Brew Better Coffee at Home

If you’re just starting your home coffee journey, the Hario V60 and Chemex are a great way to experience the art of brewing. Unlike an espresso coffee machine, these brewers allow full control over water temperature, grind size, and pour rate - known as the three key elements of exceptional coffee. Pair them with a quality coffee grinder such as the Hario Skerton Hand Grinder or Hario Mini Mill Plus to achieve precise, consistent grinds that bring out the best in your beans.

The Perfect Companions: Coffee Grinder & Coffee Plunger

Great coffee starts with fresh grounds. If you’re upgrading your setup, consider pairing your Hario or Chemex with a Merlo coffee grinder for ultimate control over flavour and aroma. For those who prefer a rich, full-bodied cup, explore our coffee plungers, an essential addition to any home brewing setup.

Alternatively, if convenience is key, our range of coffee machines and portable coffee makers ensures there’s always a Merlo brew within reach.

Tips for Brewing with the Hario V60 or Chemex

  • Grind size matters: Use a medium grind, finer than for a coffee plunger, but coarser than espresso.
  • Pre-wet your filter: This removes paper taste and preheats your coffee maker.
  • Pour slowly and evenly: The steady pour helps extract the perfect balance of sweetness and acidity.
  • Experiment with beans: Try our Single Origin coffees to experience how different regions shine through in a pour-over brew.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Hario V60 and Chemex coffee maker are both pour-over brewing devices, but they differ in design and cup profile. The Hario V60 allows for precise control of flow rate and extraction, while the Chemex offers a smoother, cleaner cup thanks to its thicker paper filters. Both are excellent alternatives to a traditional coffee machine for those who enjoy hands-on brewing with Merlo coffee.

Yes, using a coffee grinder is essential for achieving the best results with your Hario V60 or Chemex. Freshly ground coffee ensures better flavour and aroma. A burr-style grinder such as the Hario Skerton Hand Grinder or Hario Mini Mill Plus lets you adjust the grind size perfectly for your chosen coffee maker and Merlo beans.

The main difference between a pour-over brewer and a coffee plunger lies in the texture and clarity of the cup. The Hario V60 and Chemex use paper filters, resulting in a cleaner, lighter coffee, while a coffee plunger (or French press) produces a richer, fuller-bodied brew. Both are great ways to enjoy Merlo coffee, depending on your taste preference.

For a Hario V60 or Chemex coffee maker, we recommend medium-roasted Merlo coffee beans such as our Private Blend or Single Origin varieties. A medium grind works best, as it allows balanced extraction and highlights the natural sweetness and acidity of the beans. Always grind fresh using a quality coffee grinder for the best flavour.

Yes, you can make cold brew with the Hario V60 or Chemex by adjusting your recipe. Simply use coarsely ground Merlo coffee, brew with cold water, and let it steep for several hours. Alternatively, explore our Bruer Cold Brew System and other coffee makers in the Brew Equipment range for an even easier cold brew setup.
