POINT5: Filter type
Two common types of filters for making drip coffee are introduced below.
Paper filter: The paper absorbs oil and astringency, resulting in a clean flavor. After brewing coffee, simply
discard the entire filter for easy cleanup.
Stainless steel filter: The mesh is metal, which allows brewing of even the oil in the coffee. If you want to
taste the individuality of the beans directly, try using a stainless steel filter. Another advantage is that it is
hygienic and can be used repeatedly because it can be washed with detergent.
POINT6: Steeping time
In order to fully extract the flavorful components of coffee, it is important to allow sufficient steeping time. Wet
the coffee with a small amount of hot water before brewing and allow it to steep slowly. The gas contained in the
coffee is released, causing the coffee to swell. This process allows the coffee and hot water to blend and the
components in the coffee to be extracted more easily.
The same beans can have a different flavor depending on steeping time. With hand drip, a shorter steeping time
produces a relatively light flavor, while a longer steeping time produces a deeper, more robust flavor.

During the brewing process, the steeping process takes about 30 seconds.
POINT7: Temperature for brewing coffee
There are various theories, but the ideal temperature for brewing coffee is around 90°C. If the temperature is too
low it is difficult to extract flavor, and if it is too high, tastes other than umami will appear. This unit allows you to
select the ideal temperature range for the beans, [HIGH TEMP] for light roast and [LOW TEMP] for dark roast.
For hand drip brewing, the temperature of boiled water transferred to a kettle is considered to be just right.

When making decaf
Select [DECAF] with the “COURSE” button to brew at a slow, low temperature specifically for
decaf beans. Please use decaf beans or grounds (this function does not remove caffeine)
POINT 8: Enjoying your coffee
The drinking temperature of coffee should be 68-70°C. If the coffee is cooler than 60°C it is difficult to taste, so
drink the coffee after making it while it is still warm. Warm the cup in advance with boiling water for better taste.
Coffee preferences vary widely. Get the hang of changing the flavor to find your ideal cup.
