How to make a delicious artisan Vietnamese Coffee using the V60 coffee dripper.

You’ll need:

• A V60 coffee dripper. Our quality ceramic VCC branded V60 is a great choice.

• Some V60 filter papers.

• Some delicious Vietnamese Coffee Co. Coffee.

• Your favourite coffee cup/glass. If you really want to go full hipster the little glass V60 servers are a nice touch.

• A gooseneck kettle, (the one with a long thin spout) is preferable. It really helps with your pouring technique but if you don’t have one you can use a normal kettle.

• A coffee scoop or spoon. 

• Coffee scales (optional). If you want consistent, repeatable quality brews investing in some coffee scales will make your life a whole lot easier.

1. Set your V60 on top of your cup or server.

2. Take a filter paper and fold it along the seam and shape it into a cone. Put the the paper cone into your V60 .

3. Rinse the filer paper by pouring hot water through it and in to your cup/ server. This important step ensures that your coffee does not have a “papery” flavour.

4. Once you have rinsed the paper tip out the excess water.

5. Place your delicious Vietnamese Coffee Co. coffee. grounds into the cone and gently shake flat. Use about 15g of ground coffee per 250ml cup.

6. Pour in 50g of hot water covering all the coffee to make it “bloom”. This step helps you get a cup of coffee full of flavour.

7. After 30 seconds pour in 100g of hot water. Pour in concentric circles starting in the middle and gradually working outwards. Try to pour just into the coffee itself, and not onto the sides of the filter paper. It can be tricky at first but it’s easy once you get the hang of it.

8. After 60 seconds pour in 50g more water, (using the same technique as above).

9. After 90 seconds add another 50g of hot water, swirling as you go.

10. Let it drip until all the water has passed through.

11. Remove your paper filter with the spent grounds and dispose of them in an environmentally way.

12. Lift off your V60.

13. Enjoy your delicious Vietnamese coffee!
