How to Use the Italian Espresso Stove Top Coffee Maker

Getting Started

• Ensure all components of the coffee maker are clean and dry before use.
• Familiarize yourself with the different parts of the coffee maker: the base for water, the funnel for coffee grounds, and the top chamber for the brewed coffee.

Filling the Coffee Maker

• Fill the base of the coffee maker with cold water up to the safety valve.
• Insert the funnel into the base.
• Add finely ground espresso coffee into the funnel, filling it without pressing down the coffee.
• Ensure there are no coffee grounds on the rim of the base to ensure a proper seal.

Assembling the Coffee Maker

• Screw the top chamber onto the base tightly, but do not over-tighten.
• Ensure the safety valve is clear and not blocked before proceeding.

Brewing the Coffee

• Place the coffee maker on a stove top burner. Use moderate heat for best results.
• Listen for a gentle bubbling sound, indicating that the coffee is brewing and moving to the top chamber.
• Once the bubbling noise subsides, remove the coffee maker from the heat.

Serving the Coffee

• Carefully unscrew the top chamber using a cloth or oven mitt if hot.
• Pour the brewed espresso into a cup and enjoy immediately.

Cleaning the Coffee Maker

• Allow the coffee maker to cool completely before cleaning.
• Disassemble all parts and rinse with warm water. Avoid using soap as it can affect future coffee flavor.
• Dry all components thoroughly before storing.

Safety Tips

• Always check that the safety valve is clear and functional before use.
• Never use the coffee maker without water in the base.
• Handle with care as the coffee maker can be hot after brewing.
