Equipment needed to brew the Hario v60 pulse pour brew recipe

This Hario v60 recipe is curtesy of Josh Williams, one of the hosts on the FilteredThoughts podcast and the Fellow Wormy World Champion 2020. In this recipe Josh uses a pulse pour technique of multiple smaller pours throughout the brew, which helps him increase the yields out of this medium to coarse grind without losing vibrancy or clarity.

Hario v60 Pulse Pour Over Brew Recipe

Josh Williams
A simple pour over recipe using the Hario v60 brewer. It divides the brew into five even "pulse" pours, which helps maintain the vibrancy and clarity in the coffee even while grinding fairly coarse.

  1. If I’m doing this recipe with 30g of coffee and 500 grams of water, would you still double the amount of water at each pulse? For example, would you bloom with 100g, and pour 100 at 30 seconds until you reach 500?

    • Yes, that would work. You could also break the four pulse pours into five or six though instead. Either way, I would keep the bloom stage to the ratio from this recipe to make sure the coffee grounds really get saturated during the bloom.
