Bro. I am a 4 years experinced barista (worked with coffee blends for 4 years and also cold beverages) and a filter coffee (single origine coffee) trainee. This is an amazing explaination video. Thank you very much. Regards and love from Alexandria Egypt🤍
Technically because it is. Scientifically it uses percolation to push water through coffee through a filter and up into the brew chamber. Although it's not what the coffee world considers a percolator.
I just purchased the same model, and the instructions are nothing short of hilarious - translation is horrible, so this video was a welcome breath of fresh air. Thanks!
Thanks, very informative....I can now see the appeal eventhough it seems to take forever for just one cup. But I do think you can't get it anymore authentic than this. You convinced and converted me. From a Nescafe to a home brewed cuppa.
You can save alot of time by using an electric grinder if they are too expensive In college I just took the hand crank off my manual grinder and just attached the shaft to the chuck of my cordless drill no arm strain and it grinds alot faster
So what would happen if you took an aloe vera plant out of its pot and dropped it in and did that. and then brought it back to life with a yama cold brew tower. and extracted the aloe vera over again?
His windscreen is upside down, the way he has it is how the burner is stored. Regardless of the windscreen the problem is his really low flame, It started from barely a tea candle flame to a stronger flame later in the video. My guess us he probably had the wick too low. He says he is using methanol which is a great fuel, so it had to be wick length. Here in the US we usually use denatured alcohol, but our gas additive HEET, the yellow bottle, is methanol and some people use that. I get no soot with the HEET and negligible soot with denatured alcohol, but I use the later due to cost. I've tried Isopropyl alcohol and ended up with a big cleaning project as the bottom glass gets really black. When I bring the water to a boil and pour it into the pot, it takes less than 30 seconds before the water starts working it's way up. the spout when I introduce the flame. If he is using a cotton filter you have to boil it first and cool it off. It should be damp when you put it in the siphon glass so you get a better seal. I just cut and fit a paper coffee filter, again you have to wet it before inserting it.
You mean how to fill the burner with denatured alcohol (its fuel)? Just remove the part that holds the wick and pour in the fuel. Wait a few minutes after putting the wick-holder back into place, so that the wick gets fully soaked with fuel.
9:10 "break the seal" what do you mean? You didn't show/do anything, it just cut. How do you break the seal? I don't own one of these, I'm just interested and might get one some day but want to know how they work and how to operate them
Forget that line. You don't do anything at that stage, the vacuum develops and the coffee is sucked through the strainer/filter into the bottom caraffe. When all coffee has gone through, air is sucked in and the vacuum is gone. All happens without the need for the user to do anything so far. Then your remove the funnel and enjoy your coffee. Beware: It is most likely very hot!
Hi, mate I've seen lots of syphon recipes in RUclips, but one thing that confuses me is brewing time. I see you just stirr and then turn off the heat while in other videos they let the coffee brewing for 45 seconds, one minute, etc ... So what's your suggestion? Thanks
just finer than for a French press. So, pretty coarse, but not as coarse as for a press. I have my Baratza Virtuoso grinder set on 32 if that's any help.
You can, but tea requires a longer period of steeping. What's often confused is that it's boiling water in the upper chamber, when in fact it's heated air being released by the water boiling in the lower chamber. So, you're tea would be circulated, but it will take longer than coffee. Also, you want to use already heated water in the lower chamber in order to speed up the process.
How to use a syphon coffee maker? Recommend it to all your friends, visit the one that's snob enough to buy it and save yourself the money and the aggravation...
Now that's the coffee brewer for me through a chunk of cannabis in there to go with that favorite coffee of yours it'll add an extra bite that will last a lot longer, I like my coffee black, and it's easier on your lungs.
One of the best cups I've ever had to be honest. Saw this for the first time at a local coffee shop (Java Smuggler, Boonton NJ) using a bourbon aged ground. Flavor was intense.
Yeah that's not how thermal dynamics works. Go test it. Get some ice water and pour it in a pot, see how long it takes to boil. Then let the pot cool and do the same amount of hot water. Tell me which boils faster
That's physically impossible. Especially since water is literally the standard used in thermal dynamics because of how consistently heats up. As in the unit of measurement of thermal energy is how much energy it takes to heat water by 1 degree. If cold water boiled faster than hot water, then the entire field of thermal dynamics would fall apart.
So cold water becomes hot water and then boils? And somehow that's faster than hot water boiling? I think you're thinking of that thing about how hot water freezes faster than cold water. Which isn't entirely true. Hot water starts to freeze before cold water, but cold water still freezes solid faster.

I just inherited a 90 year old stovetop siphon my grandmother got on her wedding day. I am hooked! It makes my home grown herb teas amazing!

I use mine once in a blue moon but I've always felt it had such a clean delicate taste a true treat❤
Correction:Not gravity but the vacuum pulls the coffee in the bottom chamber.
This man just called a moka pot a percolator
Technically because it is. Scientifically it uses percolation to push water through coffee through a filter and up into the brew chamber. Although it's not what the coffee world considers a percolator.
How is this any different from a french press, you put coffee grounds in hot / boiling water and then filter out the coffee grounds.
I just purchased the same model, and the instructions are nothing short of hilarious - translation is horrible, so this video was a welcome breath of fresh air. Thanks!
I was excited about tasting a new brewing method. My wife informed me that uses the science our Bodum used. It was one we used for camping.

Yes. I am excited to discover this at a Philippines Starbucks. I ordered a siphon set, waiting to make my first siphon brew!
So what would happen if you took an aloe vera plant out of its pot and dropped it in and did that. and then brought it back to life with a yama cold brew tower. and extracted the aloe vera over again?
These can be made. Just look up 'how to make siphon coffee brewer'. It's really neat to watch
You didn't show how to clean it afterwards.
I think the cover for the flame is placed up side down.
His windscreen is upside down, the way he has it is how the burner is stored.

The coffee nerd in me wants one of these so bad
I just bought one and tried it for the first time. Isnt as hard as it looks
@@RadicalAnthropoid
"Isn't as hard as it looks."
Yeah well, it looks dead simple.
But a vintage one. The new ones are stupid expensive
How to load the burner
You mean how to fill the burner with denatured alcohol (its fuel)? Just remove the part that holds the wick and pour in the fuel. Wait a few minutes after putting the wick-holder back into place, so that the wick gets fully soaked with fuel.
Break the seal - how?
Fantastic vid. Very helpful

I would suggest 45 seconds for dark roast, and 1:45 for medium
Question. Do you have to make a full pot every time.
No just adjust how much water and coffee grounds you put in
Has anyone noticed significant quality differences using a cloth filter vs a permanent metal stainless mesh filter?
Definitely, paper/cloth is way better than metal.
Nice Video. But would it theoretically be possible to brew to with it?
tea*
I don’t see why not
I put lighter fluid in mine and that was a terrible idea
Beautiful, thank you.
What is grind level in coffee
just finer than for a French press. So, pretty coarse, but not as coarse as for a press. I have my Baratza Virtuoso grinder set on 32 if that's any help.
Can you make tea with this?
You can, but tea requires a longer period of steeping.

Great video mate. Thanks!
Appreciate the kind words, vortexrec!
Great video. Thanks.

👏🏻👏🏻
Love my coffee bit no WAY I'm going to that much trouble....lol. Got a free one but still..,...🙄.
Good stuff, but the pot at 3:30 is not a percolator, it is a Moka Pot.
He doesn't know the difference between a percolator and moka pot
Now that's the coffee brewer for me through a chunk of cannabis in there to go with that favorite coffee of yours it'll add an extra bite that will last a lot longer, I like my coffee black, and it's easier on your lungs.
thanks for the vid , but it Doesnt look very practical
Is this good coffee or shit coffee ??
One of the best cups I've ever had to be honest. Saw this for the first time at a local coffee shop (Java Smuggler, Boonton NJ) using a bourbon aged ground. Flavor was intense.
Actually cold water boils faster than warm water
Yup, and hot water freezes quicker than cold water...
That’s a myth.
Yeah that's not how thermal dynamics works. Go test it. Get some ice water and pour it in a pot, see how long it takes to boil. Then let the pot cool and do the same amount of hot water. Tell me which boils faster
Myth. Not true.

Bro Cold water heats up faster than warm or hot water lol
So cold water becomes hot water and then boils? And somehow that's faster than hot water boiling? I think you're thinking of that thing about how hot water freezes faster than cold water.
