Question by tiger lou: How do you know when espresso is finished brewing?
I have a stovetop espresso maker (the classic aluminum kind). How strong should the heat be when I put the pot on the stove? How do I know when the espresso has finished perking? Should all the water in the reservoir perk out, or will there be some water left?
I have another stovetop espresso maker that perks the coffee right into the cup. With that one I know it’s finished bc the coffee stops running out. But w this other pot I can’t lift the lid to check until after I turn off the gas (or should I perk it w the lid lifted?!).
My first two attempts have yielded “cowboy coffee.”
Also I’ll add that the gas and ventilation fan are both so noisy that I can’t hear the coffee perking.

The machine starts to rumble real loud and then starts to calm down. It’s done just before it start to calm down. Leave it on too long and your coffee will taste like sh*t. Don’t worry about any leftover water in the container. You can also put the heat on full blast – but some people like a lower heat.

Coffee Your Way!
It’s the idea that you’re entitled to premium coffee and tea delivered right to your door on the schedule you choose. It’s an idea that stretches all the way back to Victor Theodor Engwall, who started his trading company in the seaside town of Gävle, Sweden in 1853. Victor imported coffees he felt were among the world’s finest. People agreed with him – his business took off, and Victor became the Royal Court of Sweden’s official coffee purveyor.
These days, we’re still finding ways to keep coffee lovers satisfied – cup after perfect cup. That means seeking out, blending, and roasting some of the finest coffees available anywhere.
We still handcraft Gevalia coffee in Gävle, Sweden. And yes, the Royal Court of Sweden still drinks Gevalia – shouldn’t you?
