How to use:

1: Begin by pouring boiling water through the filter to make sure that it is not clogged. If the water doesn't flow properly, please unclog your filter using our recommended methods.

2: Add your desired amount of ground coffee to the filter. Coarse grind is recommended for the best results.

When adding tea leaves or coffee, please note that using grounds or leaves that are too fine may clog the filter. For best performance, use coarsely ground beans or leaves.

3. Pour boiled water into the filter 5-6 times.

4. After each use, gently rinse filter with water only. The use of detergent may bind to the pores, spoiling future beverage flavor. Rinse well until water coming out of the filter becomes clear.

How to clear a clogged filter:
Since the pores of the filter are extremely fine, clogging occurs after repeated use. If the flow rate becomes lower, clogging is beginning to occur. Follow the instruction below to learn how to clear a clogged filter.

Boiling:

Put baking soda (2 spoons) in a boiling pot and boil the filter for 10-20 min.
Or fill a microwave-safe bowl with enough water, put baking soda (2 spoons) in a boiling pot, and heat in the microwave(500W/5 min, 700W/3 min).

・Be sure that the top of filter is facing up.
・Before use, please rinse well with warm water to clean off the baking soda.
・Please be sure to use baking soda that is sold as safe for human consumption (i.e., sold for use as a food additive or as an antacid).
・The filter will be extremely hot after firing or boiling. Please be sure to let the filter cool before use.
・The filter may break if cooled immediately.
・Clogging may not be dissolved if not being boiled long enough.

Firing:

Place the filter face up on a steel net and fire for about 10 min until smoke does not comes out.

Fire the whole surface by turning it using tongs.
