Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Add coarse coffee grounds to the bottom of the cafetiere.
- Pour hot water (just off the boil) over the grounds.
- Stir gently and let it steep for approximately 4 minutes.
- Slowly press the plunger down.
- Serve immediately.
Compatibility:
This cafetiere is suitable for use with coarsely ground coffee beans. It is not compatible with fine espresso grounds, which can clog the filter and result in a bitter taste or difficult plunging. It is designed for stovetop or electric kettle water heating, not for direct heating on a stove.
Care:
While the product states it is dishwasher safe, handwashing is recommended to maintain the pristine condition of the ceramic and the stainless-steel filter. Use warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge to clean. Ensure all parts are thoroughly dried before reassembling or storing. The filter components can be dismantled for a more thorough clean.
