Product Information
Core Craft: Understanding Made in TSUBAME
Made in TSUBAME is one of the manufacturer’s marks on this dripper. Identify its stainless-steel construction together with the model and matching Wave filter size. Japanese metalworking and surface finishing also contribute to the appearance of the equipment.
Preheating and Daily Use of the Stainless-Steel Dripper
This stainless-steel dripper combines the Wave flat-bottom, three-hole structure with its matching paper filter. Practise with a fixed recipe and observe the results of changes in grind and pouring.
1. Preheating and Preparation: Fit the matching Wave filter, rinse it with hot water to wet the paper and preheat the equipment, then discard the rinse water before adding coffee.
Before brewing, rinse the filter and preheat the dripper with hot water. Discard the rinse water, add the coffee and follow your recipe for blooming and staged pouring.
Adjusting Flavour: Start with a fixed dose and water amount, then change grind size, pouring rhythm or water temperature one at a time, recording the recipe that suits your coffee.
2. Cleaning and Storage: Discard the grounds and filter after brewing, wash with a soft sponge and mild detergent, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid hard impacts and abrasive cleaning tools.
