Step 5:

Place the pot on a stove plate or gas burner with the heat at about 75% or a flame just big enough to cover the base.

Step 6:

Pressure built up by the steam allows the extraction to occur. The water from the bottom chamber will make its way to the top chamber, passing through the coffee grounds.

When you hear a hissing, bubbling sound, the extraction is done, this should take about 2 min.

Remove from the heat source quickly, in order to not over extract the brew.

Pour, drink and enjoy
