Step 5: Turn cuccuma
Now turn the cuccuma so that the jug is at the bottom.

- You can also use the cuccuma directly on the stove - it is important that the water does not boil, as the coffee may burn and taste bitter.
- After turning the Napoletana upside down, Neapolitans traditionally put a cone-shaped paper hat, called a coppetiello, over the spout of the pot. In this way, they preserve the aroma in the cuccuma.
