Watch for Foam
As the coffee heats, watch for the foam to start forming. Do not stir once the mixture begins to foam, as this will help create a rich crema.

Remove from Heat
Once the foam rises to the top, remove the pot from the heat to prevent boiling over. Allow it to settle for a few seconds.

Repeat Heating
Return the pot to the heat and allow it to foam again. Remove from heat once more. Repeat this process 2-3 times to achieve a strong flavor.
