Vacuum coffee makers are just damn cool
There’s a certain steam-punk aesthetic to vacuum coffee makers. They’ve got loads of glass, fittings, metal, and a why-not attitude. They look great and make a super cup of joe. Here are some cool examples:
Northwest Glass Yama Coffee Siphon Vacuum Pot
This is made of heat resistant borosilicate glass and includes a bamboo stir stick and an alcohol burner. This reminds me of something I bought in a Paris flea market. I only got the stand and the bottom part of the pot. It made a cool looking vase.
Northwest Glass Yama Stovetop Coffee Siphon
This one is for the closeted steam punk that wants to play with the glass but not make it too obvious.
Northwest Glass Yama 20-Ounce Ceramic Base Siphon Vacuum
This one is for the party people out there. It’s bigger, badder, and bolder.
How does a vacuum coffee pot work?
The CoffeeGeek knows how:
A vacuum coffee maker works on the principle of expansion and contraction of gases – actually one gas, water vapour – is what allows the device to brew a full infusion style of coffee and filter the grounds efficiently, leaving a generally clean, pristine cup.
