1. First, you will need to fill the base with room temperature water, fill to just below the pressure valve inside
2. Weigh out and grind your beans. We recommend using a 10-1 ratio of water in the base to coffee. Optionally, for simplicity and ease of use, you can fill up the filter basket and use that as a measurement for your beans.
3. When placing the grounds into the basket, do not tamp or flatten them, but rather tap the basket to even out and settle the grounds.
4. Place the filter basket into the base and connect the top brew chamber to the base.
5. Place the Moka on medium to low heat. It should take between 3-5 minutes to brew.
6. As it brews, keep a good eye on it. As it gets hotter, the Moka will reach a phase where instead of steadily pouring, the coffee will start to sputter out more aggressively. This will make your coffee bitter, so make sure to pull it off the heat as you see this begin to happen.
7. Pour into your cup and enjoy!
