2. Place the funnel filter cup into the bottom half and fill it with fine ground coffee without tamping or applying much pressure, level off at the top.
3. Confirm that the top part of your espresso maker has the round metal filter and the silicone ring-like gasket (located on the bottom of the top piece). Do not use your coffee maker if these pieces are missing or damaged. Screw the top and bottom pieces together.
4. Place your IMUSA espresso maker on the stove, making sure not to expose the handle to direct heat (you may place the coffee maker in such directly on top of the stove but the handle is outside of the burner area).

The top part should be nearly full of espresso when done. You may serve your coffee once the coffee maker stops bolling and gurgling.
