Cap and filter

The perforated cap holds the round paper filter at the end of the chamber. The coffee comes out through it when you press.

Use an AeroPress-size paper filter and rinse it already in the cap.

Glossary 3
Immersion
Brewing method where coffee soaks in water for a set time (Aeropress, Clever, French Press). The opposite of percolation, where water flows through (V60, Chemex).
Agitation
Any action that disturbs the coffee bed (vigorous pour, swirl, stir). More agitation means more extraction. Use sparingly.
Plunge
Pressing down the plunger (Aeropress) or filter (French Press) to separate coffee from grounds. Pressure and speed affect body and bitterness.
