• Espresso pots can be used on electric or gas stoves. On gas stoves, it is best to use a low to medium flame to avoid blackening the brewer.
• Unscrew the top off the container and remove the filter basket at the bottom of the pot.
• Before using the unit for the first time, fill the bottom with fresh water and brew a small amount of unwanted or spent coffee grounds. This process helps clean the unit and ensure that the pressure relief valve works well.
• Fill the bottom portion of the pot with water up to the pressure valve.
• Place the filter basket back into the bottom of the pot.
• Fill the filter basket with espresso coffee grounds (do NOT pack the grounds or tamp it down too tightly)
• Screw the top of the pot back on.
• Put the pot on a heated stove top.
• When all of the water has filtered to the top portion of the pot, it is ready to be taken off of the stove and enjoyed!
• Espresso Pot is NOT dishwasher safe.
