- Once the water is boiling, remove the pot from the heat and add the ground coffee.
- Stir the mixture well and return the pot to the heat.
- Bring the coffee to a simmer and let it cook for about 3-4 minutes. Do not let it boil.
- Remove the pot from the heat and let it sit for another minute.
- Carefully pour the coffee into small cups, making sure to pour the foam on top of each cup.
