Step-by-Step Guide to Brewing Stovetop Coffee at Home

How to Use Stovetop Coffee at Home

1. Get All of Your Equipment Together:

You will need a stovetop espresso maker (such as a Moka pot), freshly ground Fonzie Abbott coffee beans, a digital scale (if you want to be extra accurate), and filtered water.

2. Grind Your Coffee:

If your coffee is not already ground for you, you need to grind your coffee beans to a fine consistency, you're looking for it to be similar to table salt.

3. Fill the Water Chamber:

Unscrew the bottom chamber of the stovetop espresso maker.
Fill the bottom chamber with filtered water up to the safety valve, make sure you don't exceed it!

4. Add You Fonzie Abbott Ground Coffee to the Filter Basket:

Place the filter basket onto a flat surface and fill it with your ground coffee, level it off with your finger or a flat edge.
You want to use approximately 15-20 grams of coffee to make yourself a standard brew. Adjust to your taste though of course!

5. Assemble the Stovetop Espresso Maker:

6. Heat on Stovetop:

Pop your stovetop espresso maker on a burner and have that set to a medium heat.

7. Monitor the Brew:

8. Remove from Heat:

Once the top chamber is filled with brewed espresso and there is a slight bubbling sound, remove the stovetop espresso maker from the heat source immediately.

9. Serve and Enjoy!

Stovetop espresso tends to be strong and concentrated, perfect for enjoying as is or mixing with milk for lattes or cappuccinos.
