How to Brew — Filter Coffee

The HARIO x Allpress V60 is an opportunity to slow down and appreciate the beautiful flavour and unique design of this timeless brew method.

A slow, gravity-driven brewing process that gently extracts nuanced flavour into your cup, filter is the perfect way to experience specialty coffee.

What you'll need

  • 25g (about 5tbsp) of freshly ground coffee

  • 400ml of boiled water

  • Pour over dripper (we think the HARIO x Allpress V60 is pretty neat)

  • Filter papers

  • Your favourite mug/server

Step One

Place a paper filter inside your dripper and set it on top of your server — rinse with boiled water. This removes any papery flavour, ensuring your brew tastes its best.

Give your server an extra swirl to heat it up, then discard all the water that has drained through.

Step Two

Add 25g of freshly ground coffee into your dripper. Settle the grinds evenly by gently tapping the side of your dripper.

Wet the coffee evenly with 50ml of hot water and wait 30 seconds for the coffee to ‘bloom’. This preps the coffee for brewing and ensures an even extraction.

Step Three

After 30 seconds, slowly pour water directly onto the bed of coffee until you are 2cm from the top.

As the coffee brews through to the server, continue to pour slowly in small circles, covering the coffee grinds evenly. Try to keep the brew height 2cm from the top until you've poured the entire 400ml of water.

This entire process should take about three and a half minutes. Avoid pouring onto the same spot, and don't let the water flow touch the side of the paper filter where possible — this can result in channelling and a disappointing brew!

Step Four

Sip and enjoy.
