- 1-2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk ((to taste))
- 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon hot water, divided ((about 190-200F))
Instructions

Add ground coffee to the filter chamber, try to spread them evenly inside the chamber. Look underneath to see if there is any loose coffee particles, use your finger to wipe them away (otherwise, they may fall into your cup of coffee). Then gently place the filter chamber over the cup spanner. Do not shake.

It is best to control the amount of coffee and dripping speed so that the brewing process lasts for about 4 minutes. You can adjust the speed by pressing the filter press. Once the filter chamber is empty, place the cap upside down, remove the filter from the glass and place on the cap.
