V60 Coffee

Bean selection for the V60 is critical because this method's clean, transparent profile puts origin character front and center. The paper filter traps oils, so only dissolved flavor compounds remain in your cup — meaning terroir details are revealed with exceptional clarity.

The beans that shine brightest with a V60 are typically light-roasted, single-origin coffees. The floral and stone-fruit notes of Ethiopian Yirgacheffe, the bold berry acidity of Kenyan beans, the honey sweetness of Costa Rican coffee — all of these emerge with crystalline precision through the V60.

Grind size is the key to V60 success. Medium-fine (table salt consistency) is ideal. Too fine a grind extends brew time and introduces bitterness; too coarse allows water to pass too quickly, resulting in under-extraction. Your total brew time should fall between 2:30 and 3:30 — this is the best indicator of whether your grind size is dialed in correctly.
