V60 beginner tips (sopuli.xyz)

I got myself a V60 (along with the honker kettle) in order to finally enjoy lighter roasts. I already have a timemore grinder and a mid range lelit espresso machine so I just wanted something to cleanse my palate and explore more varieties of coffees.

Currently I use the 15g coffee in, 5 pours ending with total of 250g over 3 minutes. I have modified the method to have more sweetness by pouring more water on second pour than rest. Pouring in a spiral motion going from center.

What are some other must know tips and core logic? What changes the flavor and what doesn't?

The bloom is essential for recently roasted beans. It allows the CO2 to off gas. You want the CO2 to properly off gas because the water cannot enter the grounds if the gas is try to escape. I believe Lance Ledrik (Youtube guy) uses a 2 minute bloom. I have bloomed beans twice if they were very very recently roasted (within a week).

It is somewhat science based. Some good info there to be had.

Even a broken clock can be right twice a day I suppose. I will definitely try it and see how it works.
