    Step-by-Step Guide

    1. 1

      Add 3 tablespoons of S10 coffee powder to the upper chamber of the filter.

    2. 2

      Press down firmly with the pressing disc.

    3. 3

      Pour boiling water to the brim and close the lid.

    4. 4

      Let it drip for 12–15 minutes (or overnight for stronger decoction).

    5. 5

      Mix 2 tbsp decoction with hot milk and sugar to taste.

    6. 6

      Pour between two tumblers (davara) to froth and cool slightly.

    S10 Pro Tip

    For the strongest decoction, use freshly boiled water and let it drip undisturbed. The 80:20 coffee-chicory blend gives the most authentic taste.
