Two glass chambers are suspended on a tabletop stand, filled with water, and heated by an open flame. The expansion of hot air in the lower chamber forces water upwards and keeps it "floating" above. Coffee is then added to the top chamber, where it’s steeped in hot water for a relatively short amount of time until it’s filtered on the way down. When the flame is extinguished, the cooling air in the lower chamber allows the coffee to fall below. Complete immersion of the grounds results in a complex and intensely flavorful cup, while the cloth filter keeps it smooth and free from undesirable sediment.
A coffee syphon with an outstanding presentation
While enjoying a rich aroma, you can also visually enjoy the coffee moving up and down through the glass bowl. If the extraction times are the same, there is little difference in flavor, making this apparatus a favorite amongst professionals.
