Vintage Hario Coffee Syphon
Item Number: 153
Time Left: CLOSED
Description
Enjoy a cup of coffee by preparing it with an elegant and dramatic flair using this Hario Coffee Syphon. It's quaint floral trim and glass details are as theatrical as they are functional.
In a coffee syphon, there are two chambers, and the first is filled with water. By heating the bottom chamber, vapor pressure forces the water to rise into the upper chamber. Here it is mixed with the coffee grounds.
The water, now mixed with the grounds, is pulled back down into the lower chamber (thanks to gravity and a drop in pressure, the "vacuum" effect), through a filter which sits at the bottom of the upper chamber, and the bottom chamber in turn fills with brewed coffee.
