This manual provides detailed instructions for setting up, operating, and maintaining your Cuppamoka to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

Product Overview and Components

The Cuppamoka system is designed for portability and ease of use. It consists of several key components that fit together compactly for storage and travel.

Included Components:

• Double-wall Stainless Steel Mug: 300 mL / 10 fl oz capacity, designed to keep beverages hot for hours.
• Built-in Coffee Dripper: Retractable design for compact storage, compatible with cone paper filters.
• Leakproof Drinking Lid: Allows direct sipping and prevents spills.
• Coffee Scoop: For accurate measurement of coffee grounds.
• Cone Paper Filters: 10 filters are included to ensure a clean brew. Additional filters are sold separately.
• Drip Tray: Catches excess liquid after brewing, ensuring a clean workspace.

Setup

Before first use, wash all components with warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly. Ensure all parts are dry before assembly.

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging.
2. Prepare the Dripper: The coffee dripper is stored retracted within the mug. To prepare for brewing, unscrew the dripper from the mug and pull it upwards until it locks into its extended position.

3. Insert Paper Filter: Place one cone paper filter into the extended dripper, ensuring it sits snugly against the walls.

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps to brew a perfect cup of pour-over coffee with your Cuppamoka.

1. Grind Coffee Beans: Use freshly ground coffee beans. A medium-fine grind is generally recommended for pour-over methods.
2. Add Coffee Grounds: Place the desired amount of coffee grounds into the paper filter within the dripper. Use the included scoop for accurate measurement.
3. Heat Water: Heat water to your preferred brewing temperature, typically between 195°F and 205°F (90°C and 96°C). Note: The Cuppamoka does not heat water.
4. Pre-wet Filter (Optional): Slowly pour a small amount of hot water over the paper filter and grounds to pre-wet them. This helps remove any paper taste and allows the coffee to "bloom." Discard this water if desired.
5. Begin Pouring: Slowly and steadily pour the hot water over the coffee grounds in a circular motion, starting from the center and moving outwards. Ensure all grounds are saturated.

6. Allow to Drip: Let the coffee drip completely into the stainless steel mug. The built-in dripper ensures a clean extraction.
7. Remove Dripper: Once brewing is complete, carefully remove the dripper from the mug. The integrated drip tray will catch any residual drips.

Maintenance and Care

Proper cleaning and maintenance will extend the life of your Cuppamoka and ensure consistent coffee quality.

• Daily Cleaning: After each use, discard the used paper filter and coffee grounds. Rinse the dripper, mug, and lid with warm water.
• Thorough Cleaning: For a more thorough clean, wash all components with mild dish soap and warm water. Use a soft brush if necessary to clean crevices in the dripper.
• Drying: Allow all components to air dry completely before reassembling or storing to prevent odor and mildew.
• Storage: For compact storage, retract the dripper back into the mug and secure the lid.
