This is actually a very good style of pot, each part is very simple and replaceable, and it works for any kind of drink. I use it to make an unsweetened ginger ale, as ginger is one of my favorite flavors.
@@orlandolaurentiu731 you clean it fast, I got one myself. But a larger model for up to 8 cups. In Sweden and Finland we need more coffee than what this model makes.
Because the coffee is exposed to a partial vacuum as it enters the final chamber, dissolved gases(such as CO2) are pulled out of the liquid. This reduces the formation of carbonic acid, making it taste less sour, and allows the bitter oils to emulsify better, reducing the bitter aftertaste. The effect might be minor on this model because of how small it is, but equipment like this can definitely produce some kind of noticeable result.
@@The8merpit also is a way to maintain a constant, low temperature since there's an extra layer of insulation between the water and the heat source. It's next to impossible to burn the coffee this way
Coffe is never exposed to any vacuum in here. Shows how you don't understand what's really going on inside this device physically. And all you need to do to get rid of dissolved gasses is just boil the water, since high temperature decreases their solubility.
Also the bitterness comes from overboiling the coffee. This doesn't happen here, because the water temperature falls before it gets to fill the upper glass.
@@richardfeliciano8885 "no, we're not adding chili pepper, what we are going to be making doesn't need it, I don't care if it's your signature ingredient"
they actually made normal electric coffee brewers out of this concept! i have one, it's called the SunBeam Coffee Master, they were in production in the 1940s, when their only real competition was percolators, and these had the distinct advantage that the coffee is never boiled by the heating element, so it tastes WAY better than a percolator. you fill the bottom with water, put your grounds in the top, flip the switch, it simply boils once to go up, the switch senses the overheating and flips off thanks to a bimetallic strip, then it slowly flushes back down as brewed coffee. take the top part with all the used grounds off, and serve it from the pot. i got it because i love coffee and it was a cute little novelty for like $15 at a garage sale, it has a bit of a learning curve but once you figure it out it's really easy to use and actually makes some of the best coffee I've ever had

That system was used in my parents' restaurant in the 1950's and still used in the 1980's. Some of the bells were stainless steel. I remember it was the best coffee around. That's where I learned to drink it black. So, not a science experiment but a replication of things past. Brings back many memories.
It kinda is a science experiment, because it combines a round-bottom flask with a vacuum funnel to create something like a soxhlet apparatus, but it’s mostly aesthetics
This was referred to as a vacuum pot. My parents had a stainless steel one. My grandfather had one. It was cool when I was a little kid to watch the water. Go up through the coffee grounds that you put in the bottom of the top chamber and when you took the heat away. The Brood coffee went back down into the serving container below and left the grounds up above in a mound. I remember the Restaurants restaurants also used to use these
There was also a piece of glassware like this called a gasogene that worked in almost the same way, in the bottom chamber would be baking soda and tartaric acid, in the top would be water and connecting them was a metal tube, once the water dropped down from the tube it causes a production of carbon dioxide which dissolves into the water, producing soda water
Me too l, my grandfather always called it a vacuum pot. It was always cool to watch the water do down and up to the tube and up in the coffee and then up in my bumhole
Thats where this is like a girlfriend it sucks it and does the job fast but with elegance ……drip coffee is like being married slow as hell and gravity is pulling everything down
I genuinely love the smoothness of this brewing method which is really satisfying. It works like a mix between french press and moka pot, but it's quite enjoyable to watch and drink. The result ends up being fairly low on the alkaline bitterness, though it could turn out to be somewhat overly acidic. Not my favorite (which is the Chemex pour-over) but quite close. Works really well with certain beans (my favorite being Ethiopian ones)
Sir i used some yem3n and ethiooa veans i was gifwted i felt like i either burnt them or they are bitter. And my quetion is does one have to replace there moka pots after awhile?
@@brunorojas3992 I've been using mine for 11 years. A good quality one seldom needs replacing. I'd check under the filter though to make sure it's not clogged. Also it's good to use already boiling water to fill it so it spends less time on the heat. Some beans are also more sensitive than others
As a person who works in specialty coffee place this is exactly how it is, it takes around 20-30 minutes thought which still a lot but also syphon brewer long time broke and we don't use it.
@@DanielHerd I've had syphon brewed coffee here in Indonesian cafes. It takes 15-20 mins, tends to be a little more bitter because of the extraction temps and costs exactly the same as a pourover or whatever other method you want. Usually we only pay for the coffee, not the brewing method.
This isn't a moka pot it's just a vacuum coffee maker. They used to be vary popular they are vary easy to use. I have the stove top version with bakelite handles. Vacuum or syphon coffee maker has been around since 1830s the moka pot was invented in 1933 103 years later. So moka pot 90 years old vacuum or syphon coffee 193 years old. My vacuum pot is over 100 years old and still working condition and is made of stainless steel.
@@pommedivan6908 It's hard to say my dad bought it in the 2000s from eBay. I am not sure of the brand. It could be Bloomfield or NICRO. He was mostly interested in Revere Ware and art Deco. So we have a lot of metal stuff with the lines and stuff either bakelite handles or walnut. I have more copper pans then a French kitchen. Used to be cheap because folks where given the pots and pans when they got married and just put them away still new in boxes and forget about them. I am sure they have risen in value.
@red_rage1442 They were quoting the show, more specifically the moment when his lab assistant, Gale, gives him a cup of coffee brewed in a machine that looks like the one in this video The coffee is so good that it makes Walter white say "why the hell are we making meth"
The larger classic Restaurant/ Diner version that works on the same principle was called a, " VACUTAINER " Coffee Brewer with carafe. Mine didn't have a paper filter,, it used a ceramic spring-loaded plug with small fluting, it rested on a rubber gasket between the upper and lower vessel. The directions suggested adding the measure of coffee to the upper chamber prior to starting the brew cycle on a hotplate. The average brewing time was about 12 minutes. I still have one from the late 1940's or early 1950's. A garage sale purchase many years ago.
Yup, for some of us it's a harmless hobby. But some people are just pretentious jerks about it. In reality, the best coffee is the stuff YOU like. Even if, to you, that means no coffee at all.
It really depends on what you’re trying to do. Would need to know the kind of drinks you’re needing to make, your specific budget, how nerdy you’re trying to get, how much convenience you want, etc etc
There is a breaking bad themed bar ive been to that is using this brewer to hot infuse spices and make a gin. Then they pour the hot mixture into an Erlenmeyer flask containing some other drinks and dry ice to produce a cocktail at the table that fumes. Pretty cool stuff
I abolutely love it when old technology is rediscovered. I have several old coffee makers like this that date back to the 1930s and 1940s. There are even older versions of this system.
@@joecichlid hello Are you familiar with the 1900th century Belgium coffee maker? Also do you know the story behind Malita coffee filters? Both are very interesting. Please check them out and let me know your thoughts. I look forward to your kind reply.
@@joecichlid great, thank you for the reply. I just want for people to be better informed about coffee and understand how to brew. Way to many people judge us coffee people and I believe if they have a chance to drink a cup that tastes so good it makes their mouth water and gives them chills, they would understand why we do the outlandish things we do. What are your favorite types of coffee? Do you prefer a light or a dark roast? Do you like Robusta or is it to rubbery for you?
Tried this in a caffe, taste wise is not better than other manual brew method. But it put up good show. The caffe I was at put the ground before the fire is lit, so it extract with Boling water, don't know if it will take different than this method. But it's fun to watch the water goes up the coffe chamber, mixed with the coffee, then goes back down.
When I was a child, I would see the restaurant use a coffee pot that was like this to make coffee the same way. I remember that my mother would use the same type of coffee maker in our home.
Don't let the flame sit too long on that round bottom. Uneven heating and cooling leads to fragility of glass. Having water there will keep it pretty even but when there's very little water left that's when its risky.
if you had literal lab glass you'd probably be pretty safe. You can overheat a round bottom flask pretty hard and it's still ok. And if it was made of genuine quartz glass it would be immortal
@@skeetsmcgrew3282 not true, quartz glass isnt as strong as youre saying and youll still introduce incremental amounts of stress into it with every exposure to temperature shocks it gets, hot or cold. dont abuse your glass and itll last forever no matter what its made from. im a scientific glassblower, labs can use any type of glass, they dont always use borosilicate which is very strong because of its flexibility and tolerance for temperature changes.
@@andyv2209 Yeah I was assuming borosilicate, I forget sometimes labs don't always need that level of cost/quality. I guess I have a different philosophy about glass, I assume all glass will eventually break if it's used enough. Like yeah, I guess one of those little alcohol lamps can eventually do enough stress to borosilicate to break it, but most people will break it being clumsy first. Easily replaceable, not exactly something with sentimental value
@@skeetsmcgrew3282 the direct heat from the lamp onto the plain glass is enough to build stress between the hot and cool parts of the glass which will become a weak point as time goes on. having water inside while using the flame keeps the internal temperature pretty low and the glass doesnt go through any direct temperature shocks, its gradually warmed as quickly as the water, and that warms the full piece of glass up, keeping stress low as long as the water is still there. when its not the flame should be removed and so it will be gradually evenly cooled when the lamp is turned off. shock usually only happens with direct contact to ice, flame, or other different temperature things come into contact with it. and yes, most glass will eventually break because of built up stress, but, if you get the glass hot enough, just barely below the melting point, and then cool the glass in a very gradual even way, you can remove the stress in the glass, you can even heal cracks at the right temperature. you can see stress in any transparent glass by using a polariscope, or a polarized lense. I do this while checking my glass work to see if there are any points i need to hit with my flame more so evenly heat before the glass cools, leading to a part of the glass far more susceptible to seemingly random cracking.
I'm using this, just using alcohol burner. You need to mix it before removing the heat so that the grounds collect on the filter and make it easier to remove. Also the heat must be enough so water stays up but not boiling. Generally around a minute is enough for it to be done. Tastes better than normal coffee because the cloth filter does a bitter job of removing some acids n bitterness.
We drank coffee with this and other various types of this apparatus in Indonesia. I like the one where you can flip it as both glasses were bulbs. Never knew the name of them though. They just were, no one used their name. We just used them and drank from them.
This is my favorite way to be my morning coffee. It's super smooth and the coffee has very little bitterness if any at all. It's called a vacuum pot or siphon pot. 😊
This isn't a moka pot it's just a vacuum coffee maker. They used to be vary popular they are vary easy to use. I have the stove top version with bakelite handles. Vacuum or syphon coffee maker has been around since 1830s the moka pot was invented in 1933 103 years later. So moka pot 90 years old vacuum or syphon coffee 193 years old.

You're being small-minded. Recipes and experiments are realms which intersect, you cannot separate them. An experiment cannot be reproducible without a 'recipe'. Regardless, a siphon extractor is in essence a chemistry set, such that it can be used to experiment with coffee brewing, or it can be used with a recipe to recreate a specific result. Make the same cup of coffee every day or try something new.

You're probably thinking of a moka pot. It's similar to a percolator. The water in the chamber gets forced up through the finely ground coffee and it gets deposited in the upper carafe for serving. It's really great coffee. It has a similar extraction level to espresso but it can't quite reach the required pressures. It's a great way to get close enough for a strong cuppa.
@@ViviFuchs i had one of those explode on me, the top part with all the coffe ended up on top of the ceiling panels in about less than a second, it was long time coming cause we knew that particular pot was acting weirdly. It ripped the screwing threads and went off like a rocket, coffee grounds everywhere nicely in a circular pattern around the place of explosion everywhere, coffee slowly dripping from the ceiling tiles. Safe to say i heard that explosion every time i made coffee for about a month.
@@frozby5973 wow! It sounds like the coffee might have been tapped down a little too tightly and the pressure safety valve failed. Little thing is like a miniature bomb if the steam can't escape.

@@brunorojas3992 I've been using mine for 11 years. A good quality one seldom needs replacing. I'd check under the filter though to make sure it's not clogged. Also it's good to use already boiling water to fill it so it spends less time on the heat. Some beans are also more sensitive than others
Seeing a device like this shows how alike chemists, coffee connoisseurs and potheads are.
No. It shows how versatile a rigid transparent and meltable substance is.
Connaisseurs 🫠 for the french way
Although nearly 100% of chemists are drinking (probably too much) coffee, about the same amount are feeling personally attact by this comment
😵💫 H E Y! What’s so wrong about being a pot head?
I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought of smoking gravity bongs in high school when they saw this 😂
I now know the best gift for my science teacher
This works literally same as traditional Uzbek samovar, used in ceremonies to voil water for tea.
Costumer: i would like a cup of coffee
Barista: ok it will be 2$ and 1 hour of your life
As a person who works in specialty coffee place this is exactly how it is, it takes around 20-30 minutes thought which still a lot but also syphon brewer long time broke and we don't use it.
How about $12
@@DanielHerd 12 FOR A CUP OF COFFEE??? Is there gold in there?
@@vmdenis3350sounds about right for good coffee tbh
@@DanielHerd I've had syphon brewed coffee here in Indonesian cafes. It takes 15-20 mins, tends to be a little more bitter because of the extraction temps and costs exactly the same as a pourover or whatever other method you want. Usually we only pay for the coffee, not the brewing method.
This would make for an incredibly good Christmas present for myself.
Where can I buy one!!
My family has had a cona coffee for ovr 100 years and it still works perfectly. We still use it on special occasions. Amazing coffee !!
Back in the '60s, my Mum and Dad had a "Don Pedro" that worked in this way. Nothing new. Greetings from Sweden.
Coffee snobs: “Huh, such a simplistic way to make a coffee😤”

Basically the same physics principle that the Italian Mokka uses but in a more fancy and expensive way
Siphon coffe maker 20$ on Amazon
Right?!
This isn't a moka pot it's just a vacuum coffee maker. They used to be vary popular they are vary easy to use. I have the stove top version with bakelite handles.
Vacuum or syphon coffee maker has been around since 1830s the moka pot was invented in 1933 103 years later. So moka pot 90 years old vacuum or syphon coffee 193 years old. My vacuum pot is over 100 years old and still working condition and is made of stainless steel.
@@windyhawthorn7387 May ask what brand of stainless vacuum brewer you have and where you bought yours from? Thank you.
@@pommedivan6908
It's hard to say my dad bought it in the 2000s from eBay. I am not sure of the brand. It could be Bloomfield or NICRO. He was mostly interested in Revere Ware and art Deco. So we have a lot of metal stuff with the lines and stuff either bakelite handles or walnut. I have more copper pans then a French kitchen. Used to be cheap because folks where given the pots and pans when they got married and just put them away still new in boxes and forget about them. I am sure they have risen in value.
Thank you Tanner! I never knew the use of that spring thing to secure the damned filter hahaha
I wait long enough for my coffee as it is.
Feels like Im watching Walter white with his first Chemistry set! Turns out it was a coffee machine. Who knew? 🤣👍☕️

@cptdoritos1009 oh...I thought it was a legit question. Whoops. 🤣🤷♂️
The larger classic Restaurant/ Diner version that works on the same principle was called a, " VACUTAINER " Coffee Brewer with carafe. Mine didn't have a paper filter,, it used a ceramic spring-loaded plug with small fluting, it rested on a rubber gasket between the upper and lower vessel. The directions suggested adding the measure of coffee to the upper chamber prior to starting the brew cycle on a hotplate. The average brewing time was about 12 minutes. I still have one from the late 1940's or early 1950's. A garage sale purchase many years ago.
I knew someone would beat me too the breaking bad 😂
Somebody actually Broke Bad with a coffee maker. Effing awesome.
I swear coffee brewing now appears to be
10% brewing
90% showing off
It's always been like that, every hobby has a ton of snake oil and "flashy" accessories
Yup, for some of us it's a harmless hobby. But some people are just pretentious jerks about it.
In reality, the best coffee is the stuff YOU like. Even if, to you, that means no coffee at all.
Agreed. I boil mine in a sauce pan.
Aaaaaand?

"Yes."
Can you please make a short video about any best cheapest espresso machine.
It really depends on what you’re trying to do. Would need to know the kind of drinks you’re needing to make, your specific budget, how nerdy you’re trying to get, how much convenience you want, etc etc
@@tannercolsoncoffee just for espresso shots
@@familnemanflairs budget machines for sure
@@familnemanhow cheap? Delonghi 3420 is the cheapest you can go for decent
Just get a French press
There is a breaking bad themed bar ive been to that is using this brewer to hot infuse spices and make a gin. Then they pour the hot mixture into an Erlenmeyer flask containing some other drinks and dry ice to produce a cocktail at the table that fumes. Pretty cool stuff
When u take ur morning coffee to serious!!😂
The moment gale became a coffee expert
I abolutely love it when old technology is rediscovered. I have several old coffee makers like this that date back to the 1930s and 1940s. There are even older versions of this system.
@@joecichlid hello
Are you familiar with the 1900th century Belgium coffee maker?
Also do you know the story behind Malita coffee filters? Both are very interesting. Please check them out and let me know your thoughts. I look forward to your kind reply.
@kg-Whatthehelliseventhat I will check into them, thank you for the information. 😀
@@joecichlid great, thank you for the reply. I just want for people to be better informed about coffee and understand how to brew. Way to many people judge us coffee people and I believe if they have a chance to drink a cup that tastes so good it makes their mouth water and gives them chills, they would understand why we do the outlandish things we do.
What are your favorite types of coffee? Do you prefer a light or a dark roast? Do you like Robusta or is it to rubbery for you?
I have an old pirex atmospheric coffee maker, and the filters. It’s still works marvelously.
That is some Next Levle
Coffee makeing magic right there lol
Would be interesting to see a video about the taste profile vs common brew methods. Probably a blind tasting to test preferences too
ya i wanna kno how this taste
I think you should just try them yourself. Taste is subjective. What ever tastes good is what's works for you.
@@Kevlashnikov ya i am asking wat its like cuz theres no where around me i could try thjat myself :)
Tried this in a caffe, taste wise is not better than other manual brew method. But it put up good show. The caffe I was at put the ground before the fire is lit, so it extract with Boling water, don't know if it will take different than this method. But it's fun to watch the water goes up the coffe chamber, mixed with the coffee, then goes back down.
@@adityawicaksono875 thx very much
So how do you want your coffee?
“Made in a lab”
When I was a child, I would see the restaurant use a coffee pot that was like this to make coffee the same way. I remember that my mother would use the same type of coffee maker in our home.
Snorkeling some Marijuana with that thing 😂
Can’t wait to get one of the big versions of these someday, need a nice kitchen first lmaoo
Don't let the flame sit too long on that round bottom. Uneven heating and cooling leads to fragility of glass. Having water there will keep it pretty even but when there's very little water left that's when its risky.
if you had literal lab glass you'd probably be pretty safe. You can overheat a round bottom flask pretty hard and it's still ok. And if it was made of genuine quartz glass it would be immortal
@@skeetsmcgrew3282 not true, quartz glass isnt as strong as youre saying and youll still introduce incremental amounts of stress into it with every exposure to temperature shocks it gets, hot or cold. dont abuse your glass and itll last forever no matter what its made from. im a scientific glassblower, labs can use any type of glass, they dont always use borosilicate which is very strong because of its flexibility and tolerance for temperature changes.
@@andyv2209 Yeah I was assuming borosilicate, I forget sometimes labs don't always need that level of cost/quality. I guess I have a different philosophy about glass, I assume all glass will eventually break if it's used enough. Like yeah, I guess one of those little alcohol lamps can eventually do enough stress to borosilicate to break it, but most people will break it being clumsy first. Easily replaceable, not exactly something with sentimental value
@@skeetsmcgrew3282 the direct heat from the lamp onto the plain glass is enough to build stress between the hot and cool parts of the glass which will become a weak point as time goes on. having water inside while using the flame keeps the internal temperature pretty low and the glass doesnt go through any direct temperature shocks, its gradually warmed as quickly as the water, and that warms the full piece of glass up, keeping stress low as long as the water is still there. when its not the flame should be removed and so it will be gradually evenly cooled when the lamp is turned off. shock usually only happens with direct contact to ice, flame, or other different temperature things come into contact with it. and yes, most glass will eventually break because of built up stress, but, if you get the glass hot enough, just barely below the melting point, and then cool the glass in a very gradual even way, you can remove the stress in the glass, you can even heal cracks at the right temperature. you can see stress in any transparent glass by using a polariscope, or a polarized lense. I do this while checking my glass work to see if there are any points i need to hit with my flame more so evenly heat before the glass cools, leading to a part of the glass far more susceptible to seemingly random cracking.
I had a coffee brewer pen. You warm it by hand, the coolest pen ever.
Bro imma ask my Chem teacher if we can do a Coffee Lab lol😂😂😂
I'm using this, just using alcohol burner. You need to mix it before removing the heat so that the grounds collect on the filter and make it easier to remove. Also the heat must be enough so water stays up but not boiling. Generally around a minute is enough for it to be done. Tastes better than normal coffee because the cloth filter does a bitter job of removing some acids n bitterness.
We drank coffee with this and other various types of this apparatus in Indonesia. I like the one where you can flip it as both glasses were bulbs. Never knew the name of them though. They just were, no one used their name. We just used them and drank from them.
Man, I really wish coffee was as appealing as it looked
The amount of breaking bad references are just amazing
This is my favorite way to be my morning coffee. It's super smooth and the coffee has very little bitterness if any at all. It's called a vacuum pot or siphon pot. 😊
What is the product called
It"s called a silex,but this is a poor Japanese version
in italy this method of brewing is extremely popular, although the utensils look different
It’s different from Moka pots and percolators

@@windyhawthorn7387 i know it’s not a moka, but it kinda resembles it. plus, if i’m not wrong, the traditional pot used in naples has a very similar way of working
There's nothing like a hot cup of science in the morning!
If I’m late to work this is the coffee I make: proceeds to do this
If you know the results before starting, it isn't an experiment. It's a recipe.
You're being small-minded. Recipes and experiments are realms which intersect, you cannot separate them. An experiment cannot be reproducible without a 'recipe'. Regardless, a siphon extractor is in essence a chemistry set, such that it can be used to experiment with coffee brewing, or it can be used with a recipe to recreate a specific result. Make the same cup of coffee every day or try something new.
Bravo! Thank you!@@dinkledankle
Congratulations, you built an overcomplicated moka.
Moka uses pressure to push water through the coffee. There you make your coffee infuse into the water making it more like a french press

Which is how you do coffee, properly
I think there is an Italian type of moka that do this
You're probably thinking of a moka pot.
It's similar to a percolator. The water in the chamber gets forced up through the finely ground coffee and it gets deposited in the upper carafe for serving.
It's really great coffee. It has a similar extraction level to espresso but it can't quite reach the required pressures. It's a great way to get close enough for a strong cuppa.
It's a percalator
@@ViviFuchs i had one of those explode on me, the top part with all the coffe ended up on top of the ceiling panels in about less than a second, it was long time coming cause we knew that particular pot was acting weirdly. It ripped the screwing threads and went off like a rocket, coffee grounds everywhere nicely in a circular pattern around the place of explosion everywhere, coffee slowly dripping from the ceiling tiles. Safe to say i heard that explosion every time i made coffee for about a month.
@@frozby5973 wow! It sounds like the coffee might have been tapped down a little too tightly and the pressure safety valve failed. Little thing is like a miniature bomb if the steam can't escape.
@@kaitareq2020 no, a peculator let's the water which already passed the coffee flow again into the supply water. So already finished coffee flows several times through the grounds.
An espresso pot only uses the water once
Better than a press.
Jessy: Walter, we need this for the new flavour
Siphon coffee is very smooth, would recommend trying it
And there you have it, slightly warm coffee!
My preferred temperature so I can gulp it down faster. Hot warm ice cold room temp idgaf 😂
