How does a siphon pot actually brew coffee?

Water is heated in the lower beaker until pressure pushes it into the upper chamber. You add grounds, stir, and when the heat is removed the coffee is drawn back down through the cloth filter.

What heat source does it need?

It needs an external heat source, such as an alcohol lamp or a small burner. The pot does not heat itself.

How many cups does 500 ml make?

About five small cups, or roughly two to three mugs, depending on how strong you brew.

Is the glass safe on heat?

It is borosilicate glass rated from -10 to 280°C, so it tolerates the brewing cycle. Avoid sudden temperature shocks and direct contact with a bare flame.

The siphon pot, a measuring spoon, a stirring rod and an English manual. The cloth filter is part of the pot.

How do I care for the cloth filter?

Rinse it after each brew and store it wet or submerged so it does not dry out and crack. Replace it when it stops filtering cleanly.

Our take on the Flyhero 5 Cups Vacuum Glass Siphon Pot 500ml Coffee Maker

The Flyhero is a 500 ml siphon (vacuum) coffee maker in borosilicate glass and stainless steel, with a cloth filter, an anti-scald handle and a five-cup capacity. It is a hands-on brewer: you heat water in the lower beaker, the pressure pushes it up into the upper chamber, you stir in the grounds, and the coffee draws back down through the filter. Siphon brewing gives a clean, tea-like cup and a visible show, but it takes attention, a heat source and practice. Against electric siphon brewers it is simpler and cheaper in build, with no automation, timer or keep-warm.

Water is heated in the lower flask with an alcohol lamp. The lamp is included, but the alcohol is not. When the water reaches 95°C, the upper glass holder is pressed down onto the flask.
