Using espresso stovetop pots

1. Split the pot assembly by unscrewing the top and bottom sections.
2. Remove the coffee basket / funnel.
3. Fill the bottom bowl with cold water to just below the pressure relief valve. Hot water may be used to speed the process.
4. Refit the pots' coffee basket / funnel and place approximately 7g of fine ground coffee per cup.
5. Tamp down coffee, lightly but firmly. Be careful not to over compact as the water will not flow through the ground coffee properly.
6. Screw the espresso pots' top bowl onto the bottom assembly.
7. Place the pot on a stovetop and wait until the water is pressurised from the bottom bowl to the top section via the compacted coffee grind.
8. Once the flow of water has ceased, the sound made by the espresso pot will change from whooshing to spitting.
9. Remove the pot from the stovetop.
10. Pour and enjoy.
