As a starting point, we recommend a 1:14 coffee-to-water ratio—that’s where our
ratio lines are set—but dialing in your preferred cup takes practice and
experimentation! For lighter roasted coffee, we recommend a 1:12 while dark
roast flavor notes shine at 1:15.
1. Remove the lid.
2. Using the
ratio aid lines,
fill coarse
grounds to the coffee line (60 grams).
3. Fill 195°F–205°F water to the water
line (840 grams).
5. Set the
enhanced mesh filter
just above
the water level and put the lid back on.
Press down slightly (around 1 cm) to make
sure the blooming coffee is submerged.
6. Sit tight for four minutes.
7. Plunge!
8. Now, pour that good stuff straight into
your favorite mug. If you don’t want
to drink it all at once, Clara’s
heat-lock
double-wall vacuum
will keep your
coffee warm.
9. When you’re done, rinse Clara with
warm soapy water and watch the grinds
slide right out thanks to the
easy clean
non-stick coating
.
4. Put that
agitation stick
to work!
Stir for 30 seconds making sure to reach
the bottom and sides of Clara to break
up any clumps. Agitation disperses the
coffee grounds for even extraction and
balanced flavors.
