PRODUCT USAGE
Make sure the Brew Jar Tap is in the
3
closed position.
After the coffee blooms, pour an
5
additional 1/4 L of water over the
grounds.
Use a spoon to press the grounds
down into the water, ensuring all of
6
the grounds are fully saturated. There
should be no dry coffee grounds.

Pour approximately 1 L of cold water
over the grounds, using a circular
4
motion and being sure to coat the
grounds well. Pause for 1 minute
to let the grounds bloom.
TIP: The part in the coffee brewing
process when gases from the coffee
are released as the water hits the grounds
is called the "bloom," because it causes
the grounds to grow and rise.
Once comfortable with the process, you
can use the Trim Band as a visual pouring
guide. At the first pour, fill the jar until
the water level is about 2.5 cm below the
Trim Band. Then, let the coffee bloom,
and add water until the level is at the
bottom of the Trim Band.
Place the lid on the Steeper,
and allow the coffee to brew for
7
12-24 hours. Brew either at room
temperature or in the refrigerator.
