Brewing coffee with a vacuum pot
10 months ago
Timelapse (15x realtime) of brewing coffee using a Yama vacuum brewer (also called a vacuum pot or coffee siphon/syphon).
I step in to stir it three times, with a brewing time of about 3 minutes. I don't know how much stirring is actually necessary, but I'm sure too much can't hurt.
Compared to other brewing methods, this is far less practical and convenient. But the coffee it makes is absolutely incredible. Imagine a French press that could use fine grounds, brew at near-boiling temperatures the entire time, extract FAR more flavor, and leave zero sediment in the cup.
(There's no audio because screw Final Cut, I did this with ffmpeg.)

(At least you know I'm not bullshitting you on the timing. Unless I hacked my stove clock... you never know.)
$33. Make sure you also get the "Yama Replacement Cloth Filters, Pack of 5" ($6). While the filters are meant to be washed and reused many times until they rip or wear out some other way, this is pretty much the only place to get replacements, so you might as well buy a pack with the pot.
im sure my life will be that much better with one of these
