How to make. In this method the coffee is put in the upper part of the pot, and the water passes slowly through, collecting below in the pot from which it is served. Stand the lower part of the pot in a pan of hot water, or where it will keep hot. Measure and bring the water to the boiling point. Heat the ground coffee slightly, put it in the upper section of the pot, and pour on the water very slowly. Of course the water is not actually boiling when it touches the coffee. If the liquid coffee is not strong enough, pour it from the lower part and pass it through the grounds again.
