Italians do not own coffee makers like one might find in Starbucks or in our kitchens. Instead they have espresso makers, the device pictured to the right. Instead of brewing a pot of coffee, this espresso maker will brew one or a few shots of espresso.
To use it:
1. Screw off the top from the bottom and take the funnel type device out of the bottom.
2. Fill the funnel device with crushed espresso beans (adjust by how strong you want your drink)
3. Fill the bottom cup like device with as much water as you want to brew espresso.
4. Put the funnel-like device back into the bottom so that the tube is sticking into the water.
5. Screw the top back on and place over a lit stove
6. Leave for about 5 minutes (depending on the heat of the stove) or until it begins to bubble over the top, then you know it's quite done.
Ecco espresso!
