I liked this video. I make coffee every day in my office, and lately I’ve been using the V60. I generally use around 18-22g of coffee and pour ~300ml to yield 250ml of brewed coffee (~8oz). I had been grinding fine and trying to mimic the pour-wait-pour-wait style I’ve often seen used with Melitta pourovers, but it results in an over-extracted brew. This continuous pour style, and a grind just slightly coarser than what i’d been doing, has produced much better results in the cup.
