“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.”

excerpt from Mark Prince’s
“Using a Siphon Coffee Maker” guide on coffeegeek.com

I’ve watched them brew coffee at Transcend using these Yama coffee makers, and it’s definitely a bit of a show.  Haven’t actually tried the resulting coffee – which I think I’ll make a point of doing next time I’m there – and then perhaps pick one of these up.  It’s nice having the tools to prepare coffee in different ways – and this is definitely a less expensive approach compared to bringing home a Technivorm ;^)
