Ilsa Carmencita POP Stove Top Espresso Coffee Maker - Red

Signature Packaging

Its signature packaging, designed exclusively for Lavazza by the renowned food illustrator Gianluca Biscalchin, makes it an ideal gift for all coffee lovers.

How It Works?

Pour clean water into the lower container, making sure that the water level is below the safety valve, and pour ground coffee into the strainer (the coffee must have a medium grinding degree, it is best to choose coffee that has a mark that it can be brewed this way). The next step is to assemble the coffee maker, screw on the upper body, making sure that the edges of the bodies and the seal are dry and clean. Now you can place the coffee maker on the stove. When using an induction cooker, do not set the power to more than 60 %; on a gas cooker, adjust the flame size to the bottom of the lower pot. Ready? If you hear the sound of coffee coming out of the nozzle and hissing, wait a moment...it's just hissing. Coffee is ready! This small device gives ordinary black coffee a different look and, above all, a different taste and aroma.
