I Own Coffee

How much coffee do I use? 3 teaspoons or 2 tablespoons?

Also I noticed the filter itself is pretty small, how much coffee does it yield? Is there any way to make a full mug (12 ounces) of coffee using the filter?

1. Put 3 teaspoons or rounded tablespoon of coarsely-ground coffee (about 20 grams) into the Vietnamese coffee maker filter body.
2. Gently shake the coffee to level it, then insert the press and tamp the coffee lightly. Leave the tamping device in place.
3. Pre-heat the cup with boiling water and sit the cup spanner or saucer on top of the empty cup. Sit the coffee filter chamber on the saucer.
4. Pour just 20 ml of boiling water into the filter and leave it until the coffee has absorbed the water. This is the secret step! If all the water is simply poured straight in, weak coffee will flow through the filter with lots of grounds. By allowing the Coffee to swell and absorb the small amount of water first, a good cup is assured.
5. Once the first 20 ml of water has been absorbed, fill the chamber with boiling (not just hot) water and put the lid on to retain heat. Be prepared to wait 4-6 minutes for the water to drain through. Lift the unit to check after 3-4 minutes or use a glass so that the process can be observed. Once the process is finished, the inverted lid can be used to house the messy filter.
