Tips for Coffee Making  
There are a few small tips that if followed  
correctly, can result in the best tasting coffee  
from your Stainless Drip Filter.  
- It is important that you use only finely  
ground coffee in your Stainless Drip Filter.  
This will result in optimum flavour and  
aroma from your coffee. If you a grinding  
your own beans, it is important that you  
grind to the ‘Drip Filter’ setting, or the  
finest grind adjustment. Using fresh beans  
will result in the best output.  
- If you have left over coffee, ensure that  
this is stored in an air tight container in a  
dry, cool dark place.  
- Experiment with your desired flavour by  
adding more or less ground coffee, or trying  
different blends/ brands of coffee. This is  
the best way to find a flavour that is ideal  
for you.
