Discover the UAE's curated V60 and pour over coffee collection — filter-roast specialty coffee, precision pour-over drippers, and the accessories that turn pour-over from a coffee ritual into a daily craft. PERCUP brings together filter-roasted beans from world-class roasters like THREE Coffee, Onyx Coffee Lab, La Cabra, Cult Coffee Roasters and Blue Tokai, alongside pour-over equipment from Fellow, Hario and other leading brewing brands.

Pour over is the brewing method of choice for specialty coffee — it strips away crema, oils and pressure, leaving only the bean's true character. A great V60 brew highlights the bright florals of an Ethiopian washed lot, the syrupy sweetness of a Colombian honey process, or the punchy fruit of an anaerobic natural. Done well, pour-over is the closest you'll get to tasting what the roaster intended.

What is V60 brewing?

The Hario V60 is a cone-shaped pour-over dripper with spiral ridges and a single large hole at the bottom. The "V" refers to its 60-degree angle. Invented in Japan in 2004, it became the global standard for specialty coffee pour-over because of how cleanly it extracts flavour — water flows freely through the coffee bed without restriction, producing a bright, clear cup that highlights origin character.

V60 brewing requires three things: filter-roasted coffee, a gooseneck kettle for controlled pouring, and patience. The standard recipe uses a 1:16 coffee-to-water ratio (about 15g coffee to 250g water), water at 93-96°C, and a total brew time of 2:30 to 3:30 minutes including bloom. Done right, V60 produces some of the cleanest, most flavour-forward coffee you can make at home.

How to brew the perfect V60

  • Step 1 — Heat water to 93-96°C. Use filtered water if your tap water is hard.
  • Step 2 — Rinse the filter with hot water (removes paper taste and pre-heats the dripper). Discard the rinse water.
  • Step 3 — Grind your coffee medium-fine (sea salt texture). Use 15g for a single cup.
  • Step 4 — Bloom: Pour 30-40g of water in a spiral and let the coffee degas for 30-45 seconds.
  • Step 5 — Continue pouring in slow concentric circles up to 250g total water over the next 60-90 seconds.
  • Step 6 — Let it drain completely. Total brew time should be 2:30 to 3:30 minutes.
  • Step 7 — Swirl & serve. Give the carafe a gentle swirl to mix layers and pour into a pre-warmed cup.

Best coffees for V60 & pour over

Pour-over highlights clarity, so the best V60 coffees are lighter-roasted single-origins with distinctive flavour profiles. The roasters on PERCUP develop dedicated Filter Roast versions of their best lots — slightly lighter than espresso roast to preserve acidity and nuance. Look for:

  • Ethiopian washed coffees for floral and citrus brightness (jasmine, bergamot, white peach)
  • Kenyan AA coffees for sparkling citrus and blackcurrant notes
  • Colombian honey & natural processed for syrupy sweetness and fruit-forward cups
  • Yemen, Panama Geisha & rare origins for once-a-week celebration brews
  • Anaerobic and experimental processed for wild fruit-bomb flavours

V60 vs Chemex vs Kalita — which dripper is right for you?

  • V60 (Hario): Cone-shaped, single large hole, fast flow. Best for highlighting acidity and clarity. Most popular dripper in specialty coffee. Requires more technique.
  • Chemex: Hourglass-shaped carafe with thick proprietary filters. Slower brew, cleaner body, more forgiving. Best for those who like a heavier, full-bodied filter cup.
  • Kalita Wave: Flat-bottom with three small holes. Very consistent brew, more forgiving than V60. Good middle ground.
  • Fellow Stagg [X]: Flat-bottom precision dripper. Designed for stability and consistency. Great for beginners and pros alike.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a V60 pour over? +

The Hario V60 is a cone-shaped pour-over coffee dripper invented in Japan in 2004. The 'V' refers to its 60-degree cone angle. It has spiral interior ridges and a single large hole at the bottom that allows water to flow freely through the coffee bed. The V60 produces a clean, bright, flavour-forward cup that highlights origin character — making it the dripper of choice for specialty coffee enthusiasts. It's used in coffee competitions worldwide and has become synonymous with quality pour-over brewing.

What coffee is best for V60 and pour over? +

Filter-roast coffee is best for V60 — slightly lighter than espresso roast to preserve acidity and origin character. Look for single-origin lights to medium roasts from Ethiopia, Kenya, Colombia, Panama and Yemen. Washed and honey processed coffees tend to highlight clarity and brightness; natural and anaerobic processed coffees give fruit-bomb intensity. Many specialty roasters (THREE Coffee, Onyx, La Cabra, Cult, Blue Tokai) develop dedicated Filter Roast versions of their best lots specifically for pour-over brewing.

What grind size should I use for V60? +

Medium-fine grind, similar to the texture of sea salt or coarse sand. If you grind too fine, the brew time will exceed 4 minutes and the cup will taste bitter and over-extracted. If you grind too coarse, the brew will finish under 2 minutes and the cup will taste sour and under-extracted. The standard target brew time for V60 is 2:30-3:30 for a 250g brew. If you don't have a grinder, order pre-ground coffee with 'Ground for Pour Over' selected — every PERCUP coffee that ships pour-over-ground is ground to the right specification.

What's the V60 coffee-to-water ratio? +

The standard V60 ratio is 1:16 by weight — 15g of coffee to 250g of water for a single cup. Adjust to taste: 1:15 (slightly stronger) or 1:17 (slightly weaker). For two cups use 25g coffee to 400g water. Use a kitchen scale for accuracy — measuring by volume (tablespoons, cups) is too imprecise for pour-over. Water temperature should be 93-96°C, and total brew time should be 2:30-3:30 minutes including a 30-45 second bloom.

How is V60 different from Chemex and Kalita? +

V60 is a cone dripper with one large hole — fast flow, requires technique, highlights acidity. Chemex is an hourglass carafe with thick proprietary filters — slow flow, heavy body, more forgiving. Kalita Wave is a flat-bottom dripper with three small holes — very consistent, more beginner-friendly. Fellow Stagg [X] is a modern flat-bottom precision dripper designed for stability. Each produces a different cup character: V60 = brightest and cleanest, Chemex = fullest body, Kalita = most consistent, Stagg = most precise. Most specialty coffee drinkers start with V60 or Stagg.

Do I need a gooseneck kettle for V60? +

Yes, a gooseneck kettle is essential for proper V60 brewing. The narrow spout gives you precise control over the pour speed and direction, which is critical for even extraction. A regular kettle will pour too quickly and unevenly, disturbing the coffee bed and producing a poorly extracted cup. Basic gooseneck kettles start around AED 100-150; temperature-controlled electric versions (Fellow Stagg EKG, Brewista, Hario Buono) are 600-1200+ AED but worth the investment if you brew daily. Browse our pour over kettle range in the brewing accessories collection.

Why is my V60 coffee bitter or sour? +

Bitter coffee means over-extraction — usually caused by grind too fine, water too hot, or brew time too long. Try grinding coarser, reducing water temperature to 92-94°C, or pouring faster. Sour coffee means under-extraction — usually caused by grind too coarse, water too cool, or brew time too short. Try grinding finer, increasing water temperature to 95-96°C, or pouring more slowly. A well-extracted V60 should taste balanced — sweet, with bright acidity and clean finish. The brew time is the most reliable indicator: target 2:30-3:30 for a 250g brew.
