MAKING POUR-OVER COFFEE
- Place the coffee maker filter into the decanter.
- Add ground coffee to the filter according to your preference.
- Heat water using the smart kettle.
- Use the kettle to gently pour water over the coffee grounds using a slow spiral motion. Pour just enough water to saturate the ground.
NOTE:
- This spiral motion is to create "turbulence" in the coffee grounds, allowing the particles in the coffee to separate and release flavor.
- The water will cause the grounds to puff up, which is called "blooming". Some roasts will bloom more than others.
5. Wait 30-45 seconds.
6. Use the kettle to pour water over the coffee grounds again using a slow spiral motion. If water reaches the top of the filter, stop and let it settle to the halfway point, then begin pouring again until you have the desired amount of coffee.
7. When finished, remove the filter and enjoy!
HIGH ALTITUDE USERS
At higher elevations, water boils at a lower temperature. You may need to use a different preset.

ADJUSTING LID TIGHTNESS
If you feel the kettle lid fits too loosely or is too hard to take off, you can adjust the tightness of the lid.
