The Yama Tabletop Siphon is a stovetop-style vacuum brewer: heat the bottom chamber, water rises into the top, coffee steeps fully, and removing the heat pulls the brew back down through a cloth filter. It produces a clean, clear cup with full immersion and lets you use a finer grind than drip or French press. It suits brewers who enjoy the ritual and want to explore grind and temperature. Against automated siphon brewers it is fully manual, and against a pour-over it adds theater and a cloth-filtered body at the cost of more steps and cleanup.

Owners rate it highly and praise the clarity of the cup and the brewing experience. Complaints center on the learning curve and the fragility of the glass.
The Yama Tabletop Siphon is a manual vacuum coffee maker. Heat applied to the bottom chamber builds vapor pressure that pushes hot water up into the top chamber, at a suitable temperature for brewing. The coffee is fully immersed in the top chamber.
When the heat is removed, a vacuum forms below and draws the brewed coffee back down through a cloth filter. This vacuum and cloth filtration allow a finer grind while keeping the benefits of full immersion. The result is a clean, clear cup without losing intensity.
The set includes a siphon with stand, a filter assembly, a cloth filter, a scoop/stirrer and an alcohol burner. The plastic lid doubles as a stand for the top chamber after brewing. The siphon is made of heat-resistant glass, and replacement parts are available.
