Coffee preparation:
- With the coffee maker disassembled, the water is placed in the boiler; the level should reach approximately five millimeters below the hole for the steam to escape.
- Place the ground coffee, without pressing it, in the special container, until it is flush, or slightly above, with respect to the upper edge of the container.
- Screw the filter onto the coffee container.
- The coffee container is fitted with the filter screwed onto the full tank of water, taking care not to let the water flow out.
- The coffee tank is now fitted onto the water tank, making sure that the two handles match as a position and that there are no gaps between the water tank and the coffee tank.
- Place the coffee maker on a not too hot fire (which does not overflow from the diameter of the coffee maker).
- When the water comes to the boil, a thin stream of steam comes out of the hole in the water tank, signaling that the time has come to firmly take the coffee maker by the two handles and turn it upside down. The water tank is thus found above the one that collects the coffee. The water then falls due to the force of gravity, passes through the coffee tank and the filter and collects in the tank. From here it will be poured into the cups, thanks to the spout which, after turning the coffee maker, has taken on the correct direction, that is upwards.

The time of complete "descent" of the water varies from five to ten minutes.

'' Cuppetiello ''
To better preserve the aroma of the coffee while it drops into the appropriate tank (an operation that, if the coffee is very dense or compact, it can last even more than ten minutes), it is suggested by the Neapolitan tradition to use the "Cuppetiello", that is, a small piece of paper folded in the shape of a cone placed to cover the hole of the spout, to be removed when pouring the coffee.
