How To Make Pour-Over Coffee with a Hario Dripper

Hey guys , this is Will from tested .

I'm here today to talk about , well , pour over brewing .

This is the drip kettle and it's kind of neat because it has this really long neck .

I'll show you why .

That's awesome .

In a minute .

We also have the V 60 which is a dripper pour over type device .

Basically , you put a paper filter in here and dump some coffee and put this on your mug and uh well , coffee .

Let's get right to it and I will show you how it is done .

OK ?

So the first thing I've done is weighed 24 g of coffee .

I put in my Vladimir Putin mug just gonna dump this in here .

Well , grind it up .

So the thing that makes the Mario V 60 special is this , this hole in the bottom allows you to use a pointy filter instead of a straight edge bottom filter .

So what I'm going to do is get the filter ready to go and the pour over device the V 60 .

And I'm going to do that by actually folding the seam of the filter .

We did this for the Chex as well .

You want to get it as close to the edge as you can .

It doesn't really matter if you mess it up a little bit and then I'm going to drop the filter right into the top .

Try to get it popped open .

It's not going to stay open real well .

But I'm , I'm going to run some water through the filter and that will help stick it to the edge .

It helps get a little bit of the paper , taste out of the filter .

If it folds in , no big deal , don't worry about that .

But you want to get the filter nice and wet and this will also serves the benefit of heating up your mug and the pour over cone as well .

I'm going to actually dump this into my Vladimir Putin mug .

If you want , you can lift the cone out a little bit .

People say to do this , I don't think it makes a whole lot of difference .

The goal , of course , as you're doing this is to try to get the water to run through the coffee and not down the edges of the cone .

So I'm going to do is make a little tiny .

Well , it doesn't have to be a big one .

I'm going to let the water cool down .

Ideally , boiling water is 212 °F .

You really want this to be 202 5 .

And what we're going to do first is wet the coffee .

So I'm going to pour about an ounce of coffee in here .

And this is where you see the beautiful thing about the hair kettle , it's balanced so that you can just rest it and it , and it pours ever so gently .

You get really good control over the water as it goes into the cone .

Some people let the coffee stay moisture up for 45 45 50 seconds .

I go a little bit faster but you should experiment and see what you like .

And you can see the gasses are pouring up here on the top and we're getting a nice little dome on our grounds , which is going to make a nice tasty cup of coffee .

You want to stay off the edges of the filter with the water and really have good control over that .

And you also don't want to fill too much water into the , into the pot at one time , into the cone at one time .

You really want to keep the cap of the water as low as you can , the top of the water level , as low as you can .

About half .

You can , of course , put this on a rack .

You can put it on a coffee pot , but you want to keep an eye on it .

So you don't actually over spill and make an enormous mess when you're making coffee this way .

And the neat thing about the pour over is you can make as much coffee or as little as you want with this .

If you just want to make a cup , you can make a cup .

If you want to make more , you can make more .

Um , I've even made whole pots with this before and that worked reasonably well .

I'm going to call that a cup and it's , uh , time to enjoy some coffee .

So , how did I do , Chen ?

Let me , let me test this .

I brought my own work .

That's , that's pretty good .

Coffee .

Does have a very sharp aftertaste .

The thing about this ?

The catch with the , is it , how much do you think this kettle cost $20 ?

That's a good best .

It's made of aluminum , I think .

Maybe stainless steel .

It's very light .

It feels kind of flimsy , almost like it's made of tin .

It is 60 bucks .

Yeah .

The reason it's 60 bucks is because you can really fine control the amount of pouring , you know , you can turn it on and off .

That's a fancy pore .

It's , you know , you can get all over the place .
