Overview

4. Maintenance Features

The Stagg [x] Pour-Over Set is a coffee brewing system designed for precision and quality in home coffee preparation. It includes a Stagg Dripper and Tasting Glasses, which are compatible with top-rack dishwashers for easy cleaning. The set is explicitly not to be used with microwaves, ovens, or stovetops.

Function Description:

The Stagg [x] Pour-Over Set facilitates the manual pour-over coffee brewing method, allowing users to control key variables for optimal extraction. The process involves precise water temperature, specific coffee-to-water ratios, and a controlled pouring technique, including a "bloom" phase, to achieve a "Pour-Over Perfected" cup. The dripper is designed to hold a filter and ground coffee, allowing hot water to pass through and extract the coffee into a serving vessel, such as the accompanying tasting glasses.

Important Technical Specifications:

• Compatibility: Stagg Dripper and Tasting Glasses are top-rack dishwasher safe.
• Capacity (Tasting Glass): Do not overfill past 10 oz.
• Recommended Brew Temperature: 195-205°F (using a Stagg Kettle with a thermometer).
• Coffee Grind: Medium coarseness.
• Ratio Aid: Included for measuring coffee (single dot for 20g).
• Brewing Ratios:
  • Single Serving: 10 ounces water, 20 grams coffee.
  • Double Serving: 20 ounces water, 40 grams coffee.
• Bloom Phase: Approximately 40 grams of water (or 2 times the amount of coffee used) for 30 seconds.
• Pouring Time: An additional 2:30-3 minutes after the bloom phase.
• Dripper Design: Features a sharp, functional edge to hold the gasket in place.

Usage Features:

• Preparation Before Use: All products should be thoroughly washed with dish-washing detergent and a soft sponge.
• Water Temperature Control: Users are instructed to fill a Stagg Kettle (sold separately) and heat water to the recommended brew range of 195-205°F, monitoring with a thermometer.
• Ratio Measurement: The set includes a ratio aid to help measure the correct amount of coffee grounds. For a single serving, 20 grams of coffee (indicated by the single dot on the ratio aid) is recommended.
• Grind Consistency: Coffee should be ground to a medium coarseness.
• Dripper Preparation: A filter is placed in the dripper, wet with hot water to pre-warm the dripper and remove any paper taste from the filter. The tasting glass is also pre-warmed and then emptied.
• Coffee Bed Flattening: After adding coffee grounds to the dripper using the ratio aid funnel, the dripper should be lightly shaken to flatten the coffee bed.
• The Bloom: The initial pour involves pouring about 40 grams of water (twice the coffee amount) at the center of the dripper, working outwards, and then waiting 30 seconds for the coffee to "bloom" and release CO2.
• The Perfect Pour: Following the bloom, pouring continues evenly from the center outwards in a circular path for an additional 2:30-3 minutes, until the coffee level reaches 10 oz or the double-to-single wall connection line on the Stagg Tasting Glass. The dripper is then placed on the ratio aid to catch drips.
• Safety Precautions:
  • Always check for missing parts, cracks, chips, dents, or abnormalities before use.
  • Keep the pour-over set away from children during brewing.
  • When brewing with hot water, the dripper's edges can become hot; use caution or an oven mitt if necessary.
  • Be cautious when placing the dripper on mugs or carafes to prevent it from falling over and causing burns.
  • Tasting glasses should be handled with care on hard surfaces to prevent chipping or cracking.
  • Do not use metal spoons in glassware, as this may cause the inner wall to break.
  • Avoid placing ice in glassware before liquid, as this may also cause the inner wall to break.
  • Do not use glassware with cracks or scratches, as it may break unexpectedly.
  • Do not let children use glass products.
  • Take care when removing the gasket from the dripper due to its sharp edge.
  • Only use the dripper for extracting/steeping/brewing coffee.
  • To dispose of filters, flip the dripper upside down into a compost bin to release the used filter and coffee.

Maintenance Features:

• Cleaning: Both glasses and the dripper are dishwasher safe (top rack). For handwashing, use only dish-washing detergent and a soft sponge.
• Chemical Avoidance: Do not use chlorine, bleach, or other harsh chemicals for cleaning.
• Drying: Allow products to air dry or towel dry thoroughly.
• Surface Protection: Avoid using coarse sponges, brushes, or rough surfaces, as these can scratch the finish of the dripper and the glassware. Always use a soft sponge.
• Corrosion Treatment: If corrosion is discovered in the dripper, apply compounding polish with a soft sponge, rub inside the product, and rinse thoroughly.
• Filter Recommendation: While other filters may work, the manufacturer recommends using Stagg [x] Pour-Over Filters with Stagg [x] Dripper for optimal performance.
