1 - Do You Stir Hario V60 or Not?

It depends on the flavor profile you're after. Stirring the grounds can help fully saturate them, especially during the bloom, which allows the carbon dioxide to release and makes the coffee extraction more even. Some people prefer a gentle swirl instead to avoid over-agitation, which can bring out bitterness if you’re not careful. I usually give it a light stir right after the bloom to ensure all grounds are wet, and then let the natural flow do its thing. Try both and see what suits your taste; it’s all about what works best for you and your cup.

2 - Is V60 Better Than Aeropress?

Well, it’s like comparing apples and oranges! Both have unique qualities: the V60 gives you that smooth, clean cup with a more refined, delicate flavor, thanks to its paper filter and pour-over method. Aeropress, on the other hand, is a bit more versatile—you can make everything from espresso-like brews to something closer to drip coffee by adjusting your water, grind, and press time. I’d say if you love pour-over, go for the V60. If you’re up for experimenting and want something portable, the Aeropress might be your new best friend.

3 - What Is stronger V60 Or Chemex?

If you’re talking about strength and richness, the V60 often comes out on top. The Chemex filter is thicker, which filters out more oils and fines, leaving you with a super-clean, bright cup that’s slightly milder. The V60, with its thinner paper, allows more oils to pass through, which can make the flavors more pronounced and intense. So if you’re looking for a stronger, bolder taste, V60 might be your winner; for a cleaner, gentler cup, Chemex might just be the way to go.
