The preparation
First of all, to make a real Neapolitan coffee, you have to have it Neapolitan machine. Not the octagonal one, but that one circular, the cuccumella.
The coffee brand is essential. It will have to be of good quality and without any blend with other kinds of coffee, as well as clearly respecting your taste. Use cold water: tap water too, but if it contains too much limestone, use plain water.
You have to fill the water tank up about 5 millimeters from the hole at the top and insert the ground coffee in the second tank, making sure that the mountain of coffee arrives just above the edge. Consider, as a quantity, a abundant spoon per person.
Then, you will have to screw the filter on the coffee tank and insert the container into the water tank, without letting it come out. At this point, you can screw everything into the tank that will contain the coffee ready. Once the coffee pot has been placed on the stove, wait for the steam to puff out of the small hole for turn the coffee pot upside down with a sharp blow and let the water fall into the filter and collect it in the empty tank. This operation can last for about ten minutes.
