Put the desired number of cups of water (translates into how much coffee) into the base (bottom) of the percolator. Load the percolator coffee grounds basket with the desired amount of coffee ( 1 rounded tablespoon = 1 cup), then put the strainer basket onto the (stem) center thing - It is similar in appearance to a long straw, and has a fitted place where the strainer basket goes at the top. It has a foot-thing at the bottom that goes into the bottom of the percolator. The idea is that the water goes into the bottom, and as it gets hot it is drawn through the "stem" to the top, where it drizzles down over the coffee grounds in the strainer basket, drips down into the bottom of the percolator, then starts the process over again. It is a circulating motion that brews the coffee grounds as they are soaked in the water. NEVER OPEN THE TOP OF THE PERCOLATOR WHILE IT IS BREWING! The longer the water percolates over the coffee grounds, the stronger the coffee brew becomes. With practice you will learn how much coffee, how long to brew and percolate, etc.
