＊ Coffee oils may build up and cause clogs with repeated use.
＊ Rinse with hot water before and after use to help prevent this.
Beans quantity 1-2 cups Approx. 20-30g (level 1-2 from the bottom)
3-4 cupsApprox. 40-50g (level 3-4 from the bottom)
How to grindRecommended
Medium coarse grind		Filters out impurities for a more well-balanced flavor. Easy to clean and hard to get clogged, for a more essential coffee aroma.
Coarse grindPerfect for bringing out a clear taste.
＊ Not for use with fine ground coffee. This may cause clogging.
Hot water temperatureRecommended for use with water between 90-95℃ (194-203°F). (A higher temperature is recommended due to the high brewing speed, compared with standard filters.)
About the scaleGuide indicates ideal amount of coffee. First line from the bottom represents 20g, with each subsequent line being another 10g.
The keyto make it tasty

Example:For 2 cups (30g beans / 360ml hot water)		Pour hot water over the beans and steam for 30 seconds.
LightFor each serving, pour water slowly in a circular motion around the edge of the filter.

Maintenance

Easy maintenance!

cerapotta is also easy to clean, requiring only a simple rinse before and after use.
The specially chosen material is easy to maintain,
and it prevents oxidization of the beverage.

exclamationClogs in the filter may result in an acidic aftertaste and the drip speed becoming slower. Clean your filter thoroughly if you notice any of these problems.
What to do when drip speed slows down Maintenance by boiling Fully submerge the filter in water and boil for approx. 10 minutes. Be sure to keep the filter upright when sterilizing.
＊ Failure to do so may cause bubbles to form at the bottom of the pot, preventing complete sterilization.
Maintenance by microwave oven Fully submerge the filter in water and microwave for approx. 5 minutes on 500W / 2.5 minutes on 1000W.
Sodium bicarbonate can be added to the water for more effective cleaning. (2 tablespoons of powder to 1 liter of water.) After cleaning, be sure to thoroughly rinse the filter and leave out to air dry.
＊ The product may break if rapidly cooled under running water.＊ Cannot be cared for over an open flame.

 Dissolve the sodium percarbonate in a pot or bowl of hot water (104-140°F / 40-60°C) and cover the filter entirely. Leave it to soak for about one hour.
＊ Use sodium percarbonate (unscented non-chlorine bleach) in accordance with the directions for dosage and use for dishware.
