Operating Instructions
Follow these steps to brew pour-over coffee:
- Heat Water: Heat fresh water to approximately 195-205°F (90-96°C). Use the provided instant-read thermometer to monitor the water temperature.
- Add Coffee Grounds: Place your desired amount of medium-coarse ground coffee into the stainless steel filter. A common ratio is 1:15 (1 gram of coffee to 15 ml of water).
- Bloom the Coffee: Slowly pour a small amount of hot water over the coffee grounds, just enough to saturate them. Wait for 30-45 seconds to allow the coffee to "bloom" (release gases).
- Continue Pouring: Continue pouring the remaining hot water slowly and steadily in a circular motion, ensuring all grounds are evenly saturated. Pour until the desired amount of coffee is brewed (up to 400ml / 3 cups).
- Remove Filter: Once brewing is complete, carefully remove the stainless steel filter and discard the used grounds.
- Serve: Pour the freshly brewed coffee into your mug and enjoy.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Coffee tastes weak or watery. | Insufficient coffee grounds, water too cool, or pouring too fast. | Increase coffee grounds, ensure water temperature is 195-205°F (90-96°C), pour water more slowly. |
| Coffee tastes bitter or over-extracted. | Water too hot, grounds too fine, or brewing time too long. | Reduce water temperature, use coarser grounds, pour water more quickly. |
| Water drains too slowly. | Coffee grounds too fine, filter clogged. | Use coarser grounds. Clean the filter thoroughly to remove any blockages. |
| Glass carafe feels too hot to handle. | Silicone band not properly positioned or missing. | Ensure the black silicone band is correctly placed around the carafe's waist for insulation. |
