Chad Wang of Taiwan won the 2017 World Brewers Cup with a strikingly simple ceramic V60 — and a contrarian twist: he skips pre-warming the brewer, making that the quiet secret of his formula. Over 15g of a Ninety Plus Panama Gesha and 250g at 92°C (1:16.7), a 30-second bloom is followed by a single continuous pour in the center, draining in about 2:00. The slightly higher 15g dose widens the margin for error and fills the cup.
