Heat the water (530 ml approx.) to a temperature between 92°C - 96°C.

Grind coffee to a medium-fine particle size (Moka coffee will also do).
4
Pour ground coffee into the coffee maker.
5
The correct amount of coffee is as in the illustration, between about 15 and 30 g and depends on the capacity of the coffee maker.
6
Pour in hot water, up to the level of about 3 cm from the rim of the coffee pot.

Let it steep for 3 to 4 minutes. Some of the coffee powder will settle to the bottom of the coffee pot.

Stir well for a few seconds.

Insert the plunger connected to the lid and press gently, to prevent the coffee from spilling. The filter will separate the beverage from the coffee powder.
