Brewing Stovetop

Stovetop method:

With almost 100 years of history, the stovetop brewer is a classic for a reason. Straightforward to use with delicious results, here’s our go to Stovetop method. 

You will need:

  • Stovetop coffee maker
  • Water
  • Coffee
  • A stove!

Let’s get brewing!

Step One:

Grind your coffee fine to medium-fine, this will be a little coarser than espresso, similar to table salt.

Step Two:

Fill the basket with coffee to the top. Lightly tap to distribute the coffee.

Step Three:

Fill hot water to just below the valve. Hot water is best, as cold water will lower your initial extraction temperature and result in a loss of flavour.

Step Four:

Drop the basket into the base chamber and attach the top.

Step Five:

Place on your stove at a low-medium setting, and allow to brew. Water will rise through the coffee and into the top chamber. Be patient, as this will take time!

Step Six: 

Your brew is complete when you hear sputtering. Take your brewer off the stove immediately at this point and rinse the base under cold water to stop extraction.

Step Seven:

Transfer your coffee to your favourite mug and enjoy.
