Bedienungsanleitung
Brewing Hot Coffee or Tea
- Vorheizen (optional): Pour a small amount of hot water into the glass carafe and swirl it around, then discard. This helps maintain the beverage temperature.
- Boden/Blätter hinzufügen: Add your desired amount of coarse ground coffee or loose-leaf tea to the bottom of the carafe. A common ratio for coffee is 1-2 tablespoons per 6 ounces (180ml) of water.
- Heißes Wasser hinzufügen: Pour hot water (ideally 90-96°C or 195-205°F for coffee) over the grounds/leaves. Ensure all grounds/leaves are saturated. Do not fill past the 'MAX' line.
- Umrühren (optional): Gently stir the mixture with a non-metal spoon to ensure even saturation.
- Deckel auflegen: Place the lid with the plunger assembly on top of the carafe. Do not press the plunger down yet. Turn the lid to close the pour spout to retain heat.
- Steil: Allow the coffee or tea to steep for 3-5 minutes (adjust to your preference).
- Drücken: Slowly and steadily press the plunger straight down. Apply gentle, even pressure. Do not force the plunger down quickly, as this can cause hot liquid to spray out.
- Aufschlag: Once the plunger is fully depressed, pour your freshly brewed coffee or tea into a mug.
Kaltes Bier zubereiten
- Gründe hinzufügen: Add coarse ground coffee to the carafe. A higher coffee-to-water ratio is typically used for cold brew (e.g., 1 part coffee to 4-8 parts water).
- Kaltes Wasser hinzufügen: Pour cold, filtered water over the grounds, ensuring they are fully saturated.
- Steil: Place the lid with the plunger on top (do not press down). Refrigerate for 12-24 hours.
- Drücken: Slowly and steadily press the plunger down.
- Aufschlag: Pour the cold brew concentrate. Dilute with water or milk and ice to taste.
