Product introduction
This HARIO siphon accessory bundle includes 5 FS-103 filter cloths, 1 F-103S metal filter holder (with 1 additional cloth), and 1 BA-15 bamboo stirrer. There are 6 filter cloths in total. It suits anyone who needs a cloth-filter setup, replacement cloths and a stirring tool together.
F-103S is the metal holder that supports and secures the cloth at the bottom of the upper bowl. FS-103 cloth wraps around the holder to separate the grounds from the coffee as it flows back. Used cloths can be washed and reused, with the refill pack of five cloths available for rotation during daily use.
The BA-15 bamboo stirrer is approximately 24cm long. Once hot water has risen into the upper bowl, use it to stir the grounds gently so they make contact with the water. The holder, cloths and stirrer each have a distinct role; this bundle suits owners of a compatible siphon body.
This bundle combines three HARIO accessories, whose original component model numbers are FS-103, F-103S and BA-15.

Use and cleaning
Using the filter holder and stirrer
- Before using the cloth for the first time, wash it as directed in the siphon instructions, then use its strings to secure it to the F-103S filter holder.
- Place the filter holder in the centre of the upper bowl, pass the chain through the glass tube, secure the hook at the tube end and adjust the holder’s position.
- Once hot water rises into the upper bowl, use BA-15 to stir the grounds gently so they make contact with the water. Control stirring and steeping time according to your own brewing recipe.
Cleaning and storing the filter cloth
Immediately after use, rinse coffee grounds off the cloth under running water without detergent. If you will continue using it soon, immerse the clean cloth in fresh water, refrigerate it and change the water daily. This keeps coffee oils from remaining in dry fibres and affecting the next brew.
