- የጠመቃ ሂደት; As the water in the bottom chamber 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 fill the top.
- Remove from Heat: Once the top chamber is filled with coffee and you hear a distinct gurgling sound, immediately remove the Moka pot from the heat source. This prevents the coffee from overheating and developing a bitter taste.
- አገልግሉ፡ Pour the freshly brewed coffee into your cups and enjoy.
