1. Prepare Your Server: Place the HARIO VDP-02CP V60 Copper Dripper securely on top of your chosen coffee server or mug. Ensure it sits stably.
2. Insert Paper Filter: Fold the V60 paper filter along its seam and place it inside the dripper.

4. Bedryfsinstruksies

Achieving optimal coffee extraction with the V60 dripper requires attention to detail in your pouring technique.

1. Bloei: Start by pouring a small amount of hot water (approximately twice the weight of your coffee grounds) evenly over the grounds. Allow the coffee to "bloom" for 30-45 seconds. This allows gases to escape, preparing the grounds for optimal extraction.
2. Continuous Pour: After the bloom, continue pouring hot water in a slow, steady, circular motion, starting from the center and moving outwards, then back to the center. Avoid pouring directly onto the filter paper. Maintain a consistent water level.
3. Total Brew Time: Aim for a total brew time of approximately 2:30 to 3:30 minutes for a balanced extraction, depending on your coffee quantity and grind size.
4. Remove Dripper: Once all the water has passed through, carefully remove the dripper from your server or mug. Be aware that the copper dripper and its brass handle may become hot during brewing.

5. Sorg en Onderhoud

Proper care will ensure the longevity and performance of your HARIO VDP-02CP V60 Copper Dripper.

• Slegs handwas: This dripper is not microwave or dishwasher safe. Always hand wash it with mild soap and warm water immediately after use.
• Droog: Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth to prevent water spots and maintain the copper's appearance.
• Patina: Over time, the copper may develop a natural patina, which is a characteristic of the material. This does not affect its functionality. If you prefer to restore its original shine, use a copper-specific cleaning solution according to its instructions.
• Hanteer sorg: The brass handle may also develop a patina. Clean with a brass-specific cleaner if desired.

6. Probleemoplossing

• Coffee Tastes Weak/Under-extracted:
  • Ensure your coffee grounds are not too coarse. A finer grind increases extraction.
  • Check your water temperature; it should be between 195-205°F (90-96°C).
  • Adjust your pouring speed to ensure adequate contact time between water and grounds.
• Coffee Tastes Bitter/Over-extracted:
  • Your coffee grounds might be too fine. Try a slightly coarser grind.
  • Reduce the total brew time by pouring slightly faster.
  • Maak seker dat die watertemperatuur nie te hoog is nie.
• Water Drains Too Slowly:
  • The coffee grind might be too fine, causing clogging.
  • Ensure the paper filter is properly seated and not blocking the drain hole.
