perfect the plunger
  • Coffee should be custom ground for plunger by your Merlo Coffee expert
  • For best results use filtered water
  • Allow one semi-heaped dessert spoon of ground coffee per cup (and in larger plungers, one for the pot)
  • Water should be off the boil for a few seconds (90-92C), so you don’t burn the coffee
  • Fill plunger with water, stir gently, being careful not to touch the glass and beaker (they are more susceptible to breakage at this temp)
  • Plunge immediately
  • Remember: carefully stir, plunge and drink straight away
  • If the grind is ideal it should be firm to plunge - always use one hand to steady the plunger
  • Keeping the spout pointing away from you, and one hand to plunge straight down
  • Warm cups with hot water and pour your coffee
  • Avoid reheating coffee as it may sour
  • Always clean your equipment thoroughly
