How to make the perfect Stovetop Coffee

You will need:
- StoveTop/Moka Pot
- Hob
- Hot water
- Rave coffee

1. Remove the basket from the Moka pot - fill the Moka Pot with hot water (not boiling water) up to just below the safety valve.

2. Take your basket and fill it with coffee and then use your finger to level it off.

3. Pop your basket in the lower chamber and screw the top on tightly.

4. Place your stovetop on the hob and lift your lid and wait for the coffee to flow. Once the stream starts to blonde and looks thin then you'll know the coffee is fully extracted.

5. Plunge the Moka pot in cold water to stop the brewing process.
