- The carafe holds 600 ml, about five cups. You brew the full batch in one cycle, so it suits two to four people.
- Does it need electricity?
- No. It heats with an alcohol lamp and windbreak, so it works anywhere you can safely burn alcohol.
- What filter does it use?

- Is it dishwasher safe?
- Only the upper bowl, lower bowl and lid are dishwasher safe. Wash the filter assembly and burner by hand.
