BIALETTI Moka Express Alpine Espresso 3-cup Stovetop Coffee Maker Received as a gift and never used, but it does look like water was in the bottom chamber (?) How to prepare the coffee: fill the boiler up to the safety valve, fill it up with ground coffee without pressing, close the moka pot and place it on the stovetop, as soon as Moka Express starts to gurgle, turn the fire off and coffee will be ready
