Brew your perfect cup:
- Heat the water: Start with water at 195–205°F (90–96°C). If you bring it to a boil, let it cool slightly before pouring.
- Grind and measure: Grind fresh coffee beans. Start with a coffee-to-water ratio of 1:15 to 1:17 by weight. For a 1 pint (16oz) jar, try 28g of coffee and 450g of water, about a 1:16 ratio.
- Prep the filter: Set the filter on your jar or mug. Optionally rinse it with hot water to preheat it and rinse away residue.
- Add the grounds: Scoop your measured coffee into the filter and gently shake to level the grounds.
- Let it bloom: Pour just enough hot water to wet the grounds, then let them bloom for about 30 seconds.
- Pour slowly: Add the remaining water in a slow, circular motion, working from the center outward. Allow the water to drain between pours.
- Enjoy and rinse: Once the coffee finishes dripping, carefully remove the filter and discard the grounds. Rinse the filter promptly.
Pro tip: Experiment with bean types, grind sizes, brew ratios, and pour speeds to find your favorite cup.
Care and keeping the mesh clear:
Coffee oils, fine grounds, and hard-water minerals can build up in the mesh over time and slow draining. A quick rinse may not remove all the buildup.
- After each use: Discard the grounds and rinse with warm water, outside first and then inside. Wash both sides with fragrance-free dish soap and a soft brush. Rinse thoroughly and air dry.
- Dishwasher: Dishwasher safe; use the top rack.
- For stubborn coffee-oil buildup: Soak in a coffee-equipment cleaner suitable for stainless steel, such as Urnex Cafiza, following its package directions. Rinse thoroughly afterward. If you brew daily, weekly deep cleaning is a useful starting point.
- For hard-water deposits: Soak in equal parts white vinegar and water for 30–60 minutes, gently brush both sides, and rinse well.
- Protect the mesh: Avoid steel wool and abrasive scrubbers. Use each cleaning method separately, rinsing between methods.
