did it explode? put the water level just below the relief valve, don't pack the coffee grounds down, don't set the flame too high, and make sure the rubber gasket is there and in good shape. should work fine then.
when it starts making a loud gurgly sound you should lift the lid a little and watch and when it's just spewing foam it's probably ready. you can also just watch the level and guestimate. works for me anyway...
