A measured pulse-pour recipe
Pulse pouring divides the brewing water into separate additions with pauses between them. This version uses four pours in total, including the first wetting pour. The recipe is 14 g of coffee, 200 g of hot water at 91°C and a coarse grind, with a guide lasting about 02:30.
The quantities and sequence reference Kurasu's 2022 V60 guide, with Brewlento's timed pour windows. Other pulse recipes use different doses, water divisions and pauses. Keep this schedule together when comparing results so that you know which version you brewed.
| Setting | Starting value |
|---|---|
| Coffee | 14 g |
| Hot water | 200 g |
| Input ratio | About 1:14.3 |
| Grind | Coarse |
| Water temperature | 91°C |
| Approximate guide time | 02:30 |
Prepare the brewer and spoon
Rinse the V60 paper, discard the rinse water and add the ground coffee. Level the bed and tare the entire setup. Have a small spoon ready before you start; this recipe includes a brief stir after wetting the grounds and a gentle final stir.
Start in your grinder's coarse range, then adjust it with the same coffee. Two grinders can produce different particle distributions at settings with similar names. Record your own model and setting so that a successful cup is easier to repeat.
- Keep coffee, paper and water consistent during early comparisons.
- Read the entire water schedule before beginning.
- Repeat the same stirring motions on each attempt.
Follow the four additions
The first pour adds 40 g. Stir two or three times with the spoon, then wait until 00:40. Later additions are 60 g, 50 g and 50 g. The cumulative scale targets are therefore 40 g, 100 g, 150 g and 200 g. The pauses are part of this particular rhythm.
| Elapsed time | Action | Add | Scale total |
|---|---|---|---|
| 00:00 to 00:10 | First pour | 40 g | 40 g |
| 00:10 to 00:40 | Stir 2 to 3 times, then bloom | 0 g | 40 g |
| 00:40 to 00:50 | Second pour | 60 g | 100 g |
| 00:50 to 01:10 | Rest | 0 g | 100 g |
| 01:10 to 01:20 | Third pour | 50 g | 150 g |
| 01:20 to 01:40 | Rest | 0 g | 150 g |
| 01:40 to 01:50 | Final pour | 50 g | 200 g |
| 01:50 to about 02:30 | Stir once gently, then drain | 0 g | 200 g |
Keep the pouring pace controlled
If you miss a moment slightly, continue with a controlled pour and make a note. A sudden increase in flow can disturb the coffee bed and make the attempt harder to compare with your previous brew.
Allow the water to drain before lifting the brewer. Brewlento follows the timed schedule and does not measure whether the bed is empty. Mix the finished coffee and taste after it cools enough to assess comfortably.
Compare deliberately
Pulse pouring changes the water level and the frequency of disturbance in the bed. Its result also depends on grind, filter and dose, so more pours do not automatically mean a sweeter or stronger cup. Record what you actually taste.
For your next attempt, keep the same schedule and change only grind, or keep grind fixed and practice steadier pours. If you want a less segmented routine, return to Easy V60. Both can be useful tools for learning how your coffee responds.
