5 Cup Yama Stove Top Vacuum Coffee Brewer

The Yama Vacuum Coffee Brewer is Back!

Also known as a Coffee Syphon or Coffee Siphon

This is the 5 cup model, but the cups are only 4 or 5 ounce cups, not the American sized cup of 12 to 16 ounces! It should give you 2 honest cups of coffee, with our homes coffee cups we get 2 full with a little left over.

If you've never had vacuum brewed coffee before, you'll be in for a treat, both visually and in taste with our Yama Vacuum Coffee Pot.

Vacuum brewed coffee was initially invented in the 1840s in France, and became very popular in the United States around the middle part of the 20th century. Companies like Silex, Sunbeam, Westinghouse, General Electric, Cory and others had entire lines of vacuum brewers for sale during this period. This brewing method undeniably produced the best tasting filter coffee, but it lost favor in the convenience obsessed America of the 1950 and beyond. While other parts of the world continued to use vacuum brewers (most notably Europe and Japan), in the U.S., percolation, auto drip and instant coffees gradually replaced vacuum brewing use, bringing super convenient (yet also super bad tasting) coffee to the American breakfast table.

Today, quality coffee is making a major comeback in North America, and as a result, people are starting to use vacuum brewers again. Their technique of brewing your coffee at perfect brewing temperatures ensures a perfect cup. And the way it makes the coffee! Everyone who sees a vac pot in action is amazed at the process. You will be amazed as well.

Our Yama Vacuum Brewers produce 5 cups or 8 cups, (depending on model) of quality coffee, and requires a slightly finer grind than normal auto drip, though it is very forgiving for almost any grind type. This model works on gas and electric range tops, and comes with a wire diffuser for use on electric coil burners. It takes about 4 minutes to heat the water, and another 2 minutes to brew. Once you remove from the heat source, the "kick down" takes about 30 seconds and is the best part of the show. Remove the top, placing it in its convertible lid/stand, and bring the pot to the table for serving.

The Yama Vacuum Brewer ships with one filter cloth, the filter assembly, a measuring spoon, lid/stand, and the vacuum brewer, and comes with a 6 month warranty. Additional filters are available for an additional charge.

• Capacity: approximately 22 ounces
