In this episode, Kenneth is once again joined by Arsalan Pourmand and Marc Chiusano of Flux Coffee. Last week they looked in-depth at a flat-bottomed brewer - the Kalita Wave. This time they give you the skinny on the Hario V60 dripper, which is a cone brewer.
They discuss the pros and cons of this iconic dripper and explain how to get the very best out of it. They cover the Hario assist, which filter is best, pour direction, share their Hario V60 recipes, and recommend two great coffees for you to use.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• The Hario V60 is the gold-standard conical dripper and is available in a range of materials.
• The plastic version offers excellent heat retention and is not going to break.
• The Hario V60 has clockwise spirals which factor into the brewing process.
• If you are having problems with your pour, consider changing the type of filter you use.
• With the V60, how high you hold the kettle when pouring makes a big difference.
