Make sure the outside of the bowl is dry. I have used the same fine, even grounds for filter coffee in the Cona without producing any sludge in the cup. If you chose to use coarser grinds, compensate by allowing a full 3 minutes infusion when the coffee and water are together in the funnel. When the water in the bowl shows the very first sign of coming to a boil, place the funnel into the bowl and snug the rubber gasket into the bowl neck with a small twist to ensure an air-tight fit. When all the water, with the exception of a small amount which must remain in the bowl, has been drawn into the top, wait 1-3 minutes for the coffee to infuse.
Some people like to give it a stir with a spoon.
Place the snuffer on the lamp. When all the coffee has drained into the bowl, remove the funnel with a slight twist. Than 8 Ounces in Alp. This page is authored by Tom Owen and Sweet Maria's Coffee, Inc. and is not to be copied or reproduced without permission.
