The guide for the perfect Stovetop/Moka Pot

Check that your stove top is clean, especially the filter.
Grind size needs to be the right one for this method, coarser than espresso grind but finer than for pour over methods.
Boiled water. (Never use cold water)
Never fill water above the valve

Step 1: Boil the water and add it to the base container (Below the valve)
Step 2: Put the coffee into the filter, just enough to fill the container, we don’t need to push the coffee down, we don’t want it tightly packed.
Step 3: With a towel, place the top part on and tighten until it’s closed (but not too tight).Note: Remember the bottom part is hot after you add the boiled water
Step 4: Put the Stove top on the flame and if you like to see the process, open the lid to see how the coffee is coming out. (Nice experience)Note: When the coffee starts to coming out, it should be very smooth and not like an explosion.
Step 5: When you start to hear a hiss, it’s time to move the stove top off the flame.
Step 6: Take your stovetop to the tap(With the towel) and apply cold water to the stovetop to stop the extraction.
Step 7: Serve and enjoy.
