Place 2-4 tablespoons coffee or tea in the mug (medium grind works best). If desired, add cream and/or sugar.

Pour hot (not boiling) water to within one inch of the top, just below the top of the handle.

Insert plunger into mug so that it rests on top of the grounds. Snap lid in place and push plunger down 1/2". Wait 4 minutes for coffee or tea to steep.

Depress plunger fully. Drink directly from the unit or pour into cups. Enjoy a great cup of coffee or tea!
