How to use
To prepare coffee, add coarsely ground coffee to the bottom of the glass carafe. Pour hot, but not boiling, water over the grounds and stir gently. Place the lid on the carafe with the plunger in the up position and allow the coffee to steep for approximately four minutes. Once the time has elapsed, slowly and steadily press the plunger down to the bottom. Serve immediately to enjoy the freshest flavor.
What to consider before purchase
- Ensure you have a grinder capable of a coarse grind setting for optimal results
- Check the available space in your kitchen for a 1-litre capacity carafe
- Consider the manual nature of the cleaning process required after each use
Usage recommendations
For the best flavor, always use freshly roasted coffee beans ground to a coarse consistency just before brewing. Pre-warming the carafe with a little hot water before adding the coffee grounds can help maintain the ideal brewing temperature for a longer period.
