The Siphon Experience: A Guide to Vacuum Pot Coffee
Explore the art and science of siphon coffee brewing. This guide provides a detailed recipe for using a vacuum pot to create an exceptionally clean, crisp, and aromatic cup of coffee.
Ingredients
- 38g of coffee beans
- 600g of filtered water
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Filter and Water - Soak the cloth filter in warm water and secure it. Add 600g of preheated water to the bottom chamber.
- Step 2: Grind Your Coffee - Grind 38g of coffee to a medium-fine consistency, like table salt.
- Step 3: The Ascent - Assemble the siphon, heat the bottom bulb to force the water into the top chamber, then reduce heat to maintain 190-195°F (88-90°C).
- Step 4: Brew the Coffee - Add the coffee to the top chamber, stir, and brew for 1 minute and 15 seconds.
- Step 5: The Drawdown - Remove the heat source. The cooling will create a vacuum, pulling the brewed coffee back down through the filter.
