This formula renders a sweet, crisp, vibrant and refreshing result with an elevated perception of body.

  • Open the sealed coffee bag/container gracefully, let the contents aerate for a few seconds, re-seal the bag one day prior to your first brew. This will enable the coffee beans to adjust to their environment after being in storage/transport.   
  • Coffee: 33g.
  • Water: 500g.
  • On the Commandante, at least 28 turns/clicks/rotations from ”zero”, 'starting from the finest’. (This assumes the Comandante is not many years old and turns can be slightly ’off’.)
  • Lock the filter assembly into the bottom of the top chamber and pre-wet the paper filter. 
  • Pour 500ml of water into bottom component and switch the burner on to high. Remember, various heaters can have different effect based on their source, i.e. gas type.
  • Wait for the water to rise to the top chamber and insert the coffee.
  • Stir carefully with a spoon a few moments and rest until 00:30.
  • At 00:30, break the crust and stir very carefully.
  • For the next 2 minutes, monitor the heat to maintain a gentle agitation in the chamber and stay away from aggressive boiling.
  • At 02:30, switch off the burner completely.
  • Stir one last time and the brew should fall to the bottom chamber. Target at total brew time of 3 minutes.
