HOW TO USE AUTO BREW MODE?
TurboBrew is designed to be foolproof—the default mode is automatic brewing, so all it takes is a single press of a button. Before you start, a few simple preparation steps are required:
1. Assemble the Device
a. Place the Hyper Filter into the base of the upper brewer, ensuring the correct side is facing up. Secure it in place with the lock ring, making sure it is properly seated in the groove.
b. Next, thread the upper brewer onto the lower thermos cup and tighten firmly to ensure a secure, leak-proof seal.
2. Prepare Coffee Grounds
Add your preferred coffee grounds to the filter (refer to the “Grind Size Guide” section for recommendations).
3. Add Hot Water
Prepare hot water—boiling water is recommended.
4. Start Brewing
Press and hold the power button for 2 seconds.
The LED indicator will turn blue
You’ll hear a double beep, confirming that your input has been registered
TurboBrew will begin the automatic brewing cycle
5. Enjoy
Once the brewing is complete, your coffee will be automatically transferred into the lower thermos cup, where it will stay warm until you're ready to enjoy it.
Tips: Take your time—just don’t leave your coffee waiting too long. Fresh is best!
Caution: Hot liquid
Allow the coffee to cool slightly before drinking directly from the thermos cup to avoid burns.
HOW TO USE MANUAL BREW MODE?
We encourage users to experiment with Manual Mode to explore and fine-tune the brewing process based on personal taste preferences. This mode allows you to control the timing of extraction, unlocking new possibilities in flavor and body.
To enter manual mode, simply interrupt the automatic brewing cycle by pressing the power button at any desired point after activation. Once interrupted, TurboBrew will switch to manual mode, allowing full control over when extraction begins.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Assemble the Device
Place the Hyper Filter into the base of the upper brewer, ensuring the correct side is facing up. Secure it in place with the lock ring, making sure it is properly seated in the groove.
Next, thread the upper brewer onto the lower thermos cup and tighten firmly to ensure a secure, leak-proof seal.
2. Prepare Coffee Grounds
Add your desired amount of ground coffee into the filter. (Refer to the “Grind Size Guide” for best results.)
3. Enter Manual Mode
Press and hold the power button for 2 seconds to power on TurboBrew. To switch from Auto Brew to Manual Mode, double press the button as follows:
-
The first press stops the auto countdown and immediately starts the turbo filtration process.
-
The second press stops the filtration and puts the device into manual standby mode.
To ensure proper recognition, wait at least 2 seconds between the two presses.
4. Start Manual Brewing
In manual mode, you can create a segmented brewing cycle by pressing the button once to start or pause suction. This allows you to customize strength and flavor based on your timing and preference.
Pro Tips:
-
For enhanced extraction, try gently stirring the brew during the immersion phase. Experiment with timing and techniques to fine-tune your perfect cup.
-
To achieve a cleaner, more refined taste, consider adding a paper filter and lock screen (*available as optional accessories). These can help improve clarity by filtering out finer particles even lower than 150 microns.
WHAT GRIND SIZE DO I CHOOSE?
TurboBrew is compatible with a wide range of grind sizes, thanks to its precision-engineered stainless steel hyper filter with a mesh size of 150 microns.
For optimal performance and flavor, we recommend using coffee grounds in the range of pour-over to French press size, approximately 600 to 1400 microns.
This range provides the best balance between clarity and body, allowing for smooth extraction while minimizing clogging or over-extraction.
UNDERSTAND THE BUTTON ACTIONS, BEEPING & LIGHTING PATTERNS

CLEANING& MAINTENANCE
Cleaning TurboBrew is quick and easy—just follow these simple steps to keep your device in great condition and ensure optimal performance over time:
Before Each Brew
Rinse all components with clean water to ensure the device is free from any residue or dust.
After Each Brew
Dispose of the used coffee grounds immediately into a trash bin to avoid coffee oil buildup.
Be careful not to accidentally throw away the Hyper Filter or Lock Ring when emptying the brewer.
Rinse all removable components under running water.
If you notice excess coffee oil buildup, you may use a small amount of mild detergent to clean the parts.
Handling the Upper Brewer
Do not submerge the upper brewer in water. While TurboBrew is water-resistant, it is not designed to withstand full water pressure or immersion, which could compromise its internal seals and reduce its lifespan.
After Cleaning
Dry all parts thoroughly before storing to help preserve the device and maintain performance.
Dishwasher Notice
🚫 TurboBrew is not dishwasher safe. Please hand wash only.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Q1: I pressed the button, but there’s no beep. What’s wrong?
First, check the LED indicator. If there’s no light at all, your press likely wasn’t registered—try pressing the button again, firmly.
If the light is on and blinking once per second, TurboBrew is functioning normally. The issue may be a beeper malfunction. Don’t worry—this won’t affect performance. You’ll simply lose the sound notification, but the brewing process will still work as intended.
Q2: Why is there still water left in the upper brewer after the auto-brew finishes?
This could happen if the coffee grounds are too fine, which may slow down the flow rate. The built-in suction system is programmed to extract for a fixed cycle. If there's excess water remaining, simply press the button once more to activate an additional suction cycle and transfer the remaining liquid into the thermos cup.
Q3: My coffee looks cloudy. Is something wrong?
This is likely caused by coffee grounds that are too fine. TurboBrew’s Hyper Filter captures particles above 150 microns, but that doesn’t mean your grind should be set that fine. Unless you sift your grounds, most grinds will include a significant amount of smaller particles. For optimal extraction and balanced flavour, we recommend a grind size of at least 600 microns (approximately levels 13–17 on most manual grinders; actual settings may vary by brand). This ensures a smooth mouthfeel with rich flavour.
If you are looking for an ultra-clear brew, consider using a round paper filter along with the lock screen (*available as optional accessories).
Q4: Why can’t I use TurboBrew while it’s charging?
This is a built-in safety feature. TurboBrew automatically disables brewing during charging to prevent overheating and protect battery health. Charging takes only 30 minutes, and a quick 5-minute charge is usually enough for up to 5 brews—so your next cup is never far away.
Q5: What happens if I accidentally overfill the water or coffee grounds?
Overfilling coffee grounds? No issue—you’ll just get a stronger brew.
Overfilling water in AUTO mode? Still manageable. It may cause minor spillage, but the system will still function.
Overfilling water in Manual mode? Be cautious: TurboBrew is designed for a maximum of 300 mL in total per brew cycle. Exceeding this limit can lead to flooding or blockage of the pneumatic vents. If this happens, stop brewing immediately and safely discard the brew before starting again. To prevent accidental overfilling during segmented manual brews, we strongly recommend using a scale for better accuracy and control.
Q6: What if my child accidentally presses the button multiple times?
No damage done—just a little battery drain. Pressing the button during auto brew will switch the unit to manual mode, where button presses either pause the brew or trigger suction. A long press will turn the device off. It’s safe, but we recommend keeping TurboBrew out of reach of young children when not in use.
