How to use

Fill the lower chamber with water up to the safety valve level, insert the filter basket and add finely ground coffee without tamping. Screw the upper collection chamber firmly onto the base, place the moka pot on a preheated stovetop over medium heat, and wait until coffee begins to flow into the top chamber. Remove from heat when the flow subsides and allow the pressure to equalize briefly before opening. Pour and serve directly from the top chamber. After cooling, disassemble and rinse all parts; dry thoroughly before storage.

Recommendations

Use medium-fine to fine ground coffee suited for stovetop moka pots and avoid overfilling the filter basket. Monitor heat to prevent boiling over or burnt flavor; medium heat produces steady extraction. Clean by rinsing with warm water and avoid abrasive cleaners or dishwashers to preserve the aluminum finish. For best results, preheat the stovetop and use fresh water and freshly ground coffee.
