“It's a 300ml carafe we're pouring into (aiming for around 220ml in the final cup)”

Get your water boiling again. This is an easy way to make sure your water is at the right temperature—there's no messing about with temperature gauges or settings, you just need to make sure your water is boiling.
we worked this out · Get Brewing section — water is described as boiling with no standing time, indicating 100 °C
2:30
“After a minute, pour the final 80g in aiming for a complete drawdown in around 2 ½ minutes.”
the creator said this · Get Brewing section — 2½ minutes = 150 s, stated as the target drawdown time

given this is a V60 pourover style coffee, any filter labelled 'V60' or 'pourover' will do—just make sure they fold out like a cone

How they brew it
- Filter
Kinto / V60 cone paper filter
“If you've bought our Kinto Brew Kit you'll already have some Kinto filters—but given this is a V60 pourover style coffee, any filter labelled 'V60' or 'pourover' will do—just make sure they fold out like a cone.”
the creator said this · Pre-Brew Set Up section
- Filter rinsed first
Yes
“once it's boiled rinse out the filter while it's sitting in the brewer—this will remove any 'paper' flavour from the filter, and pre-warm your carafe or mug”
the creator said this · Pre-Brew Set Up section
What it makes
- Style
clarity
given this is a V60 pourover style coffee
