So, you just got the Crowka Pot, now what?

 Warnings 

The Crowka Pot has much thicker walls than other traditional moka pot and retains heat for a long time. Please handle this with extreme caution because serious burns are possible.

​

The Crowka Pot has sharp edges. Please note that the Crowka Pot has the potential to cut skin. Though a majority of these problem areas should be addressed before the pot ever reaches you, beware.

How to Brew with Your Crowka Pot​

​

1) Wash the Crowka Pot thoroughly, inside and out, with warm soapy water before use.

​

2) Fill the bottom boiler chamber with water, stopping just below the pressure valve.

​

3) Place the steel coffee basket into the boiler chamber.

​

4) Add medium-fine ground dark roast coffee, filling the basket almost to the top (do not pack it down).

​

5) Insert the coffee spout into the bird body from the bottom, then place the coffee ground filter on top.

​

6) Fit the silicone gasket around the filter. Note: the gasket seats best in one of its two orientations.

​

7) Screw the bird body and boiler together tightly—then give it an extra twist to ensure a firm seal.

​

8) Place the Crowka Pot on a medium-heat element. Heat slowly for best results.

Within a few minutes, coffee will begin flowing through the spout. Once you hear a loud gurgle, allow about 10 more seconds of brewing before removing the pot from heat. Cool under running water.
