Press the TIMER button. Gently stir the coffee back and forth to “break
4
the crust.”
TIP: This step allows the coffee to “bloom.” As the coffee grounds steep in the water, a “crust” of grounds will develop on top of the water. This is a sign that the coffee is brewing properly.

CLEANING THE PRECISION PRESS COFFEE MAKER
IMPORTANT: It is critical to thoroughly clean the Precision Press Coffee Maker after each use. The taste of your coffee can be impacted if the carafe and plunger assembly is not thoroughly cleaned of all grounds, coffee oil residue, or soap after each use.
Clean all parts of the Precision Press Coffee Maker by hand only. Allow all parts to cool then lift the plunger lid while tilting to free it from the carafe. Wash with a soft, damp cloth.

CARE AND CLEANING
Next, gently lift the top of the filter assembly to remove the mesh filter disc and the rubber gasket. You will have four separate parts to clean:

the filter top, the rubber gasket, the mesh filter disc, and the filter bottom.

centered and fully seated in position inside the filter disc assembly.
After removing the filter parts from
the plunger, wash each thoroughly
with a soft, damp cloth. Dry with
a soft, dry cloth. Make certain to

TROUBLESHOOTING
If your Precision Press Coffee Maker should fail to operate as expected, please check the following:
- If coffee is too bold: Be sure to serve the coffee immediately after your preferred brew time is complete, or the coffee will continue to extract, making it stronger.
Other possible xes: Grind your coffee at a coarser grind level, and/or steep for less time.
- If coffee is too weak: Either grind your beans to a ner consistency or brew for more time.
- If coffee tastes bitter or unpleasant after use: Taste can be impacted if the Precision Press Coffee Maker isn’t thoroughly cleaned. Make certain that all soap, grounds, and oily residue is thoroughly rinsed off all parts after each use. See the “Care and cleaning” section for more information.
- If there’s too much resistance when plunging your grind may be too ne.
- If there’s too little resistance when plunging your grind may be too coarse.
Do not return the Precision Press Coffee Maker to the retailer, as they do not provide service.
