Yama Vac-Pot - 8 Cup Vacuum Pot Siphon Coffee Brewer

Yama Vac-Pot - 8 Cup Vacuum Pot Siphon Coffee Brewer

This is an 8 cup capacity vacuum pot coffee brewer made by Yama. Items included with your brewer are a filter cloth, filter assembly, measuring spoon, lid/stand, and the vacuum brewer. Additional Filters are available separately also. When "cup" is mentioned it means about 3 to 4 ounces for each cup.

Directions:
First you need to use a slightly finer grind of coffee such as auto drip grind. Then drop the filter into the infusion chamber making sure the chain is hanging down into the glass siphon tube. The pull the chain and hook it to the bottom of the tube. Now fill the bottom carafe with hot water until you reach the 8 cup mark. Then put 8 measuring spoons of coffee into the top chamber. Place the coffee siphon on the burner using the wire trivet that is between the siphon and the burner and turn to medium heat. As the water is boiling it will be siphoned into the top chamber infusing with the coffee grounds. A small amount of water will remain in the bottom chamber, don't worry about that. You brew for about 60 seconds and then take the pot off of the heat source. After the coffee starts cooling the brew is siphoned back into the bottom carafe. Take off the top and place it in the convertible stand/lid. To remove the upper carafe you need to rock the upper carafe until it can be easily removed. Now the coffee is ready for serving.

You can use Isopropyl alcohol which can be purchased at any drug store in the alcohol burner. However, denatured alcohol will burn hotter giving you coffee quicker. This is available at most hardware stores.


PROS:

  • Excellent tasting coffee, far exceeding the taste of drip coffeemaker coffee
  • Taste Comparable to a French Press but without the sediment


    CONS:

  • Takes more effort to use
  • Time consuming
  • Handle-collar tends to loosen after time, just tighten the screw
  • Top heavy design

    Yama 8 Cup Vacuum Pot Siphon Brewer Summary:

    If you want great tasting coffee this is for you. It makes coffee as good or better than a french press, but unlike the french press it doesn't leave any sediment in the brewed coffee. It is time consuming and takes more effort to use than a drip coffeemaker, but well worth the effort. Even low grade coffees tend to taste very good with this vacuum brewer.
