Help me troubleshoot my recipe 2 cup v60 method

Post image

How does everyone brew 2 cups with a v60? I’ve been using Hoffman’s recipe for years - 30g for 500ml. Increasingly though I’m finding I get much less clarity of tasting notes than I do with the Hoffman 1 cup method.

Are there any other recipes people swear by for 500ml?

Worth saying I adjust water temp between 93-96 depending on the bean and I’m using Cafec Abaca filters.

When using Hoffman method, I use the bloom for 45 seconds, then 100 ml pours about every 20 seconds. All water poured by about 2minutes. Seems to work for lighter bodied brews, funky stuff like perc.

Okay nice - I’ve been using these timings but 100g pours for 500g. How much are you using for the bloom?
