Stovetop Espresso Hints

Stovetops need to be made to capacity to get the best result, so consider what size best suits your needs. Coffee should be custom ground by your local  coffee professional or thecoffeemegastore.com of course.

 Use filtered water for a better flavour and to reduce scale build-up. Use cold water in the base and fill to just below the safety valve. Fill the basket with coffee level to the top, and level flat.

 Place on a medium heat, either gas or electric. Remove from the heat when the top chamber begins to “cough” towards the middle of the filling process.

Warm cups with hot water and pour your coffee straight away. Coffee will become bitter if left on the heat. Always clean your equipment thoroughly, without detergent or a dishwasher.
