Fill the bottom chamber with filtered water up to just below the safety valve.
Add medium-ground coffee to the filter basket. Level the grounds. Do not overfill or press down.
Add an AeroPress filter over the coffee grounds for extra filtration (optional).
Screw on the top of the moka pot and place the brewer on medium heat.
Open the top of the pot to watch for the beginning of extraction.
Keep an eye on the pot to see when the coffee begins to fill the top chamber.
Take the pot off the heat before it begins to sputter with bubbles.
Close the top and wait a few minutes for the coffee to finish brewing.
