To use the portable espresso maker, first remove the cup from the top of the gadget and unscrew the portafilter underneath. Next, use the included scoop to add 8 grams of coffee grounds to the filter basket and screw all the pieces back into the top. Now you can remove the water tank from the bottom and add in boiling water up to the line. Once you reattach the water tank, twist the piston in the middle of the gadget counterclockwise to unlock it and pump it over the cup to produce the espresso.
