Step 1:
Soak the fabric filter in warm water for about 5 minutes.
Step 2:
Drop the fabric filter in the top glass component, pull the beaded metal cord down and hook it on the bottom of the siphon.
Step 3:
Pour 380ml (3 cup) or 580ml (5 cup) of water 30 seconds off the boil into the bottom glass component.
Step 4:
Place the heat source (infrared, spirit or butane burner) underneath the glass component. Set the heat on high.
Carefully insert the top component inside the bottom glass at an angle – do not seal.
Step 5:
Just before the water in the lower chamber reaches a boil, carefully secure the top component, ensuring a good seal with the rubber ring, without pressing too hard.
Step 6:
Observe the water moving from bottom into the top vessel.
Once the water is in top chamber, add your coffee to the top and start your timer.
Step 7:
Use the included paddle to gently stir the coffee into the water every 10 seconds to ensure even extraction (3-5 times).
After 15 seconds, reduce heat to 60%. Allow the coffee to brew for 50 seconds before turning off the heat.
Step 8:
Take the Siphon away from all heat and stir around the edges of the chamber 6 times.
The change in temperature of the bottom chamber creates a vacuum and pulls the coffee down through the filter.
Step 9:
Allow a couple of minutes for the brew to cool.
Step 10:
Pour, drink and enjoy!
