2. COFFEE GRIND & RATIO
Fill the Coffee Basket with medium to medium-fine grind coffee. Make sure that the Coffee Basket is at the very bottom of the Glass Carafe.
Hot tip: Light and medium roasts taste delicious with Simpli Press.
The Coffee Grind
We recommend Medium to Medium-Fine Coffee Grind.
This is the grind that is also popular with most pour-overs and the consistency of sand.
COFFEE & RATIO
When using a scale, we recommend starting with a 1:15 Coffee to Water Ratio.
When using the premeasured lines of the Coffee Basket and Glass Carafe:
Fill coffee to the lower line of Coffee Basket and water to the lower line of Glass Carafe;Fill coffee to the Max line of Coffee Basket and water to the Max line of Glass Carafe.
Fill just below the premeasured lines.
Consider these lines as your baseline and please do adjust to your preference.

The Press
Press down slowly into the Coffee Basket.
Stop right at the top of the Coffee Basket, then gently press into the Coffee Basket.
Empty out some of the brew, then press down again.
Remember, a little press goes a long way!Hot tip: If you face any resistance while pressing, simply lift the plunger up and back down again. NEVER force the filter down. Doing so can cause the hot brew to spurt up.
The Pour
Pour out the brew first, then press some more, then pour some more.
Completely empty out the carafe before lifting the Coffee Basket for cleaning.Hot tip: Pour the Coffee out into your cups or another container to avoid over-extraction.

Pop the Filter Ring out and wash in between; Use the cleaning brush to clean inside of the filter and the screens.
