Hi, BucinCoffee. The V60 allows for precise control over grind size, which directly affects extraction. For lighter, more floral beans, a coarser grind can help prevent over-extraction, while a finer grind can be beneficial for bolder, darker beans. Experimenting with grind size is key to showcasing the nuances of each variety. The initial blooming phase is crucial. By using slightly more water during this phase (around double the weight of the coffee), you allow gases to escape and enhance the flavor extraction. Adjusting this step can help emphasize specific notes, particularly in fresh, high-quality beans. How quickly you pour the water over the coffee grounds can significantly influence the flavor profile. A slower pour allows for more extraction, while a faster pour can yield a cleaner cup. Depending on the bean’s characteristics, adjusting your pour technique can highlight different flavor notes.

The ideal water temperature for brewing coffee is generally between 90-96°C (195-205°F). If the water is too hot, it can extract bitter compounds, while water that’s too cool might result in a sour or under-extracted cup. Fluctuations in water temperature can lead to inconsistent extraction, which affects the overall flavor. Maintaining a consistent temperature ensures that each part of the coffee is extracted evenly. To achieve this, preheating the V60 and your brewing vessel can help maintain temperature stability throughout the brewing process. Apart from the above, this article has a lot of useful tips in my opinion.
