Rapid Brewer hot concentrate diluted with hot water at 1:2, the strong end of the range OXO recommends for an Americano-style drink. The chamber holds 160 ml per cycle — a long drink comes from concentrate plus dilution, not from a single pass.

Pump

Fits on top and seals the chamber. Unlocked with a quarter turn, each press injects air, and the pressure pushes the water through the coffee.

Pump slowly until the dripping stops.

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).
Plunge
Pressing down the plunger (Aeropress) or filter (French Press) to separate coffee from grounds. Pressure and speed affect body and bitterness.
