Brewing Instructions

Step 1 — Measure Your Coffee

Add 14–16g of coffee (approximately 2 tablespoons) into your cup.

Prefer a stronger brew? Add a little extra coffee instead of reducing water.

Step 2 — Heat Your Water

Bring water to a boil, then allow it to rest for 60–90 seconds.

This slight cooling helps avoid bitterness and extracts better flavour from the coffee.

Step 3 — Pour & Bloom

Slowly pour 130–250ml of hot water over the grounds.

For a more balanced cup, try the two-pour method:

• Pour half the water
• Wait 30 seconds for the coffee to bloom
• Add the remaining water

Step 4 — Let It Brew

Allow the coffee to steep undisturbed.

Recommended brew time by roast level:

• Medium Roast → 4 minutes
• Medium-Dark Roast → 3½ minutes
• Dark Roast → Under 3½ minutes

Step 5 — Stir Gently

Once brewed, stir gently 8–10 times to break the crust and evenly blend the flavours.

Step 6 — Strain & Serve

Place your channi over a mug and slowly strain the coffee.

Enjoy it black or add milk and sugar according to your preference.

Pro Tips for a Better Cup

✨ Too gritty?
Use a muslin cloth inside the channi for cleaner filtration.

✨ Tasting too strong or bitter?
Try a slightly coarser grind or reduce brew time.

✨ Want maximum flavour?
Always brew with freshly ground coffee for richer aroma and better taste.

✨ Keep it clean
Wash your channi thoroughly after every brew to prevent old residue from affecting flavour.
