly and let it steep for 45 seconds to 1 minute.

・Second pour: Again, pour 20% of the water in a circular motion from the center and wait 30 to 35 seconds.

・3rd pour: Pour the remaining water from the center to the outside, then from the outside to the center in a circular motion, then give it a light spin at the end.

- Wait until the coffee has completely dripped (2 to 3.5 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 (the finer the mesh, the higher the extraction efficiency and the more ingredients will be extracted. If you notice any impurities, adjust it coarser), then try changing the water temperature (the higher the temperature, the faster and more ingredients will be extracted. Lowering the temperature will decrease the extraction efficiency and change the ingredients extracted, generally making it milder).

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.

If transferring from the server to a cup, please warm the cup first.

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 and make small adjustments to find the 100-point coffee that tastes best to you.
