There are a number of ways to pour hot water over coffee, but at their heart they are all pretty similar. The V60 is the easiest to get started with, it’s relatively cheap and gives you a lot of control over the brew. The Chemex is another popular pour-over technique, which makes you look more serious about what you’re doing, but yields pretty similar results.
Fold the filter paper, and put it into your Chemex with the thicker side toward the spout;
Rinse the paper with hot water, then discard the water.
Grind 25g of coffee and place it in the filter;
Gently pour in 40g water, just off the boil;
Stir to make sure all the grounds are wet, and wait 30 seconds;

Once brew is complete, lift out the filter paper, swirl the Chemex to mix the coffee, and enjoy.
