How to Put Together a Pyrex Glass Coffee Pot
Pyrex glass coffee pots are attractive, heat-safe vessels for making coffee. Whether you’ve just purchased one or have been using it for a while, piecing it together can be easy! Here are the steps you need to take:
Assembling the Base
- Line the bottom of the pot with the filter. Put the circular paper filter in the pot and make sure it’s snugly lined. If you don’t use a filter, skip this step.
- Reserve the handle next. Make sure the handle is resting on the lip of the pot. This will ensure it’s securely attached.
- Screw on the lid. Make sure it’s tightly fastened, but don’t over-tighten it as this could damage the pot.
Preparing the Pot for Brewing
- Measure your desired amount of ground coffee. Depending on your preference and the size of your pot, the amount of grounds you’ll need will vary.
- Add the ground coffee into the filter. Once you have your desired amount, add it to the pot via the filter.
- Any additional ingredients. If you’re making flavored coffee or anything other than plain, add in any necessary ingredients.
Brewing the Pot
Finally, it’s time to brew the pot!
- Fill the pot with hot water. It’s best to use filtered or distilled water. Fill up the pot to the desired level. It’s important to not overfill the pot or it could cause it to break.
- Strengthen or weaken the brew. Depending on taste preferences, it’s good to experiment with varying amounts of ground coffee as this will alter the strength of the brew.
- Bring the pot to a boil. Place the pot on a stove burner and turn it to high. When you start to see bubbles forming and steam coming out the top, it’s time to turn the temperature down.
- Pour and enjoy. After about 5-7 minutes of boiling, your pot of coffee should be finished. Pour it into your favorite mug and enjoy!
Putting together a Pyrex glass coffee pot is easy! With these steps, you will be able to rest assured that you pot is safe, secure, and ready to craft your favorite cup of Joe.
