After mounting the upper cylinder over the Tumbler like the lower part, the coffee powder has to be added and the perforated disc with handle should be placed. Boiled water is poured over it and should be kept close for hours, so thick decoction will get collected inside the tumbler. For that, it will take a couple of hours. The filter coffee has a rich flavor much superior to Espresso and it is very strong too.
