The Wildest V60 Recipe I Have Tried (Tetsu Kasuya 10 Pour)
Lance Hedrick Tests Tetsu Kasuya's New 10-Pour V60 Recipe
Lance Hedrick explores the latest recipe from World Brewers Cup champion Tetsu Kasuya, who claims it could win again in 2026. The recipe defies the current trend toward fewer pours by using ten small pours with an extremely coarse grind.
Key Parameters:
- Dose: 20 g coffee
- Ratio: 1:15 (300 g water)
- Water temperature: 95–96 °C
- Grind size: Very coarse (approx. 40–45 clicks on Comandante C40 or 82 clicks on 1Zpresso Q2 heptagonal)
- Procedure: 30 g bloom for 30 s, then 30 g every 15 s → total of 10 pours
Why This Recipe?
- Kasuya argues that fewer pours offer no clear advantages.
- The very coarse grind reduces bitterness and clogging, but requires many small pours to achieve proper extraction.
- Target TDS: 1.3 % with a total brew time of 3–3.5 minutes.
Blind Tasting vs. Lance’s Standard Recipe (Double Bloom):
- Both achieved nearly identical TDS values (1.28 %) and similar extraction yields (<17 %).
- Lance‘s recipe (finer grind, 2 pours, 90 °C) delivered more sweetness, body, and balanced acidity.
- Kasuya’s 10-pour showed a bright but slightly acrid acidity – interesting for some palates, but less harmonious overall.
Conclusion:
This recipe is a fascinating boundary-pushing approach, especially suitable for medium roasts. It proves that very coarse grinds can still work well if contact time is extended through many pours. However, personal preference remains key.
