Q: 1) Can carafe with coffee in it be reheated in microwave? 2) Can some kind of "gentle" mug warmer be used under carafe while doing the pour-over & afterward to keep coffee warm?
A: Thank you for your questions! We don’t recommend heating the POUR OVER in the microwave or on a mug warmer, especially anything with an open flame, as it’s not designed for direct heat. For reheating, we suggest transferring your coffee to a microwave-safe mug or exploring our double-wall insulated mugs, which help keep your coffee hot for longer. Hope this helps!

Q: I I want to use a paper filter, as well with this, for dual filtration, what size/which one shoud I get? Mellita? Thx!!
A: At Bodum, we pride ourselves on our coffee makers not needing paper filters for a great cup of coffee. Our stainless steel filter is precision cut for optimal filtration, preventing excess residue or grounds in your cup. However, if you prefer to use a paper filter with our Pour Over, the 4 Cup / 17 oz size corresponds roughly to a #2 conical paper filter of any brand. Please note that since our products are designed to be used without paper filters, the sizing may not be exact and the pour-over process may take longer than indicated in the instructions. Enjoy your coffee!

Q: Would it work with a paper filter inside the stainless filter?
A: The included stainless steel filter ensures that the oils from the coffee can transfer to your individual cup for full flavor. A paper filter can be inserted for dual filtration, but it will absorb the oils from the coffee and subtly change the taste.

Q: Would this work for cold brews?
A: Absolutely! When using cold brew we recommend 2 scoops for every 4 ounces you would like to brew. Place the included stopper in the pour-over and place n the fridge for 12-24 hours cover the top of the coffee maker with plastic wrap to ensure the coffee aromas stay in the maker and any other fridge odors stay out. Enjoy!

Q: How fine is the metal mesh? Is it 100% stainless steel and no plastic?
A: The mesh portion of the filter is made of 100% stainless steel. The filter does have 100% BPA Free plastic portions of it but the coffee will filter through the stainless steel portion of the filter only. The We don't have the exact measurement for how fine the mesh is; but if the beans are ground to the recommended medium grind (in between coarse and fine) do not expect to find any grinds in your coffee.

Q: What are the exact directions?.
A: Step 1 Begin by filling the filter with coarsely ground coffee. For each 4 Oz use 1 rounded tbsp or 1 BODUM scoop (included).

Step 3 The Coffee will drip into the borosilicate glass carafe. For the best possible flavor, let it brew for about 4 minutes. Step 4 After the 4-minute brew is complete, remove the filter from the carafe and you are free to enjoy a delicious cup of Pour Over Coffee.
