Share
If you’re looking for a simple, effective, and low-waste way to brew coffee—at home, on the go, or off-grid—the Steep & Filter® method delivers clean flavour with minimal fuss.
This method was developed to give coffee lovers complete control over flavour, speed, and sustainability using our signature organic cotton reusable coffee filter. No machine. No mess. No plastic waste.
Here’s everything you need to know to brew the perfect cup using the Steep & Filter® method.
☕ What Is the Steep & Filter® Method?
The Steep & Filter® method is a hybrid between full-immersion brewing and traditional pour-over. It involves:
- Steeping fresh coffee grounds in hot water, like a French press or tea.
- Filtering the coffee through a finely woven organic cotton filter for a clean, bright finish.
It’s designed to be:
- Fast and easy (no special equipment required)
- Lightweight and portable (ideal for travel or outdoor use)
- Plastic-free
- Full of flavour, without the sediment or bitterness often found in metal or paper-based brewing methods
🔧 What You’ll Need
Before you begin, gather your gear:
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| ACE Brewer | Soft, reusable, and natural cotton. Durable, high-grade stainless steel. |
| Kettle or pot | Any method to boil water (electric, stovetop, campfire) |
| Ground coffee | Fine grind works best, but the filter is built for all! |
| Brew container | Mug, thermos, or carafe—whatever you’re brewing into |
🔁 Step-by-Step Instructions: The Steep & Filter® Way
1. Grind & Measure Your Coffee
Start with fresh, ground coffee. Use about 10g (roughly 2 tablespoons) of coffee per 250ml (8oz) of water. This ratio gives you a bold, smooth brew that can be diluted to taste if desired.
We never measure! Experiment, taste, tweak. Steep & Filter™ is about freedom, not perfection.
2. Steep Like Tea
Place the coffee grounds directly into your mug, thermos, or brew vessel.
Pour in hot water (195–205°F / 90–96°C) and let the coffee steep for 1 to 3 minutes, depending on how strong you like it.
No fancy gear needed! Just boil your water and steep to taste!
3. Stir & Pour Through Filter
Then, place your ACE Brewer over a second mug or carafe and pour the coffee mixture through. The cotton catches the grounds and filters your brew cleanly and gently—no grit, no bitterness.
The moment you pour, it flows—no waiting, no slow drips. Just clean, fast coffee straight into your cup.
4. Sip, Smile, Repeat
That’s it. You’re done. Enjoy your coffee anywhere—camping, commuting, curled up on the couch—with zero waste and zero compromise.
🧼 Filter Care: Clean in Seconds
Rinse your filter under hot water after use and let it air dry between uses!
With proper care, each filter lasts 8+ months, depending on the frequency of use.
