James Hoffmann's "Better 1 Cup V60 Technique"

James Hoffmann’s Better 1-Cup V60 is a simple adjustment to his classic V60 method, designed specifically for brewing smaller amounts of coffee. By using a slightly higher coffee dose and a controlled series of pours, the recipe helps maintain good extraction and balance.

The method focuses on a solid bloom, steady circular pours, and a gentle swirl to keep the coffee bed even. The result is a clean, well-extracted cup with good sweetness and clarity, making it a reliable approach when you want a single V60 that still tastes full and balanced.
