4:6 Method

by Tetsu Kasuya

  • pour-over
  • v60
  • champ

The first 40% of the water sets the taste, the last 60% sets the strength. Move either without touching the grinder.

Before you start

  • Grind coarser than you think. The pours do the work
  • Preheat the V60 and decanter, rinse the filter, discard the water
  • Level the bed and zero the scale with everything on it
  • Pour in gentle spirals from the center, never onto the paper

Adjustments

Dose

Taste: how the first 40% splits
Body: how many pours the last 60% takes
Roast: sets the water temperature
