Instructions

1. Clean the cafetiere with boiling water. Let the water sit for a minute to heat up the glass so you don’t lose the heat once you start to brew

2. Discard the used water and tip your ground coffee into the cafetiere

3. Fill the cafetiere to the top with water just off the boil and set a timer

4. Give the cafetiere a good stir making sure all the coffee floating and resting on the bottom becomes incorporated

5. Place the plunger gently in the top and leave to brew for 4 minutes

6. Plunge the coffee then pour out to serve
