V60 coffee in Downtown Dubai: what it is and where to try it
A V60 is a hand-poured filter coffee: clean, delicate and slower to make, with more of the coffee’s own character in the cup. MRJADE pours it by hand at Burj Crown, from 7 AM.
What is a V60?
A V60 is a hand-poured filter coffee: hot water is poured by hand over ground coffee through a paper filter, giving a clean, delicate cup that shows the coffee’s own character. The name also refers to the cone-shaped dripper used to brew it.
At MRJADE, the V60 Filter is hand-brewed to show clarity, aroma and more detail from the coffee itself, with a clean finish.

How a V60 differs from espresso and Americano.
Three black coffees, three ways of making them. For the espresso comparison, see Americano vs espresso.
| V60 | Espresso | Americano | |
|---|---|---|---|
| How it is made | Hot water poured by hand through a paper filter | A short, concentrated shot | Espresso lengthened with hot water |
| Taste | Clean and delicate | Concentrated and intense | Bold but easier-drinking |
| Pace | Slower, to savour | Quick | Long, to sip |
| Best if you want | To taste the coffee itself | An intense hit | A longer black coffee |
These are typical differences. The V60 and Americano descriptions follow the MRJADE menu.

The basic V60 method.
A general outline to start from. It is not the MRJADE recipe.
- Place a paper filter in the V60 dripper and rinse it with hot water.
- Add medium-ground coffee.
- Pour hot water over the coffee by hand, slowly, in circles.
- Let it drain through, then taste. Adjust the grind or the amount next time to get the clarity you like.

V60 coffee: your questions
Short answers before you order.
What is a V60?
A V60 is a hand-poured filter coffee: hot water is poured by hand over ground coffee through a paper filter in a cone-shaped dripper. The result is a clean, delicate cup that shows the coffee’s own character. The V60 is also the name of the dripper used to make it.
What does V60 coffee taste like?
Clean, light-bodied and clear, with more detail and aroma than a milky drink. MRJADE’s menu describes its V60 Filter as hand-brewed to show clarity, aroma and more detail from the coffee itself, with a clean finish.
Is V60 the same as pour-over?
The V60 is one type of pour-over. Pour-over is the general method of pouring hot water over coffee by hand, and the V60 is a popular dripper used for it.
What is the difference between a V60 and an espresso?
Espresso is a short, concentrated shot made with pressure. A V60 is a slower, hand-poured filter coffee made without pressure, so it is longer, lighter and clearer. See our Americano vs espresso guide for the black coffee comparison.
