How do you use a Bialetti for the first time?

Before Use
  1. Before using the coffeemaker for the first time, it’s a good idea to wash all the parts in warm water first.
  2. We recommended that you throw away the first 2-3 brews.
  3. It’s really important that you don’t use the handle while unscrewing as this can cause the handle to break.

How do you know when Bialetti is done?

As the water in the bottom chamber approaches a boil, the pressure will push a stream of coffee steadily up into the upper chamber. You know it’s done when you hear a hissing, gurgling sound.

How much coffee do you put in a Bialetti?

Grind your coffee on a drip coffee setting, about as fine as table salt. You need enough coffee to fill the filter basket, which is about 15 to 17 grams (or about 2.5 Tablespoons) for a 4-cup Bialetti moka pot.
