Product Overview:

• Capacity: 3-4 cups / 200 ml
• Material: Aluminium + Ceramic
• Food Grade: LFGB certified
• Packing Dimensions: 14 × 12 × 17.5 cm

Initial Preparation:

1. Unpack and Clean:

   • Remove all labels and packaging.
   • Hand wash all parts with warm water.
   • Rinse thoroughly to remove soap residue.

2. Season the Pot:

   • Make 2-3 pots of coffee to season the pot.
   • Follow the instructions below for each cycle.

How to Use:

1. Fill the Lower Chamber:

   • Add cold water, ensuring the water level is just below the safety valve.

2. Insert the Funnel:

   • Fill the funnel with ground espresso, without tamping it down.
   • Remove any coffee grounds from the edge of the funnel.

3. Assemble the Pot:

   • Tightly screw the upper chamber onto the base, avoiding the use of the handle for leverage.

4. Stovetop Use:

   • Select a burner size that matches the base of the pot.
   • For gas stovetops, ensure the flame does not exceed the diameter of the pot’s base.

5. Brewing Process:

   • Place the pot on the stovetop until the water boils and coffee starts to come out of the center post. A gurgling sound will indicate the process.
   • When the upper chamber is filled with coffee and hazel brown foam appears, the coffee is ready.

6. Final Step:

   • Stir the coffee in the upper chamber with a small spoon to blend the different layers and optimize the flavour.

Cleaning Instructions:

• Hand Wash Only: Wash the pot by hand with warm water.
• Dry Thoroughly: Use a towel to dry all parts completely before reassembling to avoid oxidation.

Tips & Precautions:

• Coffee Grounds: Use coffee grounds specifically for moka pots. Avoid overly fine coffee.
• Regular Maintenance: Periodically check the funnel, filter plate, and washer for wear; they may need replacement over time.
• Water Level: Never use the pot without water.
• Coffee Only: Do not use tea, cacao powder, or instant coffee, as they will clog the filter.

• Water Quality: For the best coffee flavour, use filtered water.
