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.

Glossary2
- 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.
