How does a siphon brewer work?

Water in the lower bowl is heated until vapor pushes it up into the upper chamber. The grounds steep there, then the brew is drawn back down through the cloth filter as the lower bowl cools.

Does it need paper filters?

No. It uses a reusable cloth filter, which lets more oils through than paper and gives a fuller body. Rinse it after each brew and replace it when it stains or tears.

What heat source does it work on?

It is designed for several heat sources, including gas and electric burners. Keep the glass off direct high flame and use a moderate setting so the chambers heat evenly.

How many cups does it make?

Three cups, which suits one or two people. It is not built for large batches.

The glass parts rinse clean and the cloth filter is washable. Let the chambers cool before rinsing so the glass is not shocked.

Is it safe to use daily?

The borosilicate glass is heat-resistant, but this model has no written warranty and no NRTL listing. Inspect the glass for chips before each brew and discard any cracked part.

Our take on the Siphon Coffee Maker 3 Cup Glass Vacuum Brewer

A three-cup siphon brewer with a borosilicate glass upper and lower chamber, a stainless steel stand and a reusable cloth filter. It brews by vapor pressure: water rises into the upper chamber, meets the grounds, then draws back down through the cloth filter into the lower bowl. The cloth filter keeps more oils than paper, so cups taste fuller and rounder. It suits one or two people who want a showy, hands-on brew and don't mind a little practice and cleanup. Against electric siphon models it is simpler and needs a separate heat source, and against a pour-over it is slower but more theatrical.
