These are instructions to using a stovetop expresso machine. Go to the link below for picture of it. With the electrical ones, the instructions vary depending on model.
-Fill the bottom chamber with cold water up to the steam release valve (overpressure plug).
-Insert the funnel filter (cone) and fill it with espresso-ground coffee, smoothing it without tamping.
-Make sure the flat round filter plate and the rubber gasket are in place underneath the central column of the upper part of the macchinetta.
-Screw the top on, but not too hard.
-Put it on the stovetop with enough heat to cover the bottom, but not so that it heats the handle.
-When you hear the macchinetta gurgling, remove it from the heat and allow it to sit for 30 seconds.
-Use a spoon to stir the coffee, then serve.
