Step 1:
Start boiling your water. I prefer to pre boil the water so that the grounds spend less time on the heat. This is controversial so I suggest trying both and utilizing the one that works best for you.
Step 2:
Fill the bottom chamber with the now near boiling water. Fill to just below the valve or the fill line, whichever your pot has.
Step 3:
Drop in the ground holder and fill to level with coffee of your choice, I honestly really like Maxwell House Columbian and the el cheapo Wegman’s house brand coffee.
Step 4:
Carefully, Super carefully, screw the top portion onto the the bottom assembly. I say be careful to avoid burning ones self.
Step 5:
Put the pot on LOW. If you go too high the coffee will spray out of the top and worse yet taste really really lousy.
Step 6:
Drink.
