YOUR NEW GOURMIA
SIPHON COFFEE BREWER
A NEW & SLEEK INTERPRETATION
OF AN OLD ARTFORM
A “vacuum” coee maker brews
coee using two chambers where
vapor pressure and vacuum pro-
duce coee. This type of coee
maker is also known as vac pot,
siphon or syphon coee maker,
and was invented in the 1830s.
These devices have since been
used for more than a century in
many parts of the world. While
vacuum coee makers generally
were excessively complex for ev-
eryday use, they were prized for
producing an exceptionally
clear brew, and were quite
popular until the middle of the
twentieth century.
Our new and innovative Siphon
Coee Brewer combines all the
quality and excitement of its

ASSEMBLING THE SIPHON COFFEE BREWER
The Gourmia Siphon Coee Brewer is a
vacuum coee maker which operates as
a siphon, where heating and cooling the
lower vessel changes the vapor pressure of
water in the lower, rst pushing the water
up into the upper tank, then allowing the
water to fall back down into the lower
vessel (carafe).
The principle of a vacuum coee maker is
to heat water in the lower vessel (A) of the
brewer until expansion forces the con-
tents through a narrow tube (B) into the
upper tank containing coee grounds
(as water temperature increases, dense
liquid water increasingly converts to
less dense water vapor gas, which takes
up more space and increases pressure);
when the water reaches and exceeds
the boiling point (so the vapor pressure
equals and then exceeds atmospheric

pressure), the (water vapor) pressure in
the lower vessel exceeds the pressure in
the upper tank and water is pushed up
the siphon tube (C) into the upper tank.
During brewing, a small amount of water
and sucient water vapor remain in the
lower vessel (D) and are kept hot enough
so the pressure will support the column of
water in the siphon. When enough time
has elapsed that the coee has nished
brewing, (E) the heat is removed and the
pressure in the bottom vessel drops, so
the force of gravity push the water down
(F) into the lower vessel, through a strain-
er and away from the grounds, (G) ending
brewing. The upper tank is then removed
and the coee is now (H) ready to be
served from the lower chamber (carafe).
