Rinse thoroughly and dry. Place the filter dripper on top of the carafe. Add medium-coarse ground coffee (typically 15-20g per cup) to the filter. Heat water to about 92-96°C. First, pour a small amount of water over the grounds to let them bloom for 30 seconds. Then slowly pour water in circular motions, allowing it to drip through completely. The entire process takes 3-5 minutes. Start with a 1:15 coffee-to-water ratio and adjust based on your taste preference. The silicone sleeve provides grip and some heat retention during brewing.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"What grind size should I use for pour over coffee?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"For pour over brewing, use a medium to medium-coarse grind, similar to sea salt texture. If your grind is too fine, water will drip very slowly, taking 30+ minutes and resulting in over-extracted, bitter coffee that turns cold. If too coarse, water passes too quickly, giving you weak, under-extracted coffee. Most Indian households using blade grinders should pulse for short bursts to avoid powder-fine consistency. If you notice your brew taking longer than 5-6 minutes for a full carafe, your grind is too fine. Burr grinders give more consistent results. The right grind ensures proper extraction in 3-5 minutes while the coffee stays hot.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Do I need a special kettle for pour over coffee, or can I use any regular kettle?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"You can use any kettle to heat water for pour over coffee, but a gooseneck kettle gives you better control over the pour rate and accuracy. With a regular kettle, pour slowly and carefully in circular motions to evenly saturate the coffee grounds. The key is consistent, controlled pouring rather than dumping all the water at once. If you're serious about pour over brewing, a gooseneck kettle (electric or stovetop) helps achieve cafe-quality results by letting you direct water precisely where needed. For beginners, a regular kettle works fine—just pour slowly and steadily from the centre outward in spirals.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"How much coffee and water should I use in the 800 ML carafe?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"For a full 800 ML carafe, use approximately 50-55 grams of coffee grounds with 800 ML of water (1:15 ratio). This makes about 3-4 servings. For smaller quantities, follow the golden ratio: 1 gram of coffee for every 15-17 ML of water. For two cups (400 ML), use 25-27 grams of coffee. Start with these measurements and adjust based on your taste—use more coffee for stronger brew, less for milder. Indian palates often prefer slightly stronger coffee, so you might settle on a 1:14 ratio. Remember to account for some water absorption by the grounds, so you'll get slightly less than 800 ML of finished coffee.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"What is borosilicate glass and why is it used for the carafe?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Borosilicate glass is a special type of glass that can withstand rapid temperature changes without cracking or shattering. Unlike regular glass, it has low thermal expansion, making it ideal for hot beverages. The InstaCuppa carafe can handle freshly brewed hot coffee (around 90-95°C) without breaking. It's also more durable against accidental knocks compared to regular glass. Borosilicate is non-porous and won't absorb coffee oils or odours, keeping your coffee tasting fresh every time. It's a food-grade material commonly used in laboratory glassware and premium kitchenware. The clear glass also lets you see the coffee level and appreciate the brewing process visually.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Is the stainless steel filter reusable, and does it filter as well as paper filters?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Yes, the stainless steel filter is completely reusable and eliminates the need for disposable paper filters, saving money and reducing waste. It allows more coffee oils to pass through, resulting in fuller-bodied, richer-tasting coffee compared to paper filters. However, it may let through some fine sediment, giving you a slightly different texture than paper-filtered coffee. Some people prefer this fuller taste, while others like the cleaner cup from paper. The metal filter is easy to rinse and reuse immediately. Over time, this saves significantly on paper filter costs. You can also use paper filters in addition if you prefer, but the stainless steel filter is designed to work perfectly on its own.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"What is the purpose of the silicone sleeve on the carafe?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"The silicone sleeve serves multiple practical purposes. First, it provides a comfortable, non-slip grip when handling the hot carafe, protecting your hands from heat. Second, it cushions the glass against minor impacts and reduces the risk of breakage if you accidentally bump it against your counter or sink. Third, it adds a layer of thermal insulation, helping keep your coffee warm slightly longer than bare glass. The sleeve is removable for easy cleaning and can be washed separately. It's made from food-grade silicone that won't absorb odours or stains. This thoughtful addition makes daily use more convenient and extends the life of your carafe.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"How do I clean the stainless steel filter properly?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"After each use, tap out the used coffee grounds into your compost or trash. Rinse the stainless steel filter immediately under running water, using your fingers or a soft brush to remove grounds from the mesh holes. For weekly deep cleaning, soak the filter in warm water with a drop of dish soap for 15-20 minutes, then scrub gently with a soft brush. Avoid abrasive scrubbers that might damage the mesh. If coffee oils build up over time, soak in a solution of equal parts water and white vinegar for 30 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Ensure the filter is completely dry before storing to prevent any metallic taste. Regular cleaning prevents clogging and maintains optimal flow rate.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Is the glass carafe dishwasher safe?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"While borosilicate glass is generally dishwasher-safe due to its heat resistance, we recommend hand washing the carafe to extend its life and maintain clarity. Hand washing prevents potential etching or cloudiness that can develop from harsh dishwasher detergents over time. Simply wash with warm soapy water and a soft sponge. For stubborn coffee stains, use a mixture of baking soda and water or white vinegar. The wide opening makes hand washing easy. The silicone sleeve should definitely be hand washed as dishwasher heat can degrade silicone over time. The stainless steel filter is best hand washed as well to prevent grounds from clogging your dishwasher and to ensure thorough cleaning of the mesh.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"How do I remove coffee stains and buildup from the glass carafe?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"For regular stains, fill the carafe with warm water and add a tablespoon of baking soda. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes, then scrub with a soft bottle brush or sponge and rinse thoroughly. For tougher buildup, use white vinegar: fill the carafe halfway with equal parts vinegar and water, let it soak for 30 minutes, then scrub and rinse. You can also use a few drops of lemon juice with warm water for natural cleaning. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scrubbers that might scratch the glass. Regular cleaning after each use prevents stubborn stains from forming. The borosilicate glass won't absorb stains, so surface stains clean off easily with the right method.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"My coffee is taking too long to brew and coming out cold. What's wrong?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"This is typically caused by coffee grounds that are too fine, which clogs the stainless steel filter and slows water flow to a trickle. Switch to a medium-coarse grind size—similar to sea salt texture. If you've been using the same grind, the filter may need deep cleaning as coffee oils build up over time and reduce flow rate. Soak the filter in hot water with vinegar (equal parts) for 30 minutes, then scrub thoroughly with a brush to clear the mesh holes. Also check that you're not overfilling the filter with coffee grounds, which restricts water flow. Pour over should take 3-5 minutes total. If it takes 30+ minutes, the issue is definitely grind size or filter clogging. Regular filter cleaning prevents this problem.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Why does my pour over coffee taste bitter or too strong?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Bitter coffee usually indicates over-extraction, which happens when water contacts grounds for too long or water temperature is too high. If your brewing takes longer than 5-6 minutes, use a coarser grind to speed up flow. Check your water temperature—it should be 92-96°C, not boiling (100°C). Boiling water extracts harsh, bitter compounds. Also review your coffee-to-water ratio; you might be using too much coffee. Start with 1:15 ratio (15 ML water per gram of coffee) and adjust. Make sure you're pouring evenly across all grounds rather than repeatedly over the same spot. Finally, ensure your stainless steel filter is clean, as old coffee oil residue can add bitter flavours to fresh brews.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"The stainless steel filter seems to be getting clogged even after cleaning. How do I fix this?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Coffee oils naturally build up in the fine mesh over time and regular rinsing may not be enough. Do a deep descaling treatment: make a solution of equal parts white vinegar and hot water, submerge the filter completely, and let it soak for at least one hour (or overnight for severe clogging). Use an old soft toothbrush to gently scrub the mesh on both sides while submerged. For extremely stubborn buildup, make a paste of baking soda and water, apply it to the mesh, let sit for 10 minutes, then scrub and rinse. Some users also boil the filter in water with a spoon of baking soda for 10 minutes. This monthly deep-clean routine keeps flow rate optimal and prevents the slow-drip problem.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"How is pour over coffee different from French press or filter coffee?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Pour over gives you more control over the brewing process and produces a cleaner, brighter cup compared to French press. French press allows coffee oils and fine particles into your cup, creating fuller body but sometimes sludgy texture. Pour over with the stainless steel filter offers a middle ground—more body than paper-filtered coffee, cleaner than French press. Compared to traditional South Indian filter coffee (decoction method), pour over is faster and uses less coffee for similar strength. Pour over highlights the coffee's individual flavour notes better, making it ideal for specialty beans. It requires more attention during brewing but many coffee enthusiasts find the ritual enjoyable. The 800 ML carafe makes it practical for serving multiple people unlike single-serve pour over cones.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Who is this pour over coffee maker best suited for?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"This is ideal for coffee enthusiasts who want cafe-quality coffee at home without expensive machines. It's perfect for those who appreciate the brewing ritual and want control over their coffee's taste. If you enjoy specialty or single-origin beans and want to taste their distinct flavours, pour over is excellent. The 800 ML capacity works well for couples or small families, or for individuals who want to brew once for multiple cups. It's also great for people wanting to eliminate disposable paper filters and reduce waste with the reusable stainless steel filter. Not recommended for those wanting push-button convenience or making coffee in a rush. It requires 5-7 minutes of attention but rewards you with exceptional coffee. Also perfect for home offices or small workplaces.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Can I use this for making tea as well, or is it only for coffee?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"While this is designed specifically for pour over coffee, you can technically use it for loose leaf tea by placing tea leaves in the stainless steel filter and pouring hot water through. However, the mesh size is optimized for medium-coarse coffee grounds, so very fine tea leaves might pass through or clog the filter. It works better for larger leaf teas than dust or CTC tea common in India. For tea, you might get better results using a dedicated tea infuser. The glass carafe itself is excellent for serving any hot beverage and the borosilicate glass won't absorb coffee or tea flavours. If you primarily want to make tea, consider a product designed for that purpose. This excels at pour over coffee specifically.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"What warranty does InstaCuppa provide on this pour over coffee maker?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"InstaCuppa offers a 1-year warranty on manufacturing defects for this pour over coffee maker.

Is this a common problem?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Filter clogging after extended use happens when coffee oils and fine particles build up in the stainless steel mesh, but this is preventable with proper maintenance, not a product defect. The reviewer mentioned 30+ minute brew times, which indicates grind size was too fine and\/or the filter wasn't being deep-cleaned regularly. After each use, rinse the filter immediately and weekly do a deep clean by soaking in hot water with white vinegar for 30 minutes, then scrubbing with a soft brush. This dissolves oil buildup and keeps mesh holes clear. Also ensure you're using medium-coarse grind, not fine powder. With proper care—immediate rinsing after use and weekly deep cleaning—the filter maintains optimal flow rate indefinitely. Many users have used similar filters for years without clogging issues when maintained correctly.\"}}]}\u003c\/script\u003e","brand":"InstaCuppa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39479687053390,"sku":"InstaCuppa_PourOver_CoffeeMaker","price":2499.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2222\/2441\/products\/InstaCuppa-Pour-Over-Drip-Coffee-Maker-with-Borosilicate-Glass-Carafe_-Stainless-Steel-Filter-Dripper_-Silicone-Sleeve-for-Extra-Protection_-800-ML-35547483.png?v=1755853156","url":"https:\/\/instacuppastore.com\/products\/pour-over-drip-coffee-maker-borosilicate-glass-carafe","provider":"InstaCuppa Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
