How to use

To use the Ofenbach espresso maker, 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 filter and fill it with medium-fine ground coffee, leveling it off without packing it down. Screw the top chamber firmly onto the base. Place the pot on a low to medium heat source. Once the coffee begins to flow into the upper chamber and the bubbling sound starts, remove the pot from the heat immediately to prevent a burnt taste.

What to consider before purchase

• Check your stovetop type for compatibility with stainless steel
• Ensure the 0.6L capacity meets your daily coffee consumption needs
• Verify that you have a heat source that fits the base diameter

Usage recommendations

For the best results, use freshly ground coffee beans and filtered water. Always ensure the safety valve is not covered by water during the filling process, and clean the device thoroughly after each use to prevent coffee oil buildup.
