Don’t call it American: this filtered coffee is a more diluted drink, with a less consistent body than an espresso, yet very different from the beloved “long coffee” of the United States.
The V60’s name comes from the 60°degree angle and conical shape of its dripper. If used correctly, it can produce a very clean cup of coffee and can enhance the aromas of your favourite blend.
The origins of this method can generally be traced back to 1908, when Melitta Bentz, a German housewife from Dresden, used for the very first time, a sheet of paper as a filter for making coffee. However, this method was inspired by the Japanese technique of making tea.
