If you are a coffee-lover, if you like technically difficult tasks, and if you like control, maybe you'd enjoy this method. Which method produces a smooth-tasting brew, lessening the potential bitterness of the beans? The difference in taste is stark - po...
1g coffee : 15g water (just a guideline) I usually play around with the ratio a lot, depending on whether I need a stronger hit of caffeine, or if the beans used are a lighter roast or darker roast. For example, if we have a strong Liberico coffee, we can...

The V60 is my favourite too and if I am not late in the morning, Iβd make a big flask of coffee with this method. I suspect the V60 is the habit of very productive and efficient people - it means having to wake up with sufficient time to do as planned, mu...
