Q: How many times can the disc be reused?
A: Forever
Q: Does this product contain BPA?
A: This product is 100% BPA-free.
Q: What type of coffee should I use?
A: You should use a finely ground coffee. For weaker coffee, grind it coarser. For stronger coffee, grind it finer. Also, make sure you use a good grade of coffee (Illy, Lavazza, Starbucks, etc.). The taste is only as good as the coffee used.
Q: Do I have to use the paper filter?
A: No, using the paper filter is a matter of taste. Try it and see if you like the brew better. We think you will.
Q: What is the top seal for?
A: The top seal allows you to make up reusable discs in advance and seal them until they are used. Make sure to remove the top seal before placing disc in brewers.
Q: What are the bar codes for?
A: T-Discs use a bar code to control the brewer. Things like water temperature, cartridge charge (loading the disc to soak), flow rate, volume (how much water you get in the cup), and purge (final phase of the brew cycle). Each of these characteristics are different for the different types of coffee you would like to brew. We supply bar codes for various size cups of coffee.
Q: My disc is exploding, what wrong?
A: If your disc is exploding then it can only be because you are using a too finely ground coffee or are packing too much coffee into the disc. I would like for you to first try to use the disc with NO coffee in the disc (no filter either). Just run hot water through it. If that works without it exploding, try putting a little coffee in the disc. If that does not explode, then continue putting more coffee in the disc. When the coffee starts to dwindle and not come through the disc you have probably gone too far.
Q: The reusable disc is too high?
A: The reusable disc is the size of normal milk discs on the market. All brewers should be able to handle this size disc. It is normal to experience a little resistance when closing the unit. But, don't force it if you have to press too hard.
