James Hoffmann's Ultimate V60, scaled to 30g coffee and 500g soft water at 97°C (1:16.6). After a 60g bloom and a gentle swirl to wet every ground, reach 60% of the water by 1:15, then finish gently. A late spoon stir plus a final swirl keep the coffee bed flat and grounds suspended, so water drains evenly instead of channeling — the trick behind its clean, forgiving, repeatable cup.
