Troubleshooting
Coffee grounds in the cup
Ensure you are using coarsely ground coffee. Check that the mesh filter is properly seated and undamaged. Press the plunger slowly and steadily.
Plunger is difficult to press
The coffee grounds may be too fine, or too much coffee has been used. Remove the plunger, discard the grounds, and try again with less coffee and a coarser grind. Ensure the plunger assembly is clean and free of debris.
Glass beaker appears cloudy
This is likely due to mineral deposits from water. Soak the beaker in a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and water for a few hours, then wash thoroughly.
