How to use

Fill the lower chamber with fresh water up to the safety valve level, place finely ground coffee into the filter funnel without tamping, and assemble the top and bottom sections, ensuring a secure seal. Place the assembled moka pot on a compatible stovetop over medium heat. As the water heats, steam pressure forces water through the ground coffee into the upper chamber; remove from heat once the coffee flow subsides. Allow a short cool-down before opening and serving. Disassemble after cooling for rinsing and drying.

Recommendations

Use fresh, evenly ground coffee suited for moka brewing and filtered water for best taste. Maintain medium heat to avoid overheating and bitter extraction. Hand wash all parts and dry thoroughly; avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve the finish. Verify stovetop compatibility if using induction adapters or non-standard cooktops.
