TOP TIPS:

When it comes to coffee - fresh is best. Purchase fresh coffee beans from your local cafe or roastery, grinding as required using a hand or electric grinder.

Start every brew by initially blooming the coffee for 30 seconds. We recommend adding 2g of water for every 1g of ground coffee. Blooming exposes the ground coffee to a small amount of water encouraging it to begin to release it's flavour's before the total volume of the brew water is added.

Do your best to ensure the correct water temperature is maintained throughout the whole brewing process - this will help ensure a more even extraction. If you have a standard household kettle use fresh water every time and try turning the jug off just as it begins to boil to achieve a lower brew temperature.

 

CARE:

Clean after use.
Wash with hot water and dry.
