at one time, the product had labelling indicating " expresso maker " but since you use your own physical strength to operate it, you cannot make true expresso
you put in the dry coffee grounds, I grind my own, into a large tube closed at one end with a plunger, add heated water ( 205 degrees F ), you close the open end with the flow through cap with a filter between the cap and the liquid, I wait 120 seconds, don't ask me why, turn it upside down over a cup and press the hot water and grounds through the larger tube, filter and cap and the brewed coffee flows into the cup. ( this is what they call the "reverse method " )
you can drink the " slug " of concentrated coffee or add water and other ingredients to it to make it a larger more diluted cup of coffee. my glass mug holds 15 oz so I could divide that for about 2 8 oz cups, but I don't
it's all mine
[ the slug alone was what they originally called " expresso " ]
