Twelve Days of BonLife: Day 2
It’s the Second Day of BonLife! During the Twelve Days of BonLife we’re dropping daily blog posts to share with you twelve of our favorite specialty coffee products to make your holiday shopping a little easier.
Welcome to the Second Day of BonLife!
We know, we know: we started the Twelve Days of BonLife too early for it to end on Christmas. That’s because we want to give you a few extra days to finish up that last minute shopping with our specialty coffee gift guide in mind.
So without further ado: on the Second Day of BonLife let’s talk about Hario V60 Pourovers!
The Hario V60 is a brew method loved by baristas the world over. We admit we have a soft spot for this pour over here at BonLife; it is one of our favorite ways to try new coffees. And it’s not just us! A quick internet search for pour overs brings up Hario V60 as a top favorite every time.
Why is it so loved? The V60's conical shape allows for deeper layering of coffee grounds, and its spiral ridges and lack of flow restriction allow the user to pour water quickly for a delicate body, or slowly for a heavier flavor. You can easily modify and control the recipe on this brew method. We love the delicate cup of coffee the V60 makes; we find it perfect for finding tasting notes in new coffees!
Another reason we love the Hario V60 as a gift idea is its simplicity. Yes, it’s recommended to brew it with a gooseneck kettle and a scale, but, at the end of the day, all you need in order to use a V60 is filters, hot water, and coffee! We shared our recipe for the perfect V60 in a previous blog post. In short, the V60 is so easy to use, making it perfect for a new home-barista or a coffee-lover who doesn’t like too many steps or accessories in their coffee routine.
So, if your specialty coffee lover doesn’t have a Hario V60 in their brew method collection, this is the perfect gift for them! Whether it’s our Sea Green plastic dripper for your friend who tends to break things or our Matte Black ceramic dripper for your friend with the sweet coffee set up at home or another style altogether, a Hario V60 is a simple, meaningful gift idea for a specialty coffee fanatic.
If you know your coffee-loving relative already has a V60, how about getting them some accessories for it? A great accessory to add to the home barista’s set up is the Hario glass carafe for serving coffee or a new pack of filters.
Yes, the Hario V60 drippers we sell on our website are our favorite, and we offer free shipping on orders over $30! But there are so many other variations available on the Hario website! Shop around for one that’s just perfect for the specialty coffee lover in your life.
Don’t forget to check back here tomorrow for the Third Day of BonLife! If you need more coffee-related gift inspiration in the meantime, read this Holiday Gift Guide.
