  1. Fill the reservoir
    Fill the reservoir with hot boiled filtered water to just below the safety valve (that works out to be around the 150mL/300mL quantity
  2. Measure and Grind
    Measure and grind 15g or 2 Tablespoons of coffee. Grind the coffee a little finer than table salt.
  3. Fill the basket
    Fill the basket with the ground coffee, tapping the basket on the bench so the grind is levelled and even; no need to pat it down.
  4. Secure in place
    Place the filter basket into the water reservoir and, with a tea-towel (CAUTION: HOT), screw in the top chamber, ensuring it’s sealed. Don’t use the pot handle as a lever.
  5. Wait and Brew
    Place on stove and allow to brew on a medium setting. Leave the lid up. Watch as the coffee begins to spill out of the top, and reduce the heat to low on a gas stove, or turn off element on an electric stove.
  6. Serve and enjoy
    Once the top is about 80-90% full and you’re hearing the bubbling sound, remove from heat. After removing from heat, run the base under cold water to stop the brewing process (this will reduce bitterness). Enjoy on its own, with a little hot water, or with milk. Clean with hot water and you’re ready for your next smooth brew.
