Engrish

I have purchase coffe maker that make Italian treat coffee. Wanting being safe I reading directions yester day. Directions are writing someone speak English very good. Here some.

3. Screw firmly the upper section to the lower one, then put the coffe-maker on the stove-top (electric or gas)

4. Wait few minutes until the coffee has flowed into the upper section. You will notice it by its typical noise.

Now I realize that the coffee-maker is supposed to make odorless and colorless coffee. Otherwise you would notice the coffee by looking through the window in the top of the pot and seeing it, or you might even smell it. As a first-time user, one wonders what the typical noise of coffee might be.

Warnings too!

Be sure the coffee maker is strongly closed before use.

After use, wait for the coffee maker to get cold before open it.

So we would need to reheat the coffee?

Well, it was a good mug of espresso.

Seriously, seeing directions like this on products makes me feel more sympathy for foreign language students. They try and try but still manage to say barbaric things in Latin and Greek. Keep trying! You manage to get the point across even if you sound quite foreign.
