Best Coffees for V60 at Adams + Russell
So let’s dive right in. In no particular order:
Kenya Coffee Beans – Peaberry
With Kenya Blue Mountain, the quality is derived from the high elevated growing regions.
Rich volcanic soils, consistent temperatures, and good rainfall. The coffee is wet processed to ensure the best quality and carefully graded.
That’s why it’s great as a morning coffee, and exceptional in a V60 drip, or Chemex pour over. Enjoy black to allow the nippy acidity to really tickle the taste buds.
Colombia Cafe Sofia
This coffee releases a rich, dark chocolate flavour on the pallet, and the reduced acidity adds to the smoothing taste. A slight almond hint is noticeable, with a clean body perfect in a V60 or Chemex.
Release the fantastic flavours of this bean exclusively at Adams + Russell. Available in beans or ground and always fresh!
Are beans or ground best for your V60 coffee maker?
Do you have a coffee grinder? If so, we usually recommend buying coffee beans rather than ground coffee, that way they will stay fresh for longer and when you come to use them with your V60 you will be sure to extract those special flavours.
If you buy the ground coffee then only buy the small bags 227g. If you open a 1kg bag of coffee and it takes a while to finish, it may become bitter before you know it.
So it’s fairly simple and shouldn’t take you long to decide. Here’s a couple more grinding tips.
Which grind size is best for a V60 drip method?
Try to find a consistent grind which works for you. And if your drip is taking too long, you may need to grind your beans a bit coarser.
Grind your coffee last.
That way, you will keep the freshness packed into the bean until you’re ready to brew.
