As each Brass /Pital Parat is handmade, there may be slight variations in its size and weight.
Maintenance: To maintain the quality of the coffee and the filter itself, it’s important to clean the brass filter regularly. This usually involves rinsing it thoroughly and occasionally using a mild cleaning solution. Over time, the filter may develop a patina, which is a thin layer that forms on the surface of the brass, giving it a characteristic appearance.
When using a brass coffee filter, it’s essential to follow the manufacturer’s care instructions to ensure the longevity of the filter and to maintain the desired coffee flavor :-
1. Hand wash only, do not use dishwasher
2. Brass as a metal has nature to oxidize, use a solution of vinegar or lemon juice and salt diluted with some water at such times but not regular.

4. Use Copper Or Brass Shining Powder or Food Safe Polish to shine is back to as brand new
