  • The amount of coffee will depend on the size of the coffee pot, in this case it is usually 18 grams.
  • Water up to the mark indicated by each manufacturer, for this size it is usually 150ml.
Preparation
  1. Add the preheated water up to the mark indicated by the manufacturer.
  2. Fill the saucepan with the coffee without pressing.
  3. We close well.
  4. Place over high heat but not at maximum power with the top lid open.
  5. When air begins to come out in addition to coffee, close the lid and place the coffee maker under cold water with the spout at the bottom of the coffee maker to slow down the extraction and avoid bitter flavors in the coffee.
  6. Serve.
 
Road to perfection
  • The rubber must be white or transparent
  • Filtered or bottled water with a dry residue of less than 175 ppm.
  • There should always be water left over in the lower container when we have finished processing.
  • We put a little cold water inside the container where the coffee is filtered so that when it starts to rise the first drops do not burn with the high temperatures of the iron.
