6. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps to brew a perfect cup of pour-over coffee:
- Prepare Coffee Grounds: Grind your favorite coffee beans to a medium-fine consistency, similar to table salt. For best results, use freshly ground coffee.
- Add Grounds: Place the desired amount of coffee grounds into the stainless steel filter. A common ratio is 1:15 (1 gram of coffee to 15 ml of water), but adjust to your preference.
- Heat Water: Heat fresh water to approximately 195-205°F (90-96°C). Do not use boiling water directly.
- Bloom: Slowly pour a small amount of hot water (about twice the weight of the coffee grounds) evenly over the grounds, just enough to saturate them. Let it sit for 30-45 seconds. This allows the coffee to "bloom" and release gases.
- Pour: Continue pouring the remaining hot water slowly and steadily in a circular motion, starting from the center and moving outwards, then back to the center. Avoid pouring directly onto the filter walls. Maintain a consistent pour rate.
- Brew: Allow the coffee to drip completely into your mug or carafe. The total brewing time should typically be between 2.5 to 4 minutes, depending on grind size and pour rate.
- Enjoy: Remove the dripper and enjoy your freshly brewed coffee.

7. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning will ensure the longevity and performance of your dripper:
- After each use, discard used coffee grounds.
- Rinse the stainless steel filter and stand under warm running water.
- Use the provided small cleaning brush to gently scrub away any remaining coffee particles from the mesh filter.
- For a deeper clean, wash with mild dish soap and warm water.
- Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue and allow to air dry, or dry with a clean cloth.
- The stainless steel dripper is also dishwasher safe.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Coffee brews too slowly. | Coffee grounds are too fine, or filter is clogged. | Use a coarser grind. Clean the filter thoroughly to remove any blockages. |
| Coffee brews too quickly. | Coffee grounds are too coarse. | Use a finer grind. |
| Coffee tastes weak. | Not enough coffee grounds, water too cool, or grounds too coarse. | Increase coffee amount, use hotter water (195-205°F), or use a finer grind. |
| Coffee tastes bitter. | Water too hot, grounds too fine, or over-extraction. | Use slightly cooler water, a coarser grind, or reduce brewing time. |
