What’s the ideal amount of coffee to brew with a Hario V60 (02 size)?
What’s the ideal amount of coffee to brew with a Hario V60 (02 size)? I usually use 20 grams at a 1:16 ratio and sometimes go up to 25 grams. Yesterday, I visited a coffee shop where the barista mentioned that he never brews more than 16–18 grams in a V60. According to him, using more coffee can increase extraction time and result in a bitter brew. He also said he always keeps his total brew time around three minutes. His coffee tasted clean and balanced—not bitter at all—though I felt the sweetness was a bit compromised.

Personally, I also often use 20 g - ratio 1:15/1:16 too. It all depends on the coffee being brewed. 💎 The truth is that there are no rules, but rather guidelines. The goal is experience. 🦜 The barista you mention, if he didn't mention anything about the grind and the coffee he was extracting, is not a REAL barista in my opinion, but probably someone who was told "this is how it's done" and he replicates the recipe by parroting the four concepts he learned. ☕️ Enjoy the moment and, before brewing, ask yourself what that small producer from who knows where in the world wanted to put in that coffee.

Making my daily extraction is definitely one of my best routine, but when I can harvest coffee with my own hands, it's a priceless experience. 👇Guess: where am I? (Listen to the sound will help)

Add your logo and share it with your customers. It could be a nice freebie to get a lead. DIY directly on Canva or, if you have trouble with graphics, write me and I will insert your logo and send you the printable PDF back
