And yeah, the aluminum ones won't work on induction. It's a shame IKEA discontinued the RADIG and METALLISK stainless steel moka pots. The latter in particular is my favorite, though I think half their production was recalled when they switched from brass to stainless safety valves (mine's brass, thankfully).
I typically boil a kettle of water to speed up the process. Hot water goes in the bottom chamber, then the funnel of coffee, then screw the top chamber tightly to avoid leaks.
Turn the stove to 20-30% and let the magic happen. As the water heats up, it gets pulled through the coffee into the top chamber. Slower is better as it avoids burning the flavor and makes the pull nice and slow. You don't want a sputtering geyser. It may take 6-8 mins for the process to begin. If the base gets too hot and you get a geyser, then it's okay to run lukewarm water over it to slow it down.
Once the sputtering is almost over or stops, then you're done! It's okay if not all the water from the bottom chamber flows to the top. Enjoy! Don't drink the silt.
