Every now and again, Horace and I whip out the ol' siphon coffee pot and make up some delicious joe. Horace worked as a barista in college, so he was always looking for new methods of making coffee. The siphon pot is not too complicated and it makes a smooth, almost tea-like coffee. The best part is just how fun it is to watch it brew.
How to:
Start with freshly ground coffee (a bit finer than drip grounds) and some hot water. Put the hot water in the pot and the coffee in the upper container. Assemble the whole thing and put the flame beneath the pot. Watch the water come into the top and let it brew for about 2 minutes, mixing it every now and then. Pull the flame out from below and wait for the coffee to come down into the pot. Take off the top and enjoy!
You can sometimes find siphon pots at the hip coffee shops around town, but you can also get one online from the great Ceremony Coffee Roasters here. We use the Yama 5 Cup Pot.
