Mastering the Art of Pour‑Over Coffee with the V60 Set — Welcome to another instalment of
1st Souk’s kitchen know‑how series. In this article we dive deep into mastering the art of
pour‑over coffee with the v60 set with a special focus on our V60 Coffee Set and how it
simplifies life in UAE homes. Whether you are a busy professional grabbing breakfast on the
go or a weekend hobbyist perfecting your culinary rituals, the tips below will help you make
the most of every drop, every grind and every dirham you spend.
The Craft of Pour‑Over
Pour‑over is the slow coffee movement’s crown jewel, delivering unparalleled clarity and
terroir‑driven flavour. With the V60’s spiral ribs and 60‑degree cone, water flows at an
ideal speed to maximise extraction without bitterness.
Dial‑In Variables
Great coffee balances four levers: grind size, water temperature, brew ratio and pour
technique. Our set includes a precision scale accurate to 0.1 g so you can nail the golden
1:16 ratio every single time.
Routine for Busy Mornings
Heat 300 g of filtered water to 93 °C, grind 18 g beans medium‑fine, bloom for 30 s then
finish your pour by 2:30 min. The whole ritual takes five minutes—faster than a trip to the
corner café and infinitely more satisfying.
Pairings & Variations
For fruit‑forward Ethiopian beans, pair with almond biscotti. Brazilian chocolatey notes
love oat‑milk flat whites. When the mercury rises to 45 °C in August, switch to flash‑brew:
pour over ice for instant cooling without flavour dilution.
Care & Longevity
Rinse brewer and server promptly; residue oils go rancid quickly in Gulf humidity. A weekly
baking‑soda soak keeps glass sparkling. Calibrate the scale monthly to ensure your gram game
stays strong.
By integrating these insights into your daily routine you’ll squeeze maximum value and
enjoyment from your V60 Coffee Set. Keep experimenting, keep tasting and remember — 1st Souk
is here to fuel every delicious, sustainable moment in your kitchen journey.
