5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Using as a French Press

1. Add Coffee Grounds: Place your desired amount of coarse-ground coffee into the bottom of the pot. For best results, use a medium to coarse grind to prevent grounds from passing through the filter.
2. Heat Water: Fill the pot with water to your desired level (up to 750ml capacity). Place the pot on a compatible heat source (camp stove, alcohol burner, or campfire) and heat the water until it reaches just below boiling (approximately 90-96°C or 195-205°F). Avoid boiling water as it can result in a burnt taste.
3. Combine: Remove the pot from the heat. If using the French press mechanism, remove the lid and plunger assembly. Pour the hot water over the coffee grounds, ensuring all grounds are saturated. Stir gently.
4. Steep: Place the lid with the plunger assembly on top of the pot, but do not press down yet. Allow the coffee to steep for 4-5 minutes for optimal flavor extraction.
5. Press: Slowly and steadily press the plunger down until it reaches the bottom of the pot. Do not force the plunger.
6. Serve: Pour the freshly brewed coffee into your cup.

5.2 Using as a Cooking Pot

1. Prepare Food/Water: Place desired ingredients or water into the pot.
2. Heat: Position the pot securely on your chosen heat source. The pot is compatible with gas stoves, alcohol burners, and can be suspended over a campfire using its hanging handle.
3. Monitor: Cook or heat as required. Titanium heats efficiently, so monitor closely to prevent burning, especially with thicker foods.
4. Serve: Carefully remove the pot from the heat using the foldable handles or hanging handle.

6. Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning: The Bestargot Titanium Pot is dishwasher-safe. For hand washing, use warm water and mild soap. Avoid abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the surface.
• Drying: Ensure all components are thoroughly dry before storage to prevent water spots or mineral buildup.
• Storage: Store the pot and its components in a clean, dry place. The foldable handles and compact design allow for efficient storage.
• Titanium Discoloration: Exposure to high heat, especially open flames, may cause titanium to develop a blue or gold hue. This is a natural oxidation process and does not affect the pot's performance or safety.

7. Troubleshooting

• Coffee Grounds in Cup: If you find coffee grounds in your brewed coffee, ensure you are using a coarse grind. Fine grounds can pass through the filter. Press the plunger slowly and steadily.
• Food Burning on Bottom: Titanium conducts heat efficiently. When cooking, especially over direct flame, stir frequently and manage heat levels to prevent food from sticking or burning. Consider using a heat diffuser if available.
• Lid/Plunger Feels Loose: Check that the wooden knob is securely screwed onto the plunger rod and that the filter screen is properly seated.
