How to use Bialetti Moka Express

1. Fill the lower chamber with cold water just below the valve.
2. Insert the funnel and fill it with ground espresso (do not tamp). Remove any coffee grounds on the edge of the horn.
3. Tightly screw the upper part of the pot onto the base. Avoid using the handle for leverage.
4. Select burner size to fit the bottom of the pot. For the gas stovetop, make sure the flame is not more significant than the bottom of the pool. The flame should not come around the sides of the pot.
5. Place pot on the stovetop until the water boils and coffee comes out of the center post. There will be a gurgling sound during this process.
6. When the top of the pot is full of coffee, please remove it from the stove. Hazel brown foam appears just seconds before the coffee is entirely made.
7. Before pouring coffee, stir it in the upper chamber with a small spoon to equalize all the different coffee layers for optimum flavor.
