• Bottom Chamber: Holds the water. Features a safety valve.
• Filter Funnel: Holds the ground coffee. Sits inside the bottom chamber.
• Top Chamber: Collects the brewed coffee. Attaches to the bottom chamber.
• Handle: Ergonomically designed for safe pouring.

Setup and First Use

Before using your moka pot for the first time, it is recommended to clean it thoroughly. Brew a few batches of coffee and discard them to season the pot and remove any manufacturing residues.

1. Disassemble all parts: unscrew the top chamber from the bottom chamber, and remove the filter funnel.
2. Wash all components with warm water and a mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly.
3. Dry all parts completely before reassembly.
4. For seasoning, follow the "Operating Instructions" below, but use inexpensive coffee grounds and discard the brewed coffee. Repeat 2-3 times.

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps to brew coffee with your Hakeeta Moka Pot:

1. Fill the Base Pot with Water: Fill the bottom chamber with cold water just below the level of the safety valve. Do not overfill.

2. Add Ground Coffee: Insert the filter funnel into the bottom chamber. Fill the funnel with finely ground espresso coffee. Do not tamp the coffee. Remove any excess coffee grounds from the rim of the funnel to ensure a tight seal.
3. Assemble the Pot: Tightly screw the upper part of the pot onto the base. Ensure it is securely fastened to prevent leaks during brewing. Avoid using the handle for leverage when tightening.
4. Place on Heat Source: Select a cooking appliance (gas stove, electric stove, or alcohol stove) that fits the bottom of the pot. Place the moka pot on the stove over medium heat.
5. Brewing: As the water heats, pressure will build, forcing hot water through the coffee grounds and into the top chamber. You will hear a gurgling sound as the coffee begins to flow.

6. Serve: Once coffee overflows into the top pot and the gurgling sound changes, remove the pot from the heat source immediately to prevent over-extraction. Pour and serve your fresh espresso.
