I'm assuming you already have a kettle.
18g of beans, ground fairly course for filter, or just choose Climpsons to grind it for you and make sure to seal the bag when not in use.
Put the filter paper in the v60 and pour hot water through it to rinse it and avoid a papery taste in the coffee.
Put your cup with v60 on top on the scale and tare it.
Pour the 18g of ground coffee into the filter then tare the scale to 0 again.
Start a timer on your phone and pour enough water in just cover the ground, about 40-50g and leave it for about 20-30 seconds.
Then top up the water to about half way up the v60 and slowly keep topping it up as it goes down.
Stop when you've poured in 300g of water.
The whole process should take 2.5 mins.
Then enjoy your coffee.
