2. Setup

Before brewing, proper placement of the filter is crucial for optimal coffee extraction.

1. Prepare the Filter: Take one HARIO V60 Size 02 paper filter from the package. The filter has a seam along one side and across the bottom. Fold the filter along these seams to ensure it sits correctly in the dripper.
2. Place in Dripper: Carefully place the folded filter into your HARIO V60 Size 02 pour-over coffee dripper. Ensure the filter sits snugly against the walls of the dripper.
3. Rinse the Filter: Before adding coffee grounds, rinse the paper filter with hot water. This step helps to remove any paper taste and preheats the dripper, contributing to a more consistent brew temperature. Discard the rinse water before proceeding.

3. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for brewing coffee using the HARIO V60 paper filter:

1. Add Coffee Grounds: After rinsing the filter and discarding the water, add your desired amount of freshly ground coffee to the filter. Ensure the grounds are evenly distributed.
2. Begin Pouring: Slowly pour hot water over the coffee grounds, starting from the center and moving outwards in a circular motion. Aim for an even saturation of all grounds.
3. Maintain Flow: Continue pouring water in a controlled manner, maintaining a consistent flow to achieve your desired brew volume. The cone shape of the filter and dripper, combined with the paper's properties, facilitates optimal extraction.
4. Serve: Once brewing is complete, remove the dripper and filter. The brewed coffee is ready to serve.

4. Maintenance

HARIO V60 paper filters are designed for single use and require minimal maintenance.

• Disposal: After brewing, carefully remove the used filter with coffee grounds from the dripper and dispose of it in an appropriate waste receptacle.
• Storage: Store unused filters in their original packaging in a cool, dry place to maintain their integrity and prevent absorption of odors.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues during the brewing process, consider the following:

• Slow Drip: If the water drains too slowly, ensure the filter is properly seated in the dripper and not obstructing the flow. Adjusting coffee grind size to be slightly coarser may also help.
• Paper Taste: A slight paper taste can occur if the filter is not adequately rinsed before brewing. Always pre-rinse the filter with hot water to eliminate this.
• Filter Collapse: Ensure the filter is correctly folded along its seams and placed firmly in the dripper to prevent it from collapsing during brewing.
