SteepShot is a great experimentation tool. You can play around with grind size, brewing time, how much water you use, different filters, how much coffee you use and agitation.
To get you started, here’s the recipe we use:
- Metal filter (included)
- 14 g. Coffee, finely ground
- 2 dl. (max level) Boiling water
- 30 seconds brewing time
This is the recipe we swear by, but it all boils down to personal taste. Whether you like your coffee stronger or milder or perhaps you prefer the mouthfeel a paper filter gives you? (All types of Aeropress-size filters fit SteepShot). You might like the body and depth of a longer brewing time, or the clarity of a shorter one. With SteepShot, it’s up to you.Our friend Tim has kindly offered to further explain how to use the SteepShot in this video.
The important thing to remember when brewing with SteepShot is that the water needs to be hot; at least 90 degrees Celsius. Without steam, there’s no pressure, which means no shooting.
Here’s a video of Tim cleaning the SteepShot and doing a rinsing cycle with only hot water. Note that the SteepShot is dishwasher-safe. Also note that we recommend pouring through a sieve and dump grinds in the trash/compost.
Standard metal plate filter (comes with SteepShot):
· Drains fast, which gives you better control over the brewing time
· Lets oils and some sediment pass through
· Durable and easy to clean
SteepShot metal mesh filter:
· All benefits as metal plate filters
· Ari’s personal favorite in regards of taste.
· Drains a little slower with finer grind settings.
· Less sediment than the metal plate filter.
· Durable and easy to clean.

In everyday use with the standard metal filter, there are two parts to handle with SteepShot: the cup and the lid. If you wish to swap out the filter or give SteepShot a more thorough clean, you can simply dismantle the lid as shown above.

Ari Halonen is the inventor of SteepShot. The idea came to him while he was doing the dishes one Autumn day in 2015. He assembled a prototype and realised its potential when he found his wife brewing with it one morning. She has been known to keep a safe distance to Ari’s brewing gear, which she calls “lab equipment”.
He brought the prototype to Tim Wendelboe, who’s coffee house was right around the corner from his home at the time, and with Tim’s stamp of approval, Ari had the confidence to move forward with further development of SteepShot.
Today, we have nine fully functioning prototypes, the oldest of which is still going strong after over 6000 servings. With this crowdfunding campaign, Ari’s vision of making coffee brewing simple and easy for everyone is becoming a reality.
