Notes

  • It takes too long to heat the water in the siphon brewer with an alcohol burner. Boil the water in a kettle first can speed up the process. 
  • When you attach the filter, make sure you attach the hook to the end of the tube. 
  • Medium grind for pour-over is a good start for siphon coffee. You can grind a bit finer or coarser accordingly. 
  • If you are using a coarser grind or more coffee, you can adjust the brewing time between 90 and 120 seconds. 
  • When you take out the top container after brewing, be careful and don't burn your hands. It's extremely hot.
