FAQs

Can I use this on an induction hob?

This unit is designed for standard gas and electric stovetops. It may not work on induction surfaces unless you use an induction interface plate.

How many ounces of coffee does this produce?

The 6-cup capacity refers to 'demitasse' or espresso-style servings, totaling approximately 10-12 fluid ounces of concentrated coffee.

Should I tamp the coffee grounds?

No, you should fill the basket and level the coffee off gently without tamping. Tamping can create too much pressure and stall the brewing process.

Can I put the maker in the dishwasher?

No, this product should be hand-washed to preserve the structural integrity and the copper finish.

Why is there water left in the bottom chamber?

It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in the bottom chamber after the brewing process is complete to prevent the unit from overheating.

Troubleshooting

Coffee is leaking from the center seal

Ensure the top and bottom chambers are screwed together tightly and check that the rubber gasket is not damaged or obstructed by coffee grounds.

Coffee tastes bitter or burnt

Use lower heat settings on your stove and remove the pot from the heat source immediately once the coffee begins to flow into the upper chamber.

Water is not moving to the upper chamber

Check that the filter basket is not clogged and ensure the water level in the base does not exceed the safety pressure valve.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before your first use, wash all parts with warm water and mild soap to remove any manufacturing residue. When setting up, ensure the seal is clean and properly seated to maintain the necessary pressure. This maker is primarily designed for gas or electric stovetops. After each use, allow the unit to cool completely before disassembling for cleaning. Hand wash only with water and avoid harsh detergents or abrasive sponges that could scratch the copper finish. Ensure the pot is thoroughly dry before storing to prevent water spots or oxidation.
