RINSE THE PUCKPUCK
Unclip and set aside the SPLASH FILTER. Unscrew and rinse the two halves of the PUCKPUCK with hot water. Shake off any excess water, ensuring all 4 vent holes are clear (see below). Re-assemble the PUCKPUCK, screwing clockwise to a closed position.

Base vents
ASSEMBLE THE AEROPRESS
Add a paper filter to the filter cap and screw it onto the Aeropress®. Place the Aeropress® onto a jug.
ADD COFFEE
Place 38g medium ground coffee into the Aeropress® on top of the filter and shake to level. Drop the SPLASH FILTER on top of the coffee grounds inside the Aeropress.
ADD THE WATER + ICE
Screw the VESSEL or prepared** mineral water bottle into the PUCKPUCK. Place the combined PUCKPUCK and water vessel on top of the Aeropress®. Add 100g of ice to the vessel, and fill up the remainder with 400ml of water.
**HOW TO PREPARE A MINERAL WATER BOTTLE FOR USE
Grab an Evian or Volvic water bottle or check the website for other compatible options. Decant the water (you can use this later to make your coffee). Carefully cut the base off the bottle with a pair of scissors.
ADJUST YOUR DRIP RATE
Slowly turn the PUCKPUCK in an anti-clockwise direction until you start to see drips coming out of the valve. Adjust the flow rate to around 50 drops per minute for a 2.5 - 3 hr brew time. Feel free to experiment with drip rates to personalise your brew.
CLEANUP
To clean up, simply remove the PUCKPUCK and VESSEL from the Aeropress®.
Give the Aeropress® a tap and carefully unscrew the filter cap, the coffee grounds should come out neatly with the splash filter on top.
Take care to remove the SPLASH FILTER before disposing of the coffee grounds and used paper filter.
Rinse the Aeropress®, filter cap and SPLASH FILTER under warm water.
TROUBLESHOOTING
The drips are stopping!
Make sure you are using ice water. This helps to reduce the size of air bubbles passing through the filter which may interrupt the flow.
The drips are erratic!
Check that the side vent holes are not blocked by water, a quick blow into the holes should fix this. Its taking too long.
note: The drip method can be sensitive to environmental temperatures and humidity so adjust your drip rate to suit a 2.5-3hr brew time.

The grounds are dry when I finish a brew
We would suggest to try pre-wetting the grounds, sometimes with coffee that may be a bit older than 30 days past the roast date the grounds need pre-wetting. Pour about 30-40 ml of water over the grounds first and then remove that amount of water from what you place in the vessel or water bottle.
