Besides espresso machines, siphons may be the most elaborate coffee
brewers out there. They require close attention and quick, careful
technique but offer a wonderful reward. Using a siphon is just plain
fun and the coffee they brew is nothing short of delicious. Full
immersion brewing brings out coffee's intense fruity flavors —
especially with dry processed beans — and the standard cloth filter
yields a cup so clean you could drink out of it. (That is the
point, right?) When it comes to the presence of sediment, siphons are
the polar opposite of metal-filtered presses. Paired with a butane burner, a siphon offers control of many brewing
variables, making it a perfect choice for coffee geeks and control
freaks. The siphon is one of our favorite coffee toys and we're certain
that you'll enjoy them just as much.
