Vacuum (siphon )coffee maker - is anyone familiar with this type of coffee maker? I have some spare parts if someone wants to experiment. Here is youtube showing the kit (paraphernalia): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgSCHyF_XO8
What I did was grind the coffee too fine and the bottom bowl imploded. Siphon coffee uses basic physics - water expands when heated to vapor, water contracts when vapor cools. Heat water in a closed pot and we have a pressure cooker. Siphon coffee - there is an outlet in the pressure vessel that is submerged in the hot water and drives the hot water out of the bottom due to expanding water vapor. Remove the heat and the resultant vacuum in the bottom vacuum sucks the brew in the top, thru the filter in to the bottom pot. This is my favorite coffee brew method, except when I use grinds finer than french press and choke the filter and implode the bottom bowl - btdt several times, which is why I offer a top bowl to someone that perhaps wants to experiment in siphon coffee. Details: You pay actual shipping (~$7) and I ship top bowl, filter plate, top cover plastic, wire trivet. You buy bottom bowl and 5 filter cloth all at closeout price at orphanespresso ($11+$4+shipping) and you too learn the fun of a wonderful cupp siphon coffee. Careful - i.e. do not grind coffee too fine. mao _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
