V60 Recipe
Preparation
Preheat your kettle to 96 degrees with filtered water and while your kettle boils, weigh and grind your coffee and set aside.
Fold your filter paper along its seam and place within V60 dripper. Sit the dripper on top of your vessel (cup or server) and place on top of your scales.
Once boiled, pour water over the filter paper to get rid of any unwanted paper residue and to heat your brewing vessel. Discard the water left in the vessel.
Add your coffee to the dripper, giving the cone a light shake to ensure a flat bed of ground coffee.
Tare off your scales and you're ready to go!

Start your timer and evenly pour 30ml of hot water over the coffee, I like to move the kettle in a small circular motion, working my way from inside to out, ensuring the grinds are fully saturated.
You will start to see bubbles in the saturated coffee, this is the blooming process and will make for an even extraction and enhance those lovely, sweet flavours. Allow to sit for 30-35 seconds.
00:30
After 30 seconds pour 100g of water to a total of 150g, using the same gentle motion as you did during the bloom.
1:30
Start your second pour with the remaining 150ml of water using the same technique as the last. Let the water run completely through the coffee and filter paper until drained.

Enjoy your coffee!
Espresso
Domestic espresso recipe (using a Breville Bambino)
Whole Beans: Best within four to six weeks of roasting. Properly stored beans can last up to eight weeks if stored right.
Ground Coffee: Best within one to two weeks after grinding.
The best method is an opaque, airtight container stored in a cool, dark place at room temperature. The back of the pantry is the perfect spot!
In the bag is fine if there is a valve and you’ll use it in the next two weeks. If storing for any longer, transfer coffee from its bag to an airtight jar for better protection against air and light.
Freezing coffee can extend its freshness if stored correctly. Ensure the beans are in airtight portions and only defrost what you need.
Freezing won’t ruin the flavour if the beans are properly sealed. Exposure to moisture and air, however, can degrade their taste.
