Place the CAFFETTIERA on a flat surface, hold the handle tightly and pull the plunger up and out of the carafe. Add a round teaspoon or a bodum spoonful of coarsely ground coffee per cup of water. Pour hot water into the carafe (about 92-96 °C), leaving at least 2.5 cm of space at the top, and stir the coffee with a plastic or wooden spoon. Place the plunger on the jug and turn the lid so that the spout is closed to preserve the heat. Let it steep for four minutes, then slowly push down the plunger. Turn the lid to open the spout and pour yourself a delicious cup of coffee. Use and careBefore first use, wash in warm soapy water and dry thoroughly.
