Preparation instructions

Step 1

Grind the coffee to a medium-fine size (450 - 500 microns).

Step 2

Add the freshly ground coffee to the basket and secure the lid.

Step 3

Set the programme for 4 L and infuse for 40 minutes.

Tip 1:

Not sure how to grind your coffee? Just grind it slightly finer than you would for pour-over methods (like drip coffee).

Tip 2:

Is this your first time making cold brew with the device? Use the preset programme called “Coffee.”

Tip 3:

Don’t have a scale on hand? 325 g of coffee is roughly enough to fill the device’s basket.

Tip 4:

Want your cold brew to have a higher TDS (total dissolved solids)? This recipe yields about 1.5% TDS. If you’re aiming for 1.8% TDS, set your programme to 3.5 L and infuse for 40 minutes.
