The stovetop espresso pot can make up to 3 cups of coffee. It is a much more economical coffee-making solution compared to an espresso machine, and to operate it, you simply need to place it on a stovetop burner. The coffee-making process is very simple: Fill the bottom section (water reservoir) with water, without exceeding the height of the safety valve. Then add ground coffee to the conical filter, without pressing it down, remove any residues from the rim, and place it over the water reservoir. Finally, screw the top section of the coffee maker onto the water reservoir and place it on the stovetop burner. Once the water boils, the extraction will begin, providing you with hot and fresh coffee.

Its operation is based on steam pressure, similar to an espresso machine, although the stovetop pot produces much less pressure (usually 2 to 3 bar). The coffee you use should be slightly coarser ground than the grind used for espresso machines, in order to extract properly. It has a heat-resistant handle, so you can easily and safely pour the coffee into your cup.

An important advantage is that it takes up very little space in your kitchen, and it is also easily portable thanks to its small size.

It is advisable to clean it after each use, using water and soap, to avoid coffee residues. Additionally, it would be useful to descale it periodically, as like any metal device that comes into contact with water, it tends to accumulate limescale.
