Hello Teg,

The supplier has advised the following for the Pezzetti Italexpress Aluminium 3 Cup Coffee Maker:

In general, any surface capable of transmitting heat and bringing the boiler of the coffee maker to a boil can be considered suitable. However, they do advise that they cannot confirm with 100% accuracy without being able to see the design, size, and specs of the specific burner.

(The surface it goes on would need to be level, flat, wide enough, and stable enough for the coffee maker to rest on it safely while it heats. Also, we'd be assuming that it'd not be in direct contact with the smoke and the logs themselves which is not likely to be suitable, i.e. it'd be OK if the burner has hotplate/top onto which you can put items for heating/cooking).

Thank you for using Q&A.

Hello shotaway.

After contacting our suppliers they have advised for Pezzetti Italexpress Aluminium 3 Cup Coffee Maker:

Kindly note that none of our coffee makers are true coffee percolators. They are all moka pots with a filter in which the coffee is placed.

Moka Pot: Uses steam pressure to force hot water through finely-ground coffee, producing a strong, espresso-like brew.
Percolator: Uses a continuous cycle of boiling water passing through medium-ground coffee, resulting in a more traditional drip coffee.

Thank you for using Q&A.

Hi Linda,

The supplier has advised the following for the Pezzetti Italexpress Aluminium 3 Cup Coffee Maker:

This works in a similar way to a stove top kettle. It’s not an electrical appliance. You’d fill it up with water and then heat it on the hob. The user manual gives further details.

1. Fill the lower container with cold water without exceeding the hole of the safety valve.
2. Put the funnel filter into the lower container and fill it with medium ground coffee without pressing the coffee and without leaving any coffee on the container edges.
3. Screw the upper section to the lower container firmly without prizing the handle.
4. Put the coffee maker on the cooker and wait a few minutes until the coffee had flowed into the upper container.
5. Remove the coffee maker from the heat and serve the coffee.

(If you are using an electric cooker, the "plate" diameter must be the same size or smaller than the coffee maker's bottom. If you are using a gas cooker, the flame should not be bigger than the coffee maker bottom. It's not suitable for induction though).

Thank you for using Q&A.
