Vacuum Coffee Maker

In this article, we will will cover different aspects of the vacuum coffee maker.

The vacuum coffee maker is a relatively new introduction to the world of coffee makers, and this interesting device has actually had many coffee connoisseurs raving. The vacuum coffee maker not only is fun to watch, but it also produces great tasting coffee.

They say that the experience of coffee is in part the joy you get from making it. And trust me, there is no other coffee maker out there, whether an automatic coffee machine or a manual, that is as much fun to watch as a vacuum coffee maker. This coffee maker looks elegant, but most important, it makes the process of brewing coffee fascinating to observe.

The vacuum coffee maker also goes by a few other names, such as: the glass vacuum coffee maker, the siphon coffee maker, vacuum coffee machines and vacuum brewer. Well, what’s in a name, a vacuum coffee maker by any other name brews coffee that tastes just as great!

Before we describe how a vacuum coffee machine works, let’s first discuss the energy source for these coffee machines. for a siphon coffee maker, you do not need to plug it in anywhere. Some siphon coffee machine models use the stovetop as an energy source, while others use de-natured alcohol as fuel.

Because these coffee machines do not need to be plugged in anywhere, you can take them with you wherever you want. Some people like to place them on their table during elegant tea and coffee parties, while one of my friends likes to take hers out to the porch on summer evenings. The only exception to this is the Bodum vacuum coffee maker, which does require an electric outlet.

How vacuum brewers work

A vacuum coffee brewer has two globes made of glass, and they rest, vacuum sealed, on top of each other. In the lower glass globe, you place the water. The upper glass globe is where the coffee will actually appear. In between the two globes, there is a glass filter that holds the coffee grounds.

When you heat the sealed vacuum coffee machine, the water in the lower glass globe will start to boil. This water will then, due to the vacuum that was created, rise though the coffee grounds and into the upper glass globe. The whole process is really romantic to watch.

The next step is to remove the heat source. As the temperature drops, the water will pass through the filters again, to the lower glass globe. You can then serve the coffee at just the right temperature.

Because the coffee passes through the filter twice, there will be no tiny grounds in your mug. The brewing process is just perfect, and the coffee extraction is ideal. Coffee brewed using a glass vacuum coffee maker is full bodied and has a wonderful aroma, without any bitter aftertaste.
