Step by step
-
1
Rinse the paper filter with hot water to remove any papery taste.
-
2
Add 22 g (about 4 tbsp) of Drip-grind coffee for every 12 oz mug you plan to brew.
-
3
Fill the reservoir with fresh, cold, filtered water.
-
4
Brew, then give the carafe a gentle swirl so every cup tastes the same.
-
5
Pour right away. Coffee left on a hot plate turns bitter after 20–30 minutes, so move extra to a thermal carafe.
Roaster's tip: Clean your machine once a month with a descaling cycle. Old coffee oils make even fresh-roasted beans taste stale.
