you put water in a pot, then a strainer goes in with water you want to make in it. The water boils goes up the tube and strain back threw the tea or coffee let it perk until it is the way you like it. Some stop on there own. anyway my Mom love coffee from onesaid it was the best.

There's a great explanation here, with a picture that makes it a little easier to understand.
