Pour-Over Coffee Preparation:

The EXAFLOW lid is ideal for precise pouring during pour-over coffee brewing.

1. Heat Water: Heat water to your desired brewing temperature.
2. Fill EXAFLOW: Pour the hot water into your compatible WACACO cup with the EXAFLOW lid attached (ensure the lid button is in the open position before filling).

4. Pour: Use the EXAFLOW lid's precision spout to slowly and steadily pour hot water over your coffee grounds. The controlled flow mimics a gooseneck kettle, allowing for even saturation.
