Does anyone have suggestions for preventing large bubbles / turbulence from appearing after the water rises into the upper chamber?
I get large bubbles forming about 50% of the time, and I notice that the brew tastes bad if coffee is brewed when these large bubbles are present.

Suggestions on other websites say that if such bubbles appear, it is best to adjust the filter to keep the bubbles from forming. If that fails, then start all over and make sure there are no leaks in the seal. I've done this, but I still get large bubbles.

u've bubbles right from the beginning?
2 types of bubbles: those from the rim of your metal part and those from the cloth surface and they uniformly distributed.
the former: misaligned cloth
the latter: the temp of the lower bulb is higher than the water temp.

師兄英文不好，我答中文希望你看得懂

有幾個見意:

1) 冬天快到在加熱時插上上壺否則很多易爆裂。

2) 加熱水時只需加熱至80c 左右，便可插上上壺，便可開始上水到上壺，
然後同時可開始調節火種至 88-95c。因水温在加熱至97c以後，而且在不斷加熱是很難降回合適温度。因你的温度97己很接近沸點所以出現很大的氣泡。

Thank you, Vavi, for your help. I cannot read Chinese, but I will have my wife translate for me when I get home.

I used google translate, but it does not give a good translation.

It is because the water in the bottom pot is way too hot. Try to pour 80 degrees at the beginning!

yes, the water is too hot to make coffee, I saw your video, the thermometer is shows 97.x, FYI, I will set my thermometer to 86C then pull the upper pot in.

After the water all get into the upper pot, turn the fire with less power to make the water flow become stable.

Then you can put coffee in.
