OPERATION
• Rinse the filter cone, filter, and coffee pot (or whatever you are brewing into) in hot
water to preheat them.
• Assemble the filter cone, filter and vessel and dump the ground coffee into the filter.
• When the water reaches a boil, take the kettle off the heat source and count about
five to fifteen seconds. The desired coffee brewing temperature is 205F so slightly
lower than boiling temperature.
• Now pour the water into the filter. Stir the coffee just a bit to be sure it all gets
saturated with water. A slow steady pour allows for the best extraction from the
grounds.
CLEANING & DECALCIFYING
Clean the outside of the kettle with a damp soft cloth.
The device is dishwasher-safe.
Clean the inside of the kettle with dishwasher detergent and rinse thoroughly with

STORAGE
Clean and dry all parts before storing. Store the kettle in its box or in a clean, dry place.
Tips:
• You may have to pour two or three times depending in the grind, filter size, and
amount of coffee being made.
• Pre-wetting the coffee grounds a minute before start pour over helps extraction.
• A narrower spout allows better water flow control.
• Pour-over coffee is usually ground finer than drip coffee maker, but not as fine as
espresso. If you are using a Melitta cone paper filter (which we recommend) the
grind will be more fine than that if you used a flat-bottom filter.
