Paper filter

The paper holds back the grounds and lets the coffee through when the valve opens. Use a #4 filter, the Clever size.

Fold the bottom and side seams, seat the paper and rinse it before adding coffee.

Glossary 2
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).
Drawdown
The time between the final pour and the end of drainage. Too long suggests grind too fine or a clogged bed; too short, grind too coarse.
