How to brew Stovetop Espresso
- Pour
- Unscrew the brew chamber and add room temperature water to the boiler up to but not over the safety valve.
- Grind
- Add 2 tbsp of finely ground coffee to 6 oz of water into the basket. (avoid packing the grounds)
- The grind size should look similar to brown sugar.
- Brew
- Put the basket back into the boiler and screw the brew chamber back on securely.
- Turn your burner on high and place the pot on the stove.
- Remove
- When you see coffee stop filling the brew chamber and you hear a sputtering or spitting sound, the brew is done.
- CAUTION: Use a hot pad or oven mitt to remove the brewer from the stove. Wait until the pot is cool to touch before taking it apart to clean.
- Enjoy
- Finally, decant and enjoy your freshly brewed Stovetop Espresso!
- Add milk or hot water to taste to recreate your favorite classic cafe drinks.
