You only need to add water to the canister at the bottom of the espresso maker, insert the powder holder and fill with your chosen style of coffee, screw on the top of the coffee maker and put on the top of the stove. When the water starts to boil, the pressure that it makes will force it up through the powder, through the central tube and into the last portion of the espresso maker. As the last of the water is forced through the coffee powder and into the final chamber a distinctive hissing bubbling sound will be heard. This is the signal that your freshly brewed coffee is ready. The lucky recipients of your gift will come to look forward to and appreciate this sound whenever they hear it.
