Meet your new favorite way to brew on the go. From your first cup to your daily coffee ritual, discover how to get the most out of your BRU Tumbler.

Brew. Sip. Seal. Go.


01. Get Started

One Tumbler. More Ways to Brew.

BRU brings brewing and drinking together in one thoughtfully designed tumbler. With its reusable stainless-steel cone filter, ceramic-coated interior, and insulated body, you can brew fresh coffee and enjoy it straight from the same cup.

No machine. No disposable filters. Just a better way to enjoy your daily ritual.


Get to Know Your BRU

ONE LID. FOUR POSITIONS.

  • CLOSE — Secure your tumbler when you're on the move.

  • DRINK — Sip directly from the dedicated drinking opening.

  • FILL / BREW — Add water and brew without removing the entire lid.

  • GO — Carry BRU comfortably with its integrated handle.

 

ONE FILTER. MORE POSSIBILITIES.

The reusable stainless-steel cone mesh filter makes it easy to explore different brewing styles. Use the raised position for pour-over coffee or lower the filter for immersion brewing.

The same filter also works for loose-leaf tea and refreshing fruit infusions.


Your First Brew in Four Steps

01 — ADD

Place your cone filter in position and add your favorite medium-coarse coffee grounds.

02 — POUR

Slowly add hot water (195–203°F / 90–95°C) over the coffee.

03 — BREW

Allow your coffee to extract according to your preferred brewing method. Start with approximately 3–4 minutes.

04 — SIP

Carefully remove the filter when brewing is complete. Switch to the drinking position and enjoy.

That's it. You're ready to BRU.


02. Brew Recipes

One Tumbler. Endless Possibilities.

Whether you love a bold morning coffee, a refreshing cold brew, or a soothing cup of tea, BRU makes every sip your own.


POUR-OVER COFFEE

Smooth, balanced, and freshly brewed.

Enjoy the classic pour-over experience without a separate dripper or serving cup.

How to Brew

  1. Position the cone filter for pour-over and add your coffee grounds.

  4. Once brewing is complete, remove the filter and enjoy.

BRU TIP: Prefer a cleaner cup? Add a compatible paper filter inside the mesh basket.

LOOSE-LEAF TEA

A little moment of calm, wherever you go.

BRU TIP: Different teas require different temperatures and steeping times. Follow your tea supplier's recommendations for the best flavor.


INFUSED WATER

Fresh flavors. Naturally refreshing.

Turn everyday water into something special with fruit, herbs, and your favorite combinations.

How to Make It

  1. Add sliced fruit, cucumber, or fresh herbs to the cone filter.

03. Brew Tips

Great Coffee Is All About the Details.

A few small adjustments can make a big difference. Explore these simple tips to get the most from every brew.


FIND YOUR GRIND

Medium-coarse is a great place to start.

A consistent medium-coarse grind helps water flow evenly through the stainless-steel mesh filter while reducing fine sediment.

A burr grinder can help you achieve more consistent results. Pre-ground coffee works too — just avoid very fine grinds.


GET YOUR RATIO RIGHT

Find the strength that suits you.

Start with approximately 20–22 g of coffee for 350 ml of water, then adjust to taste.

Want a stronger cup? Add a little more coffee.

Prefer something lighter? Use slightly less.


WATCH YOUR WATER

Temperature matters.

For most coffee, we recommend 195–203°F (90–95°C).

Water that's too hot may emphasize bitterness, while water that's too cool may produce a weaker, less developed flavor.


PAPER OR NO PAPER?

It's your coffee. Your choice.

BRU's reusable stainless-steel mesh filter lets natural coffee oils pass through for a richer, fuller-bodied cup.

For a cleaner taste with less sediment, simply add a compatible paper filter inside the mesh basket.


TROUBLESHOOT YOUR BREW

Coffee tastes weak?

Try adding more coffee, using a slightly finer grind, or extending immersion time.

Coffee tastes bitter?

Try a coarser grind, slightly cooler water, or a shorter steeping time.

Finding sediment in your cup?

A little fine sediment is normal with mesh filters. Use a consistent medium-coarse grind or add a paper filter.

Water draining too slowly?

Your grind may be too fine. Try a coarser grind and rinse the mesh thoroughly after each use.

Using pre-ground coffee?

Absolutely. Choose a medium-coarse grind when available for the best results.


04. Care & Cleaning

A Little Care Goes a Long Way.

Your BRU is made for everyday use. With a few simple cleaning habits, it will be ready for your next coffee ritual.


CLEAN IN FOUR EASY STEPS

01 — EMPTY

Remove the cone filter and discard the used coffee grounds or tea leaves.

02 — RINSE

Rinse the stainless-steel mesh thoroughly to remove coffee oils and fine particles.

03 — WASH

Wash the tumbler body with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge.

04 — DRY

Allow all components to dry completely before reassembling.


DISHWASHER OR HAND WASH?

Tumbler Body

Hand washing is recommended to protect the finish and ceramic-coated interior.

Lid & Mesh Filter

Place the lid in its fully open position and the stainless-steel cone filter on the top rack of the dishwasher.


A FEW EXTRA CARE TIPS

  • Avoid abrasive sponges and harsh cleaning products.

  • Rinse the mesh filter after every brew to prevent buildup.

  • Allow all components to dry before storing.

  • Make sure the lid and snap-on tab are fully secured before carrying.

  • Keep BRU upright when possible, especially inside a bag.

  • Do not microwave your BRU Tumbler.

Treat your BRU well, and it'll be ready for your next adventure.
