One pack holds 64 tea filters with string, so you can brew 64 cups of tea with it.

The filters are single use: you fill one for a cup, let the tea brew and throw the bag away afterwards. If you drink several cups a day, or serve tea in a tearoom or lunchroom, it is handy to order a few packs at once. Store the packs somewhere dry and away from strongly scented products, so the paper keeps its neutral smell.

Plan on a fresh cartridge every four weeks. The BRITA Memo in the lid counts that period down for you and gives a signal as soon as the cartridge is due for replacement, so you do not have to keep track yourself.

If you use the jug heavily or live in a hard water area, you may notice the difference in taste slightly sooner. Rinse a new MAXTRA+ cartridge briefly under cold running water before fitting it and discard the first two jugs of filtered water, as BRITA advises. Then restart the Memo so the counter runs in step with your fresh cartridge again.

Yes, the jug and the funnel can go straight into the dishwasher. Only the lid stays out: wash that by hand in warm water with a little washing-up liquid, so the filling flap and the BRITA Memo keep working properly.

Take the MAXTRA+ cartridge out before you load the jug and leave it in a bowl of water in the meantime, so it does not dry out. A dishwasher cycle every now and then keeps your Brita Marella Blue fresh and clear; a quick rinse is fine in between. Let all the parts dry properly before you put the jug back together.

This Hario Buono holds 0.8 litres of water. That is enough for roughly four to six cups of filter coffee in one go, depending on how big your cups are.

The capacity is deliberately modest. You never boil more water than you need, the kettle stays light enough to pour calmly and you keep it nicely balanced while brewing. Do you often make coffee for a bigger group? Then you simply boil a second time.

Yes, every filter has a string, so you can lift the bag out of your cup after brewing without fishing around with a spoon.

That string is exactly why these filters are popular in tearooms, lunchrooms and offices: your guest pulls the bag out themselves and keeps their hands clean. If you do come across a filter where the string is loose or missing, let our customer service know and mention your order number. We will look into that batch and sort it out for you.

The jug itself is dishwasher safe, the lid is not. Take the lid and the cartridge out before you put the Marella in the machine, otherwise you will damage the BRITA Memo indicator.

Clean the lid with warm water and a little mild washing-up liquid, then rinse it well. Do that now and then together with the funnel, so no limescale ring builds up. Avoid scouring pads and aggressive cleaners, because they leave scratches on the plastic. Let every part dry properly before you fit a new cartridge.

Only the colour. The Brita Marella Blue and the white version are otherwise identical: the same 2.4 litre capacity, the same MAXTRA+ cartridge, the same BRITA Memo on the lid and the same PerfectFit technology.

So simply pick the shade that looks best next to your coffee machine or on the table. The cartridges are interchangeable, so if you already have a Marella in another colour at home, the filters fit both jugs. Want more capacity? Both colours are also available as a 3.5 litre XL version.

The narrow, curved spout of the Buono makes the water come out in a thin and controlled stream. That way you decide exactly where the water lands on the coffee bed and how fast it goes in.

With filter coffee that really makes a difference. Pour too fast or too wildly and you dig into the coffee bed, which leaves your coffee thin and uneven. With a calm stream you wet all the grounds evenly and get more flavour out of them. Never spilling next to your dripper again is a nice bonus.

Yes, you can use any loose tea in them: black tea, green tea, white tea, rooibos, herbal tea and fruit blends.

The paper is fine enough to hold back smaller cut leaves and pieces of herbs, while the water still passes through nicely. For large leaf tea that expands a lot, fill the filter only halfway so the leaves have room. Handy detail: because you dose per cup, the Thee filter met touwtje pak 64 stuks lets you switch flavours endlessly and even blend your own, without rinsing out the pot every time.

The Brita Marella takes BRITA MAXTRA+ filter cartridges, and one is included in the box. Thanks to PerfectFit technology the cartridge seals neatly against the funnel, so all of the water really does pass through the filter.

According to BRITA, the newer MAXTRA PRO cartridges also fit jugs made for MAXTRA+, so you can switch over without worrying. Cartridges from other jug systems do not fit. The jug holds 2.4 litres in total, of which 1.4 litres is filtered water, so one cartridge gets you a long way for coffee, tea and simply a nice glass of water.

According to the product description, the Kimbo tasting pack contains four blends of 1 kilo each: Kimbo Espresso Bar, Kimbo Prestige, Kimbo Espresso Bar Premium and Kimbo Espresso Bar Extreme. That adds up to 4 kilos of whole coffee beans.

The idea is simple: instead of committing to one large bag straight away, you get to taste four different characters from the Kimbo range side by side. One blend is rounder and softer, another is stronger and more darkly roasted, so you quickly discover which direction suits you. Always check the current contents on this product page, because a blend can be swapped when something is temporarily out of stock.

As a guideline, brew Peach Bloom with water at around 70 to 80 degrees Celsius and let the leaves steep for 2 to 3 minutes.

This is a blend of green and white tea, and both are far more delicate than black tea. Boiling water scorches the leaves and your cup quickly turns bitter and astringent. No kettle with a temperature setting? Let boiled water cool down for about five minutes, or top it up with a splash of cold water. Prefer a softer cup? Take the leaves out a little sooner. And if you want more peach in your cup, add a bit more tea rather than steeping it longer.

You need V60 paper filters in size 01, the smaller cone that fits this dripper exactly. Size 02 filters are too big: they crumple against the rim and the water runs past the coffee instead of through it.

At Café du Jour you will find them as Hario V60 coffee filters size 01 in white (VCF-01-100W) and in unbleached brown (VCF-01-100M), both in packs of 100. White tastes neutral, brown is unbleached; rinse the filter with hot water first and you will not taste any paper. Fold over the seam of the filter before you place it in the Hario V60 dripper in black glass, size 01.

These whole beans suit any machine that can handle beans: a bean to cup machine, an espresso machine with a built in grinder, or a separate grinder combined with a portafilter.

Kimbo grew up in the espresso bars of Naples, so the blends are at their best as a short, strong espresso and as the base for a cappuccino or latte macchiato. In a bean to cup machine you can simply keep your usual settings. If the result tastes too bitter, move the grind one step coarser. They are no use in a pod or capsule machine, because these are whole beans and not ground coffee.

As a guideline, use about 2 grams of loose tea per 200 ml cup, which is a generous teaspoon.

That means 100 grams of Peach Bloom gives you roughly 40 to 50 cups. Green and white tea are quite airy, so a teaspoon weighs less here than it would with a compact black tea. Making a pot? Use one teaspoon for every cup of water that goes in. If your brew tastes too light, add another half spoon rather than steeping it longer, because a long steep makes the cup bitter rather than stronger.
