Additional Yama Tabletop 3 Cup Vacpot Coffee Siphon & Vacuum Pot Information
|
The Yama 3 Cup Tabletop Vac Pot Coffee Siphon includes alcohol burner/warmer used to boil the water and activate the brewing process. The Yama 3 Cup Tabletop Vac Pot is great for after dinner coffee brewed right at the table and is ideal for restaurant use as well. "Cup" refers to Yama's idea of what a cup should be--it equals about 3-4 ounces for each cup.Directions for use:liUse a slightly finer grind of coffee, somewhere around "auto drip" however you may experiment to taste.liDrop the washable, reusable cloth covered filter into the infussion chamber with the chain hanging down into the glass siphon tube. Pull the chain down until you can hook it to the bottom of the siphon tube.liFill the bottom carafe to the 5 mark with hot water and place 5 measuring spoons of coffee in top chamber.liFill the burner with alcohol, light the burner and place directly beneath the bottom water carafe. The water takes about 4 minutes or longer to heat. Using hot water will speed up the process. liOnce the water reaches boiling temperatures the majority of the water is siphoned through the glass tube, past the filter and into the top chamber holding the ground coffee. Keeping the burner lit and under water carafe allow about 2 minutes to brew.liAfter your 2 minutes is up remove and cap the alcohol burner (heat source).liOnce the coffee starts to cool the liquid is siphoned back down into the bottom carafe. Remove the top, placing it in its convertible lid/stand, and bring the pot to the table for serving.liGently rock the upper carafe back and forth until it can easily be removed and placed into it's stand.liServe and enjoy your fresh great tasting coffee.Although Isopropyl (Rubbing) Alcohol which is available at all drug stores can be used in the alcohol burner, Denatured Alcohol which can be purchased most hardware stores will burn hotter and help heat the water quicker.Check out DaveW's Flickr feed to follow our EspressoParts adventure brewing with the Yama 5 Cup Table

What Customers Say About Yama Tabletop 3 Cup Vacpot Coffee Siphon & Vacuum Pot:
|
|
I definitely recommend the denatured alchohol. However, the fact that you get quite a show while brewing it at your table makes all the difference, It is very entertaining to perform. I have to be honest- the coffee tastes the same as if you made it in auto drip or a camp coffee pot. Do start with hot water so you don't wait as long. I had the 3 cup version until my wife lost her temper one day and thru it out. She has now repented and purchased the 5-cup version which I have to say is better if you have guests over as the 3 cup version makes about 2 cups of american sized cups of coffee. Also, leave the wick sticking out a little further than the directions recommend will make for a bigger flame and thus quicker boiling time. Cheers.
The best way to make coffee in the past has been with vacuum pots. The Yama 3 Cup Vacpot is just the right size for one American size cup of first rate coffee. Watching the action more than makes up for the several minutes it takes when using the alcohol burner to heat the water.
