Gently stir the coffee for 5 seconds.
Insert the plunger slightly to create a seal and let the coffee steep until the timer reaches 2 minutes.

Carefully invert the entire brewer so it sits on the mug, then press the plunger slowly and steadily for around 30 seconds.
Stop pressing when you hear a gentle hiss.
