Pre-heat your coffee/tea maker by filling it with hot tap water and let sit for 1 minute.
Never pour boiling water into your coffee/tea maker without pre-heating first.
Empty the tap water and add one teaspoon of your favourite tea or coffee for each person.
Add almost boiling water into the coffee maker to a maximum of 1" (2.5cm) below the top of the beaker and stir lightly. The water which comes to a boil does not give the best taste.
Fit the lid with the filter group fully raised to the top of the beaker and let it brew for 3-5 minutes.
Slowly push the center shaft down so that the filter gently reaches the bottom of the glass beaker. Remember the water is at boiling temperature and care should be taken not to push down too rapidly.
To clean your plunger simply remove the center shaft, rinse out the remaining tea or coffee, and hand wash in warm soapy water.
Rinse out with clean fresh water, and allow to dry in a well-ventilated place.
There is no need to remove the glass beaker section during cleaning.
