Before Initial Use
1. Remove all packaging materials and any possible protective
films used for protection during transportation.
2. Before you first enjoy your freshly brewed coffee, we
recommend cleaning the coffee jug, the filter cone and
the other components to remove any possible production
residues.To do this, follow the instructions in the “Cleaning
and Care” chapter.
Setup Options
The product offers various setup options. On the one hand, the
filter cone can be used with or without a base. On the other,
the stand can be set up vertically or horizontally. Just as you like
it best and to match the design and style of your kitchen.

EN 30
Tip:
for a single cup of coffee, you
can also place the filter cone
with its base directly on your
favourite cup.
No matter which setup variant you decide on, you should pay
attention to the following.
• Always place the coffee jug on the silicone mat.This not
only protects your furniture, but also ensures that the coffee
jug has a non-slip base.
• Regardless of whether the stand is positioned vertically or
horizontally, you insert the silicone ring in the corresponding
recess in the stand.This provides stability and also protects
the filter cone.
Setup
1. Place the stand on a dry, stable, level and water-resistant
surface.
2. Place the silicone mat on or under the base of the stand,
depending on the setup variant.
3. Place the coffee jug on the silicone mat.

31 EN
4. Place the silicone ring in the corresponding opening of
the stand. Make sure that the wide side of the silicone ring
points upwards and that the groove completely surrounds
the edge of the stand.
5. Depending on how you want to make your coffee, remove
the base from the filter cone or attach it to the cone.When
inserting it, make sure that it clicks audibly into place.
6. Depending on the setup variant, place the filter cone on or
in the recess in the stand.
Brewing Coffee
The preparation of pour-over coffee is about more than just
a quick coffee from time to time.There’s a whole philosophy
behind the term. It’s all about taking time to enjoy the
preparation and the freshly brewed coffee to the full. Pour-over
preparation requires a little care, but don’t worry – with our
help and a little practice you’ll get the hang of it quickly!
You’ll find tips on dosage and preparation in our “Tips for
the Perfect Pour-over Coffee” on the following pages.
1. Place a paper filter in the filter cone.
For best results we recommend our BEEM Pour Over Paper
Filters 100 pcs – Size 2. The natural filter bags are not
bleached and are therefore free from artificial substances, so
that the taste of your coffee is not negatively affected. Due to
their pointed shape they adapt wonderfully to the filter cone and
ensure that everything stays in place.They also have a small tab
that makes it easier for you to open the filter bag.The paper
filters can be obtained from selected specialist stockists, directly

EN 32
via our website www.beem.de or from our customer service
department on request.
2. Boil water and use it to moisten the paper filter.The hot
water causes the paper filter to lose its own taste and the
coffee filter and the coffee pot are preheated.
3. Pour hot water into your favourite cup and preheat it.
4. Pour the water out of the coffee jug.
5. Fill the paper filter with the desired amount of freshly
ground coffee.
We recommend 15 g of ground coffee per 250 ml of
water.You will find more information on this in the next
chapter.
6. Leave the boiled water to cool to 92 to 96 °C before pour-
ing it over the coffee powder.
7. Pour only enough water over the coffee powder so that it
can swell up, and then allow it to rest for about 30 seconds.
8. Now slowly and evenly pour the desired amount of water
over the coffee powder in circular movements.The amount
of water in the filter cone should be the same for the entire
brewing time of about 2 ½to 4minutes.
9. After all the water has passed through the filter cone, take
the coffee jug out of the stand and close it with the lid.
10. Pour the water out of your preheated cup.
11. Now you can pour the coffee directly from the coffee jug.
Enjoy the perfect cup of coffee!

Tips for the Perfect Pour-over Coffee
Not all coffee is the same.The taste depends on many different
factors - from the method of preparation via the utensils used
to the coffee beans themselves.
The pour-over method is particularly suitable for bringing the
best out of the valuable ingredients and taste of the coffee
beans. Below we have summarised a few of the most important
basics for making coffee.
The Type of Coffee
• Even if many factors play a role in the success of the perfect
coffee during pour-over preparation, the most important in-
gredient is of course the coffee bean itself.The taste differs
according to the type of coffee, the soil on which the coffee
was grown, the growing region and climate, and the roasting
process to which the coffee beans were subjected.
• With pour-over coffee the rule is: quality and not quantity!
In particular because the coffee prepared with this
technique is best enjoyed pure, without milk or sugar, it
is worthwhile spending a little more when choosing your
coffee beans.We recommend gently roasted, light varieties,
as they contain few bitter substances and their own taste is
therefore particularly well preserved.

EN 34
Grinding
• Coffee loses its aroma quickly after grinding.To get the best
out of the coffee beans, we recommend that you grind them
just before brewing – preferably by hand.The advantage of
manual coffee mills is that the grinding mechanism can usually
be adjusted steplessly and therefore more precisely, and the
coffee mill can also be cleaned more conveniently, making it
easy to switch between different types of coffee.
• The degree of grind is one of the decisive factors. If it is too
fine, the water takes too long to percolate through, which
involves a longer brewing time. If the grind is too coarse, the
brewing time is too short because the water passes through
too quickly.A medium grind is therefore recommended for
the pour-over method.The grain size of conventional table
salt can serve as a model. If you want to be on the safe
side, let a barista of your choice grind a small portion of the
beans and use this as a comparison when grinding at home.
Dosage
• To obtain a successful result, you should keep a very close
eye on the ratio of coffee powder to water. If the water
content predominates, the coffee loses its taste. If you use
too much coffee powder, the coffee becomes too strong.
We recommend 15 g coffee per 250 ml water. Of course,
tastes vary from person to person, so you need to get to
know your own ideal ratio.
The kitchen scales not only make dosing easier for be-
ginners, but are also used by experienced baristas.With
the help of these you can weigh the quantities of coffee
powder and water very precisely and so ensure the ideal
ratio between the two ingredients.

35 EN
Water
• Along with the coffee beans, water is the main component
of your coffee.You should therefore make sure that the
quality of the water you use for brewing your coffee is
good. Since tap water is often too hard, we recommend
that you use filtered water. For a particularly fine taste you
can also use still mineral water. Here, too, you should exper-
iment, because not every mineral water tastes the same.
• In addition to the water quality, the water temperature is
also decisive for the taste of your coffee. For best results,
pour water at a temperature between 92 and 96 °C over
the freshly ground coffee. Always avoid brewing the coffee
with boiling water! If the water is too hot, valuable ingredi-
ents in the coffee powder can burn, which makes the coffee
bitter.
You can do this stylishly and elegantly using our BEEM Pour
Over Kettle with Thermometer.The kettle can be used on
any hob (gas, electric, ceramic glass, induction) and holds up to
0.5 l of water.The thermometer in the lid shows you exactly how
hot the water inside is.This means you always have the optimum
temperature for enjoying the perfect cup of coffee.The curved,
filigree spout of the kettle maintains the water at the right
temperature and ensures exactly the right dosage.The kettle
can be obtained from selected specialist stockists, directly via our
website www.beem.de or from our customer service department
on request.

EN 36
Brewing the Coffee
• The way in which the coffee powder is infused in the pour-
over method is the special feature and also the secret of
this method of preparation.With conventional filter coffee
machines, the water drips centrally onto the coffee powder,
which results in unused coffee powder settling on the sides
because the powder in the middle swells up. In modern
coffee preparation, on the other hand, the entire coffee
powder is infused with water in circular movements.This
makes the coffee significantly more aromatic, because all the
coffee powder can be infused and develop its full potential.
• The brewing process is divided into two different phases:
the swelling (“blooming”) and infusion.The blooming of
the coffee powder is essential for the development of
the flavours.The coffee powder is first moistened with a
small amount of water (just enough to cover it) and left to
bloom for 30 to 40 seconds.Then the infusion follows. For
this purpose, water is continuously poured over the coffee
powder. It is important to keep a constant water level in the
filter cone. But don’t worry – if you have poured too much
water into the filter cone too quickly, just wait until some
water has passed through and the desired level has been
reached again.Then you can continue pouring.The optimum
brewing time is between 2 ½and 4 minutes.Test how
much time is best suited for you and your coffee.

37 EN
Paper Filters
• The choice of paper filter should not be underestimated.
The paper filter thickness can affect the aroma of the coffee.
The thinner the paper filter, the fewer particles of the paper
filter get into your coffee and the more permeable it is to
the coffee aromas.
• In addition, you should always moisten the paper filter
before filling it with freshly ground coffee powder.The hot
water causes the paper filter to lose its own taste and the
coffee filter and the coffee pot are preheated.
Utensils
• There are many useful utensils to help you make the perfect
pour-over coffee. Depending on the type of coffee and the
material used, the filter cone can also make a decisive differ-
ence when brewing pour-over coffee.We recommend filter
cones made of glass or porcelain. Not only do they look
stylish, they are also easy to clean. Porcelain filter cones can
even withstand intensive cleaning in the dishwasher! With
the right care they will give you years of service.
Would you like to experiment with different filter cones made of
different materials? Then our BEEM Pour Over Coffee Filter
Cones with or without Base are ideal. No matter whether you
wish to treat yourself to a moment of pleasure at home or spoil
your guests with an aromatic cup of coffee - with these filter
cones for up to 4 cups of coffee you have the perfect solution
for every situation at hand.The pattern inside the filter cones
promotes the water flow through the coffee powder due to the
arrangement of the diamond shapes.The porcelain filter cones

EN 38
with and without base are available in selected specialist shops,
directly via our website www.beem.de or on request via our
customer service.
As you can see, in the preparation of pour-over coffee there are
many variables that can influence the final result.Therefore it is
important for you to enjoy the process of experimentation until
you have found the perfect mixture for you.
Cleaning and Care
NOTICES
• Do not use any toxic, corrosive or abrasive cleaning
agents or scouring sponges to clean the product.This
might damage the surfaces.
1. Make sure that all components have cooled down sufficiently
before you clean them.
2. Empty the coffee jug and the filter cone completely.
3. Remove the lid from the coffee jug.
4. If necessary, remove the filter cone from its base.
5. Wipe the base and stand with a damp cloth.
6. Rinse the underside of the lid with warm water. If necessary,
use a little mild detergent to remove any stubborn residues.
7. Clean the coffee jug, filter cone, silicone mat and silicone
ring with warm water and a mild detergent.

39 EN
The filter cone can be cleaned in the dishwasher. However,
we recommend manual cleaning, as frequent cleaning in
the dishwasher can make the glass brittle and milky due to
the high temperature.
Storage
• Before storing the components you should clean them again
(see the “Cleaning and Care” chapter) to avoid possible
mould formation. Mould can cause spots and damage on the
product that can no longer be removed / repaired.When
all the components are fully dry, store them in a dry, clean,
frost-free place that is protected from direct sunlight and
cannot be accessed by children or animals.
• This product is a real eye-catcher! Instead of storing it in
the cupboard, you can also display it visibly in your kitchen
for decorative purposes. Make sure that you choose a place
where the product is protected from children and animals.
And don’t forget to clean all the ingredients before re-using
them – you don’t want any dust in your coffee.
