Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Preparation:

   • Gather the Strong Brew, filter papers, medium-fine ground coffee, and a scoop.

2. Assembling:

   • Identify the upper handle section, silicone plunger, storage lid, lower handle, and helix chamber.
   • Align the marks on the helix chamber and lower handle, and twist to assemble.
   • Wet the filter paper and place it in the lower section.

3. Coffee Loading:

   • Add 15g of coffee to the helix chamber, shake to flatten the bed.
   • Add 3x the amount of water as coffee (e.g., 45g), stir, and let it bloom for 30 seconds.

4. Adding Hot Water:

   • Top up with hot water towards the top of the helix chamber, leaving a centimetre at the top.
   • Align the upper section with the helix chamber and press down.

5. Brewing:

   • Allow it to brew for the desired time.

6. Plunging:

   • After brewing, apply downward pressure and start twisting for 30 seconds.
   • If water seepage occurs, release pressure, and slowly start plunging again without reversing.

7. Finishing:

   • As you approach the bottom of the plunge, listen for the air pressure release, and stop.
   • Shake the Strong Brew to prevent drips and enjoy your coffee as a short black or top up for a longer coffee.
