About Syphon
Pipe or tube, a device used to protect a pressure sensor from high-temperature media such as steam. These can also be used to reduce the potentiality of the damaging effects of rapid pressure changes. Syphon is a traditional brewing method done mostly in Japan, requiring precise temperature, attention, and skill.[/vc_column_text][vc_images_carousel images=”81,83,82″ img_size=”full” slides_per_view=”3″ hide_pagination_control=”yes” hide_prev_next_buttons=”yes”][vc_column_text]
The Syphon Coffee Machine
Its a vacuum coffee maker that brews coffee using two chambers. A Chambers where vapor pressure and vacuum produce coffee. This type of coffee maker is also known as vac pot, siphon or Syphon coffee maker. It was invented by Loeff of Berlin in the 1830s. These devices have since been used for more than a century in many parts of the world. The design and composition of the vacuum coffee maker vary.
The chamber material is borosilicate glass, metal, or plastic. The filter can be either a glass rod or a screen made of metal, cloth, paper, or nylon. While you have seen siphon coffee makers popping up at more and more specialty coffee shops and retails, the trend of vacuum coffee makers is nothing new.
In fact, the concept dates back in the mid-1800s. It is when people were in agreement that boiling coffee killed the taste. And that’s where they started experimenting with vacuum and vapor pressure. Though the earliest patent for a vacuum coffee maker was filed by Loeff of Berlin in 1830s, Siphon coffee became popular because of a French woman, Madama Vassieux. She used her name on the patent applications and designed the first commercially successful vacuum coffee brewer.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”91″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]
How Does It Work?
- The bottom chamber is filled with water. When it is heated, vapor pressure forces the water to rise into the top chamber where it mixes with Coffee grounds.
- When the heat is turned off, the loss of vapor pressure causes water to drop back into the lower chamber.
- The water drops back through a filter which is placed at the bottom of the upper chamber.
- This drop is due to gravity and a vacuum effect. – This is why Siphon Coffee is also referred to as vacuum brewing.

Syphon Coffee Vs. Other Brews
- Syphon Coffee produces the best flavor, vibrant tasting, that cannot be imitated by a drip brewer.
- You will get an extremely clean and bright cup. No trace of coffee grounds left at the bottom of the cup after you finished it.
- The coffee aroma is more intense. The best part is, who doesn’t love the smell of newly brewed coffee?
- Siphon brewing method enhances the coffee aroma than any other brewing method.
- Users can control variables. Unlike conventional coffee, siphon coffee maker allow users to control coffee strength by adding in as much or little coffee grind as they like.
- It’s a very sensory experience, and it’s actually fun to watch in the process of brewing. It is so fascinating to see art and science in action.
- You can use one at home. KitchenAid has developed a Siphon Coffee Brewer for use at home that removes the barriers of practicing this method of coffee making for the average person.

Reasons Why It’s The Best!
- Siphon coffee tends to be more delicate, nuanced, and fascinating.
- The brewing process tends to produce a less bold and intense flavor, allowing the more subtle complex notes to shine through.
- Since the stainless steel piece is wrapped in special cloth, the micro-grounds aren’t able to drop into your final brew. However, the oils still are.
- This takes away the grittiness and deeper flavor notes of the micro-grounds. And also allows the coffee crisp acids to poke out some more.
- It also allows the creaminess and rich aromatics of the natural oils to add complexity to your brew.
- Siphon coffee tends to be; Bright, Complex, Nuanced, Light and Creamy-Bodied
