The syphon brew method involves using a two-chambered glass or metal apparatus that relies on vapor pressure and gravity to brew a clean and flavorful cup of coffee.
1. Place the bottom bowl on a heat source, such as a gas burner or an electric heater. The top bowl is initially placed above the bottom bowl, acting as a reservoir for water. As the water in the bottom bowl heats up and generates steam, pressure builds up, forcing the water into the upper chamber.
2. While the water is being drawn into the upper chamber, you add coffee grounds to the bottom bowl. The coffee grounds should have a medium to coarse grind size to prevent them from passing through the filter in the upper chamber. Once all the water has transferred to the upper chamber, you stir the coffee grounds gently to ensure even extraction. The coffee steeps in the upper chamber for a designated brewing time, allowing the flavors to develop.
3. After the brewing time, the heat source is removed, causing the brewed coffee to be pulled back down through the filter and into the bottom bowl due to the force of gravity. The syphon brew apparatus usually has a cloth, metal, or paper filter in the upper chamber. This filter prevents the coffee grounds from ending up in the final cup. The filter catches any residue as the brewed coffee is drawn back down into the bottom bowl.
4. The brewed coffee in the bottom bowl is ready to be poured and served. The Syphon brewing is known for producing a clean, flavorful, and aromatic cup of coffee.
