  Fill the lower chamber with cold water. |
|
| Place the ground espresso coffee in the middle filter chamber. |
|
| Make sure that the filter chamber is filled to the rim with ground coffee. |
|
| Lightly tamp down the coffee in the filter. |
|
| Brush off any coffee that has spilled over and place the filter chamber on top of the water chamber. |
|
| Tightly screw on the top chamber and place the coffeepot on the stove over a low heat. |
|
| As the water boils, the steam forces the water up through the filter and then up through a central tube into the top chamber where it brews. |
|
| When the sound of boiling stops, the top compartment has filled with coffee. |
|
| Take the coffeepot off the stove. Allow to rest for a few moments and then serve. |
