Brew guide

Manual brewing that feels deliberate, not difficult.

Four steps take you from beans to crema. The lever does the pressure — this guide helps you dial in the grind and the pull.

01

Boil and grind

Start with just-off-boiling water and a fine grind. The tactile feedback helps you dial in pressure and crema.
02

Prepare the brew unit

Dose the coffee, break up clumps with the needle tool, set the filter disc, and lock the brew unit in place.
03

Pour and pull

Pour hot water directly into the brew unit, place your cup underneath, and pull the lever slowly and firmly.
04

Extract in 25-30 seconds

A well-matched grind gives steady resistance and a rich extraction in roughly half a minute.

Dialling in

Read the lever, adjust the grind.

The handle tells you everything. A well-matched grind gives steady resistance and a rich shot in 25–30 seconds.

Little resistance and a thin, pale shot means the grind is too coarse. Go one step finer and pull again.

If you have to lean on the handle and only drips come out, the grind is too fine. Coarsen slightly.

Work between 9–18 g of coffee with 25–30 ml of just-off-boiling water, depending on how strong you like it.

Steady, even resistance through the whole pull and a 25–30 second extraction — that is your grind. Keep it.
