Hario V60 Filter 02 - Glass

The Hario V60 is probably the most used hand filter in the coffee universe and rightly so. It is easy to use and yet offers a steep learning curve with many opportunities for experimentation. Practical on the V60: we and many other roasters offer standard recipes for the V60. So re-brewing is pretty easy.

The V60 is particularly suitable for coffee quantities between 15 and 30 grams of coffee powder.

Product features of the Hario V60 02

• The actual filter is made entirely of glass, while the base is made of plastic. We also sell the Hario V60 filter made of porcelain in size 02 ( click ).
• Thanks to the base, the filter can be placed directly on a cup or a suitable jug, such as the glass jug from Trendglas Jena . However, the attachment is made in such a way that air can escape from the jug at any time. With many filters (Chemex as an example) the air cannot escape easily and this stops the water from dripping.
• V60 have a 60 degree angled conical shape. The conical shape creates a deeper coffee bed, which ensures more even extraction than cylindrical filters with smaller amounts of coffee powder (up to 30 grams of coffee). If we change the amount of coffee with a conical filter like the V60, the brewing behavior differs less than with hand filters like the Kalita with a flat base.
• The filter has built-in drainage ridges on the edge, which allow the brewing water and water to drain off to the side. This means that fines (smallest coffee particles) can be collected in many places on the filter and it is unlikely that the filter will become clogged.
• The correct filter size is Hario 02. To the filter papers ( click ).
• The hand filter is dishwasher safe.
• The processed plastic and glass are heat-resistant up to 120 degrees Celsius.
• There are a variety of different filter papers from different manufacturers, which gives plenty of room for experimentation.
• The glass V60 is thermally stable, but absorbs a lot of the temperature of the brewing water - even if it has been preheated. That's why a high brewing temperature of 96 to 99 degrees makes sense for filter coffees. For darker coffees, lower temperatures should be used.

Standard recipe with the V60 glass for filter coffee

1. Fold the paper coffee filter at the folded tab and place it in the V60. Place on the pot or cup.
2. Rinse with hot water to remove the papery taste and preheat the filter.
3. Grind the desired amount of coffee between 15g and 30g. Grind approximately so that the coffee powder feels like cane sugar. The amount of water can then be calculated in a ratio of 1:16. 15 grams of coffee * 16 = 240 ml of brewing water to be dispensed. Benjamin brews 18 grams with 300 ml of water as standard, i.e. 6 grams of coffee powder per 100 ml of water.
4. To do this, pour the amount of coffee into the filter and place the coffee filter with the jug on a scale.
5. Add approximately three times the amount of coffee powder used to water at a temperature of approximately 98 degrees. With 18 grams of coffee powder used, this means approx. 50 - 60 grams of water. What is more important than the amount of water is that the coffee powder is completely covered with water.
6. Remove the filter from the pot and swirl it around so that the water really soaks all of the coffee powder.
7. After approx. 30 - 40 seconds, starting from the center of the powder, pour in a circular motion until approx. half of the total amount of water (e.g. 150 ml) has been poured in.
8. When most of the water has drained away, add the remaining amount of water again in a circular motion. Then swivel again so that the coffee powder comes off the side walls of the filter.
9. With 18 grams of coffee powder used, the water should drip through in 2:10 to 2:50.
