Ok, so we made a trip to Blue Bottle Coffee for their famed siphon coffee. Siphon coffee looks like a crazy science experiment. We waited about 40 minutes for this ultra popular brew. I have to say it was good. Not quite the flavor of espresso but flavor full none the less.
Siphon coffee makers are made up of four parts: the bottom container where the water initially sits and the brewed coffee eventually rests; a top container that has a siphon tube attached to it (and a hole in the bottom of the vessel), where the coffee brewing takes place; a type of sealing material (usually a rubber gasket) to help create a partial vacuum in the lower vessel while brewing is taking place, and a filter, which can be made of glass, paper, metal, or cloth.There is also a heating source, and there's usually three types - a cloth-wick alcohol burner (slowest), gas or electric stove top (faster), or a specialty butane burner (fastest). There are additional heating devices, including the halogen burner system that is part of the $20,000 setup that Blue Bottle Cafe in San Francisco has for their siphon coffee makers.
