V60 Brew Recipe

Coffee: 20 grams
Water: 300g / 94 degrees
Grind size: 800-950 um / medium coarse

Tetsu Kasuya’s 4:6 Method (Basic Recipe)

This pour-over method, created by 2016 World Brewers Cup Champion Tetsu Kasuya, divides the water into a 40% portion and a 60% portion.

Use 20g of medium-coarse ground coffee and 300g of water at 94°C.

  1. First Pour (Flavor): Pour 60g of water over the grounds. This is your bloom. Start the timer and wait until the coffee bed is nearly drained (approx 45 seconds).
  2. Second Pour (Flavor): Pour another 60g of water (cumulative 120g). This completes the 40% flavor portion. Wait until the bed is nearly drained (approx 1:30).(Tip: For sweeter coffee, use 50g then 70g for these first two pours.)
  3. Third Pour (Strength): Pour 60g of water (cumulative 180g). This is the first of the 60% strength portion. Wait until the bed is nearly drained (approx 2:15).
  4. Fourth Pour (Strength): Pour 60g of water (cumulative 240g). Wait until the bed is nearly drained (approx 2:45).
  5. Fifth Pour (Strength): Pour the final 60g of water (cumulative 300g).

The total brew should finish around 3:30.

Slöinge Kaffebrenneri

In the old railway hotel built by Augusta Nilsson in 1924, Anna and Daniel Eråker roast coffee by hand and welcome visitors to their roastery in the heart of Slöinge.

Since 2013, they’ve turned their curiosity for coffee’s journey into a craft built on quality, transparency, and sustainability. They roast each batch on a Diedrich IR-12 to bring out the beans’ natural sweetness and complexity, always choosing traceable and chemical-free coffee from farmers paid fairly for their work. In summer, the scent of freshly roasted coffee fills the air as the doors open to their café and coffee buffet, a place to slow down, learn, and taste what real coffee can be.

Which Christmas song plays on repeat in your roastery in December?
