How to use

Fill the lower chamber with water up to the safety valve level, insert the filter funnel and add medium-fine ground coffee without compacting it. Screw the upper chamber tightly onto the base and place the assembled maker on a gas or electric stove over medium heat. When the coffee begins to flow into the upper chamber, reduce heat to maintain a steady extraction and remove the pot from heat once the upper chamber is filled and the gurgling sound stops. Allow the brewed coffee to settle briefly before serving.

Recommendations

To prolong service life, rinse and dry all parts after each use and avoid abrasive cleaners. Use fresh medium-fine ground coffee and control heat to prevent overheating and metallic taste. Do not place on induction cooktops unless an induction-compatible adapter is used; verify compatibility with your stove type.
