Understanding Flavor: How Adjustments Change Your Cup

Every variable you control has a direct impact on the final flavor. Here's how you can use the V60 to dial in a specific taste profile:

To increase sweetness and body: Use a slightly finer grind. This will lengthen the contact time, allowing more sugars and lipids to be extracted.

To increase clarity and brightness (acidity): Use a slightly coarser grind and a faster pour. This will favor the extraction of acids and early aromatics, resulting in a cleaner, more delicate cup.

For a more balanced and rounded flavor: Stick closely to the recommended 1:16 ratio and medium-fine grind. Focus on a consistent pour to ensure even extraction across all the coffee grounds.
