You may have never heard of siphon coffee making. Then again, you may have read about it in the New York Times and thought it was some $20,000 gizmo used by crazy coffee nerds in San Francisco. You may have heard of it under a plethora of other names - vacpots, vacuum brewed coffee, siphon brewer, siphon vacuum coffee, and all sorts of word combinations.

This brewing method fell out of favour in the US and Canada by the 1960s, and with only a few holdovers making devices for the next few decades. Most of the major brands that used to make siphon coffee makers eased them out of production during that time, including General Electric, Silex, Sunbeam, Cory and others. Still, the brewing method maintained a hard core set of fans, maybe just in the hundreds, or dozens, and a few manufacturers continued to produce them: Bodum has continuously made a siphon coffee maker since the 1970s.

What I Am Drinking: Malawi Mapanga AAA

01.01.70

This morning, I was very excited to wake up because I know that today, I will have the ability to make myself quality coffee. The coffee I'm excited to be drinking today is the Malawi Mapanga AAA roasted to a City+ ten days ago by me (I know, it passed a week after roast but due to my situation, I was not able to brew it earlier). The coffee was roasted and stored in quart size mason jar and packed away in shipping box. When I opened the lid of the jar this morning, the lid pop out with a loud pop and a nice fresh aroma greeted me.

As I have said, the coffee was roasted very light, but I decided to make an espresso with it in the La Pavoni anyway. I figure that to tame the acidity, I will have to grind finer and dose lower; this I did (12.5 grams) with the Baratza Vario. On the espresso machine side, I flushing much more hot water to bring the group head's temperature higher than normal for a higher brewing temperature (easily acomplished with the OE's Temperature strip).

Where to buy liquid alchol fuel for my siphon coffee maker in uptown Toronto?

Jan 03, 2008 by elmo | Posted in Non-Alcoholic Drinks

I am also looking for a small gas burner for the same use.

Thank you and happy new year.

Try asking for denatured alcohol. Most paint stores or sporting goods stores should carry it.
