Syphon Coffee
I came across this website for Melbourne's Best Cafe's, so we will have a few good suggestions to go to. Any way my friend lent me his Coffee Syphon / Siphon for me to play around with. It's not very forgiving, if you leave it too long it gets burnt but not long enough and you don't get the sweet fruity flavours. I still don't get it 100% but i just love the science behind it.
First i do my usual 13 grams of coffee
I used 200 grams of water, last time i used 220 and i had lighter flavour. I really need to do more research but using the flame is not as consistent at the Halogen light. But it is free so so I am happy with it.
Put it on the heat
As it heats up it forces the water up the spout into the top section
While its heating grind your coffee.
I had to use a small container to pour the grounds in.
Pour the coffee in the water and stir 5 times around (so the internet said)
I brewed it for 2 minutes, some people said 1.5 min and others 3 min , i guess its personal preference really.
After the time is up take the flame away and the coffee filters down into the bottom section
My friend made a Syphon using his equipment and here are some pics
The Difference between the 2 coffee Syphons, one is a Hario, the other Bellina Syphon. The heat lamp is more consistent and looks awesome. The coffee was awesome.
Its still trial and error but i enjoy playing around with it.
Thanks again

How cool! It's like a science experiment. It's fun to play around like this.
ReplyDeleteI find that with every method of making coffee, it takes several attempts of trial-and-error to get proportions of beans/water/brewing right. That's unavoidable.
YUSSS! These are SO COOL. I love that your friends had one on hand for you to try out. Kyle's brother is into different ways of making coffees, you guys would get on perfectly.
ReplyDeleteI am trying to con Kyle into buying a chemix! So expensive though. Wah!
