Start with the two HG2713 holders
A cold drip tower works by letting water pass slowly through a bed of ground coffee. On the Tiamo HG2713, two replacement parts sit at the heart of that path: the water holder at the top and the liquid coffee holder at the bottom. If either is missing, cracked, or not seated correctly, the tower will not drip as intended.
Before you assemble anything, confirm you have the right holders. The Water Holder - HG2713 is the upper reservoir that holds the water; the Liquid Coffee Holder - HG2713 is the lower vessel that collects the brewed coffee. Both are replacement parts for the Tiamo HG2713 brewer, and the water holder does not include the tap or lid, so you will need to reuse those from your existing setup.
HG2713 replacement parts at a glance

Water Holder - HG2713: Water Holder - HG2713 is a replacement water holder for the Tiamo HG2713 cold drip brewer. Tap and lid not included. This is the upper water reservoir. Check that your tap and lid are still serviceable before ordering, because they are not part of this item.

Liquid Coffee Holder - HG2713: Liquid Coffee Holder - HG2713 is a replacement lower liquid coffee holder for the Tiamo HG2713 cold drip brewer. This is the lower collection vessel. It must sit level and clean so the finished coffee can be removed without disturbing the drip path.

Assemble the tower in the right order
Work from the bottom up. The order matters because each part supports the one above it, and a misaligned holder can send water around the coffee instead of through it.
- Place the liquid coffee holder on a level surface: Set the Liquid Coffee Holder - HG2713 on a stable, flat counter where the tower will not be bumped. This is the base that collects the brewed coffee.
- Fit the coffee chamber and filter above it: Seat the middle coffee chamber and filter assembly so it rests squarely over the liquid coffee holder. The supplied records do not include assembly steps for the middle section, so follow the parts you already have for the HG2713.
- Add the water holder on top: Place the Water Holder - HG2713 above the coffee chamber. Confirm the tap and lid from your existing unit are fitted, since they are not included with the replacement water holder.
- Check the drip path before adding coffee: With the tower empty, make sure the tap sits directly over the center of the coffee chamber and that nothing wobbles. A level tower is the simplest way to keep the drip even.
Choose a grind size for slow dripping
Cold drip relies on a slow, steady flow of water through the coffee bed. If the grind is too fine, water can stall and the brew takes far longer than expected; if it is too coarse, water runs through too quickly and the coffee tastes thin. A medium-coarse grind is the usual starting point for cold drip towers, similar to what you would use for a French press.
The supplied product records do not specify a grind setting for the HG2713, so treat this as a starting point rather than a manufacturer instruction. Adjust on your next brew: if the bed clogs, go coarser; if the water passes through in a rush, go slightly finer.
Set a starting cold brew drip ratio
A practical starting ratio for cold drip is about 1 part coffee to 10 parts water by weight, which gives a concentrated brew you can dilute to taste. For example, 50 g of medium-coarse coffee with 500 g of water is an easy first batch. The HG2713 records do not state a capacity, so keep the water level below the top of the water holder and leave room for the coffee bed to expand.
Drip rate matters as much as ratio. Aim for a slow, steady drip rather than a fast stream; if your tower has an adjustable tap, use it to slow the flow. The exact drip rate is not specified in the supplied information, so judge by the bed: water should stay visible above the coffee for most of the brew rather than draining instantly.
What the HG2713 records do not tell you
The supplied records confirm compatibility with the Tiamo HG2713 cold drip brewer and note that the water holder excludes the tap and lid. They do not include capacity, brew time, paper filter requirements, or cleaning instructions. That means you should rely on the rest of your HG2713 setup for those details rather than assuming a number from this article.
If you are replacing a part because of a crack or a poor seal, order the specific holder you need rather than a full tower. The Liquid Coffee Holder - HG2713 and Water Holder - HG2713 are available separately from Coffee Machine Warehouse, which keeps a working tower in service without buying parts you already have.
