Preheat the coffee filter by pouring hot water over it and then place the base on top of the cup, pot or mug that you intend to fill with delicious coffee. Add two tablespoons of coffee grounds per six ounces of water Slowly begin pouring the hot water into the cone shaped filter in a circular motion, keeping the water level consistent. Allow the coffee grinds to brew and flow through the tight fine mesh bottom and into your cup. When finished, dump the grinds, wash the filter and enjoy your delectable cup of joe. Cleaning Instructions: Once you are done using the coffee brewer, simply rinse it under running water or put it in your dishwasher immediately after use to restrict coffee grinds and oils from clogging. For prolonging its shelf-life, soak the filter in a solution of half white vinegar and half water for 30 minutes or leave the pour over coffee filter in the oven for 4 ~ 5 minutes once a month. The high-temperature roasting can help remove the fine coffee residues in the filter.
