Key specifications

• Material: Stainless steel
• Capacity: 0.2 liters
• Compatibility: Gas, electric, and induction stovetops
• Design: Classic moka pot style

To use the Ofenbach espresso maker, fill the bottom chamber with cold water up to the level of the safety valve. Insert the funnel filter and fill it with medium-fine ground coffee without tamping it down. Screw the top section firmly onto the base and place the unit on a heat source at a medium setting. Once the coffee begins to flow into the upper chamber and you hear a gentle gurgling sound, remove the pot from the heat immediately to prevent the coffee from burning.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your stovetop size matches the base diameter for optimal heating
• Verify that the 0.2-liter capacity meets your daily serving requirements
• Check that you have a source of medium-fine ground coffee suitable for moka pots

For the best results, always use fresh, filtered water and clean the unit thoroughly with warm water after each use, avoiding harsh detergents to preserve the stainless steel surface.
