Learn the step-by-step process to brew pour over coffee using the Hario V60 Glass Dripper with Olive Wood, including tips for grind size, water temperature, and pouring technique.
Quick Answer
Start by placing a paper filter in the V60 dripper, rinsing it with hot water, then adding medium-fine ground coffee and pouring water in a slow, circular motion for a balanced extraction.
Why the V60 Glass Dripper with Olive Wood Stands Out
The Hario V60 Glass Coffee Dripper with Olive Wood combines the iconic conical design with a natural wood collar that adds grip and visual warmth. The glass body is heatproof and lets you monitor the brew, while the spiral ridges inside the cone promote even extraction by allowing water to flow through the coffee bed without clogging.
Step-by-Step Brewing Guide
- 1. Prepare the Filter and Dripper: Place the V60 dripper on your mug or carafe. Insert a V60 paper filter and fold the seam flat. Rinse the filter with hot water to remove paper taste and preheat the dripper. Discard the rinse water. Skipping the rinse can leave a papery taste in your coffee and lower the brew temperature.
- 2. Add Coffee Grounds: Add 15 grams of coffee (about 2 tablespoons) ground to a medium-fine consistency—similar to table salt. Gently shake the dripper to level the grounds. Using too fine a grind can clog the filter and over-extract, making the coffee bitter.
- 3. Bloom the Coffee: Pour 30 grams of water (just off the boil, around 200°F / 93°C) evenly over the grounds. Wait 30-45 seconds until the coffee stops bubbling. This releases trapped CO₂ for even extraction. A short bloom time under 20 seconds may cause uneven extraction; a bloom over 60 seconds can cool the slurry too much.
- 4. Main Pour: Slowly pour the remaining 210 grams of water in a steady spiral from the center outward, avoiding the filter edge. Pause between pours to let the water level drop halfway. Total brew time should be 2.5 to 3 minutes. Pouring too fast or too close to the edge can cause channeling and a weak, watery cup.
- 5. Serve and Enjoy: Once the water has fully passed through, remove the dripper and swirl the carafe to mix the brew. Pour into your cup and enjoy immediately. Letting the coffee sit in the carafe too long can cause over-extraction and bitterness.
Product Details
- V60 Glass Coffee Dripper - Olive Wood: The V60's conical shape allows for deeper layering of coffee grounds, and its spiral ridges and lack of flow restriction allow the user to pour water quickly for a delicate body, or slowly for a heavier flavor. This means you can adjust your pouring speed to control the strength and mouthfeel of your coffee without needing extra equipment.
