Your Brew Kit Brew Guide
Whether you're just getting started or fine-tuning your routine, everything you need for a great cup is right here.
Don't have a grinder yet? We put together a guide to our favorite ones at every price point.
Let's Get Brewing!
Before you start, warm up your brewer.
Pour hot water into the glass brewer, swirl it around, then discard. This keeps your coffee hot and promotes an even extraction.
Step 1
Grind 20g of coffee to medium - coarse.
- Single cup: use 20g (about 4 tbsp)
- 2 cups: use 30g (about 6 tbsp)
(Refer to the Grind Setting Guide above to discover the perfect grind setting)
Step 2
Pour grounds directly into the glass dripper. Grounds should cover the entire bottom of the dripper, not just the filter.
Step 3
Place the diffuser lid on top of the dripper, pour hot water (~ 210℉) through the diffuser lid until the grounds are saturated and allow it to bloom for 45 seconds.
What is blooming?
The bloom is the first pour of hot water over your coffee grounds. During this step, trapped CO₂ gas escapes, "waking up" the coffee and allowing the grounds to expand into the cake filtration layer.
This helps the Brew Kit brew a more flavorful, cleaner cup. For the best results, let your coffee bloom for 45 seconds before continuing your pour.
Step 4
Continue to pour water through the diffuser lid until the water level reaches the handle connection for a single cup.
For 2 cups, let coffee fully drip through, then repeat, pouring to handle connection.
Tip: Gently stir floating grounds to increase extraction
Step 5
Allow water to fully drip through the grounds.
Tip: To increase flow at the end of the brew, gently disrupt the bottom grounds with the stir stick.
Step 6
Place dripper back on base and enjoy!

HOW TO CLEAN
3 Simple Steps
1. Knock your spent coffee grounds into the trash or compost.
2. Give the dripper a quick rinse under warm water to remove any remaining grounds.
3. Handwash with a soft sponge or place it in the dishwasher. It's dishwasher safe!
