1. Place a trapezoid-shaped paper filter into the dripper.
2. Add ground coffee and pour hot water according to your preferred ratio.
3. Let the coffee steep for the specified time to allow full flavor extraction.
4. Once the time is complete, place the dripper on a cup or serving vessel.
5. The rim of the cup will push the valve open, allowing the brewed coffee to flow automatically into the cup.
6. When the dripper is lifted, the valve will close and stop the flow immediately.
