Cuisinox Roma Stovetop Moka Pot Espresso Maker

From The Manufacturer

Do it the Italian way in 4 easy steps ! Step 1 Fill the lower chamber with cold water just below the valve. Step 2 Insert the funnel and fill it with ground espresso (do not tamp). Tightly screw the upper part on to the base. Avoid using the handle for leverage. Step 3 At medium-high heat, wait approximately 3 to 4 minutes until a steaming sound is heard to indicate that all of the espresso coffee has risen into the reservoir section and is ready to serve. For gas stovetops, the flame should not come around the sides of the pot. Step 4 Once all of the espresso coffee has risen into the reservoir section, remove the espresso maker from the stove. Pour into espresso cups and enjoy. Tips – If you wish to make less coffee, first fill the base half way to the safety valve with water. Place the funnel filter into the base. Then insert the reducer into the funnel filter thus reducing the capacity for espresso coffee grounds by half. Add your espresso ground coffee on top of the reducer. – Always allow the coffeemaker to cool down before opening it to wash. – For best results, always wash your coffeemaker by hand. – For best tasting results always use filtered water. 4 cup 1 extra gasket and reducer included. 6 cup 1 extra gasket and reducer included. 10 cup 1 extra gasket and reducer included.
