Run a V60 brew with a 30-second bloom, timed pours, and drawdown preset from our V60 recipe.
Coffee 15 g · Input water 240 g · 1:16
Do not tare between pours. Times are the 15 g / 240 g recipe's starting schedule; larger batches may drain differently.
Phase 1: Bloom
Use this V60 timer when you want one repeatable schedule rather than separate phone alarms. It starts with the V60 recipe preset: a 30-second bloom, two pours, then drawdown.
Keep dose, water, and grind steady for one brew. If the drawdown runs unusually fast or slow, change the grind for the next cup rather than changing every phase at once. Pair the timer with the V60 ratio calculator to set the dose first.
| Phase | Starting time | What to watch |
|---|---|---|
| Bloom | 0:00–0:30 | Wet all grounds evenly |
| First pour | 0:30–1:15 | Pour steadily without flooding |
| Second pour | 1:15–2:20 | Keep the slurry level controlled |
| Drawdown | 2:20–2:50 | Let the bed drain without stirring |
After the cup, note whether it was sour, bitter, or balanced in your private journal. That makes the next grind adjustment easier to compare.
At 1:16, 240 g input water needs 15 g coffee: bloom 30 g, then reach 120 g total and 240 g total. For 320 g water use 20 g coffee: bloom 40 g, reach 160 g, then 320 g. The targets above show both added water and the cumulative scale reading. Do not tare between pours. The timer link carries the selected water amount and ratio; it keeps the source recipe's 30 + 45 + 65 + 30 = 170 seconds. Larger batches may drain differently. These are input water weights; the filtered beverage weighs less. Save the public recipe card or log your actual result in the private journal.
It depends on the method. Use the preset as a starting point, then change one variable at a time. A useful timer is a repeatable reference, not a rule for every coffee.
Treat sour or bitter taste as a clue, not proof of extraction. Check dose, water, roast and flow, change one variable at a time, then compare with your previous cup.
