How to use

To use the Maestro moka pot, unscrew the top chamber and remove the funnel filter. Fill the bottom base with water up to the level of the safety valve. Insert the funnel and fill it with medium-fine ground coffee without tamping. Screw the top chamber firmly onto the base and place the pot on a low to medium heat source. Once the coffee begins to flow into the upper chamber and you hear a gurgling sound, remove it from the heat immediately to prevent a burnt taste.

What to consider before purchase

• Check your stovetop type for compatibility
• Ensure the 2-cup capacity meets your daily needs
• Hand washing is recommended to maintain the finish

Usage recommendations

Always use medium-fine ground coffee and filtered water for the best flavor profile. Keep the heat low to ensure a slow, steady extraction, and never leave the pot unattended while on the stove.
