If you feel the kettle lid is too hard or too easy to remove from the kettle, please follow the steps below to adjust the tension:
- Take the lid off the kettle.
lid tab
- Use a small screwdriver to adjust the three tabs of the kettle lid. If you push in the tab, the lid tension will be lessened and easier to push on and off. If you pull out the tabs the lid will be harder to pull off.
- Adjust the tabs, replace the lid and remove it to see if the adjustment is correct.
- Repeat the step 2 and 3 until you have adjusted the lid to your preference.
Cleaning Your Appliance
- Unplug the appliance and allow kettle to cool down before cleaning.
- Clean the outside of the appliance, including the base with a soft damp cloth.
- Clean the inside of the kettle regularly with a mild dish cleanser or descaler.
- Do not use abrasive cleansers.
- After cleaning, dry the kettle and the base thoroughly.
When mineral scale builds up in your kettle, it can affect temperature consistency and slow down heating time. To ensure optimum performance, Bonavita recommends descaling the kettle when mineral build-up is visible inside the kettle.
Note: Vinegar many not effectively descale the kettle and can be difficult to thoroughly rinse. Vinegar may also leave behind an odor that could affect future uses. Bonavita recommends using a descaler
HOW TO USE DESCALER:
- Follow the instructions on the descaler.
- Pour into kettle.
- Bring solution to boil.
- Let vessel cool for 15 minutes, then discard solution.
- Rinse thoroughly with fresh water
STORAGE
Clean and dry the appliance before storing. Store the kettle in its box or in a clean, dry place. Never wrap the power cord around the kettle. Always use the cord storage on the bottom of the base.
Pour-Over Manual Brew Coffee
Pour-over, or manual brew coffee preparation is a great way to control your
coffee quality.
It does require more time than just flipping a switch, but for many the higher
level of engagement is part of the pleasure of consuming coffee.
Equipment needed:
Brewing manual pour-over method
- Measure 6 ounces of water for each cup you intend to brew. Place measured water in kettle and turn on kettle to heat the water to your desired set temperature.
- Grind two tablespoons of coffee beans per cup.
- Rinse the filter cone, filter, and coffee pot (or whatever you are brewing into) with hot water to preheat them.
- Assemble the filter cone, filter and vessel.
- Once the water reaches the set point pour it into the filter. We recommend starting in the center and pouring in a circular pattern, moving gradually towards the edge of the coffee bed. A slow steady pour allows for even extraction.
Tips:
-
We recommend preheating the filter and cone. Pour a couple of ounces
~60ml of hot water into the filter and discard prior to adding coffee. -
If you have access to a scale you can measure the amount of water while pouring.
-
Pre-wetting the coffee grounds a minute before starting to pour-over helps extraction.
-
Pour-over coffee is ground finer than drip, but not as fine as espresso.
