PRO TIPS
For storage: Wash out brewer immediately after brewing with hot water and mild soap. Dry out all components. Then push plunger all the way through so plunger rubber is not compressed. (over time the rubber will deform if left compressed, and not form as tight of a seal)
For a weaker brew, add more water on step 8. For stronger, add less.
If the plunger has a lot of resistance in step 7, grind slightly courser. If it has very little resistance and the coffee is weak, grind finer.
