1 CUP, Stove-Top Espresso Coffee Maker Pot - Italian.
1. Preheat the water. Stop your kettle just before the water boils. Starting out with hot water allows the extraction to take place more quickly and prevents the pot overheating, which can scald the coffee grounds.
2. Grind your coffee. If your grind is too fine it will result in over extraction and bitter coffee.
3. Pour the hot water into the bottom pot; always fill it up to the bottom of the safety valve.
4. Fill the basket with a mound of coffee, then flatten it with your finger.
5. Place the basket, filled and flattened, into the lower pot. Screw the top on using an oven glove or a cloth as the base will be hot.
6. Place it onto the stove. Leave the lid open throughout the process to prevent the chamber from overheating.
7. Watch for the first splutter of coffee. If you’ve done it correctly the coffee should trickle out like a thick, golden-brown syrup. Remove it from the heat when the espresso starts to run pale.
