Sam Jelfs Feb 2021 8:21pm, 17 Feb 2021 892 posts	0 Sam Jelfs Siphon / vacuum coffee. As the water boils it's forced up from the bottom ball into the top, and when you remove the heat the vacuum created when it cools pulls the liquid back down through the grounds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5okwfBPz6s8

Sam Jelfs Feb 2021 8:36pm, 17 Feb 2021 893 posts	0 Sam Jelfs It's not forced through the grounds under pressure, so it's more like a French press than an espresso, but quite a nice clear bright brew. The fabric filter makes sure you get no grounds at all in your cup. Easy to control how long you want it to steep for. To be honest, I just like the look / act of using it :-D
Hanneke Feb 2021 8:54pm, 17 Feb 2021 70,723 posts	0 Hanneke I seriously like the look and the ritualistic/chemistry way of making it. I think I shall get one for my new Herb Building when it is built.
