How to Brew Coffee in a Vacuum Pot | Stumptown Coffee

[@federicoberghmans991]

Everything about this video is wonderful.

[@ericbee519]

I would like to say 'THANK YOU'for the detailed instructions! First time to try and I already created a dome! Coffee tastes great as well. I used the cloth coffee filter in my Hario Next.

[@wanderly9950]

Hmmm ... I DO make coffee with a vacuum pot every day. It's not insane - it's delicious.

Thank you for your honesty. This is more show than substance. It will impress your friends and will probably make you smile every morning if you have the time to enjoy it.

I just put one of these vacuum pots on my Amazon wish list (along with a couple of accessories). I have an ancient electric version of one of these that I inherited from my great grand mother...but it's buried in storage somewhere. Thanks for the "how-to" on how to use one of these.

Ridiculous post Keith, I'm sorry.

[@Monscent]

I loved chemistry class in school. When I found out about this brewing method I just had to immediately get one.

[@Rick-wn5oh]

Up into the 1940s , people used the vacuum pots all the time to make coffee. They are so much more complex now then they used to be. The old ones were just set on an electric eye. You put the grinds into the top basket. Once the coffee had pushed up into the upper basket. Give it a quick stir after 10 seconds and remove the heat. Really no more trouble than a percolator. I have one that was built back in the 1940s . Uses a glass filter. And taste great.

[@Anand-qb1wp]

Richard Lamoreaux thank you for the history lesson. Context helps. I would wager that coffee recipes from that time did not use fancy timers and thermometers. The temperature and pressure physics of the design automated that for you.

[@rockdog2584]

Buried in my storage unit somewhere is an old electric coffee pot like you've described that I had inherited from my great grand mother. Thing works GREAT!. We used to haul it out at house parties (back in the 80's) and make coffee just so everybody could watch it work. Too bad I can't dig it out right now. I'm seriously thinking about ordering one like the young lady used in this video.

[@TheStraycat74]

We need a video of you making coffee in that! Fir reasons :)

honestly wasnt as engaged with this until the fun bong fact. 10/10

[@archONtour]

btw i would add the lid once it is drawing down, because the lower vacuum will created an upper vacuum and extract all the liquid parts and taste from the coffee

[@susaneeckstrom6170]

I make coffee like this everyday. You can actually get very fast and proficient-My stomach thanks me.

[@tiesdevos6897]

this is so good keep it up

[@betterlifeexe4378]

if you could increase the negative pressure, would you also increase the solvency of the grounds in the water? I know it would boil at progressively lower temperatures, but I can imagine a system that used preheated water but is siphoned in order to gently and rapidly brew on demand for commercial applications. Bonus: sealed low oxygen environment would also keep it fresh for longer. There would be separation issues, but agitators maybe?

[@betterlifeexe4378]

answered my own question. No. But, apparently you can use increased pressure with water vapor same as with the espresso machine, you can allow it to dissolve in chamber - which is to say it is not necessary to pass it through the puck.

[@rightcoast7049]

My favorite cup of coffee, and I've tried just about every way. Side note... There is a vacuum museum?!

How would you say it fares against the Aeropress?

[@johnhavens776]

While working in China, this is one of the ways the overpriced (around $4.00 an 8 ounce cup) coffee shops brewed their coffee. I don't think they used the Yama though. I think it was the Cona brewer. Good choice on the grinder. My Virtuoso is almost bullet proof.

[@jackmanleblanc2518]

What are the benefits to making coffee like this? Does this cut down on acidity and make it smoother? I'm trying to make something similar to Black Blood Of The Earth.

[@ekosetyowinanto5365]

where can I get a vacum pot with a classic handle like that and at what price

[@rockdog2584]

I JUST found these on Amazon not a half hour ago! It looks like it is the Yama brand unit that she is using here. There is the "YAMA Glass 3 Cup Tabletop Siphon Gravity Coffee Maker with Alcohol Burner" and the "Yama Glass Siphon Vacuum Coffee Maker, 20-Ounce, Clear". Not sure which model is the one used here. If you do look into getting one of these, I would suggest getting the butane burner (like she is using here) and either the metal filter (again, like she used here) or the ceramic filter (in lue of using the cotton filters that the pot comes with). It is said that the cotton filters come apart after a while (they are washable/reusable). The replacement filters can be taken apart to clean and you can run them through the dishwasher.

[@pizzaovenpizza]

she's amazing

[@brandoncastro7624]

Could you put the coffee in before the water rises to the top half? What would happen?

[@19ghost73]

THAT's exactly the way it was used to be done for abt. a century...until modern people made simple things like a syphon brewer more complicated than it actually is. ;)

[@vinnylc]

I make my coffee everyday like this but I have a problem with her method. 1.- the water was at a rolling boil when she added the coffee. Thats too hot it should be 200* 2.the brew time was to long for coffee added to such hot water. 45-60 seconds tops. 3. Why the metal filter? Cloth only it gives the best balance of body and nuance. Ive never even seen anyone use a metal filter before.

[@whydidyouresign]

It is not boiling. Water vapor under pressure from the bottom vessel is rising through the central tube and makes the water in the expansion chamber bubble, which looks like boiling, but it's not. In fact the temperature of the water in the expansion is just below boiling, which is ideal for brewing. First time I used a vacuum pot I thought the same thing, but a thermometer showed the temperature to be below boiling.

[@19ghost73]

On metal filters: Every "French Press"-brewer uses a fine metal mesh as a filter... This one is very similar, just that a vacuum "sucks" the coffe through instead of a plunger presses it through.

[@Dinomo631]

What brand vacuum pot is this?

[@2000xlt]

Hario and yama both make similar variance. I think this one is a Hario

[@CipherVaults]

thanks ! helped me alot !

[@WesGarnett]

how does 40 grams convert to 6 tablespoons? I thought it would be like 2 and some change ...

[@luisraygoza1210]

+Wes Garnett 20-21grams are 2 tablespoons depending on the type of coffee. If you search "coffee to water ratio" you can see in the first result a usable table :D

[@vinnylc]

I use 4 tablespoons for 28-32 gram 3 cup brewers. A more common method is 65-70 grams per litre of water. If you wanna be really boss about it. Its 1:16.6 1 part coffee to 16.6 parts water.

[@styldsteel1]

I need help from someone who is familiar with these vacuum pots, not try this and try that. No. My coffee is coming out way too light everytime. I've tried the Yama instructions. Too light. I've boiled the water first, then added the grinds.. Too light. I am using a rather fine grind. Do these machines prefer a more course grind?

[@JustinNLetner]

styldsteel1 A more coarse grind would get you a lighter cup, friend. Adjust your ratio of coffee to water to include more coffee. You could also try lengthening your brew time.

[@styldsteel1]

Justin Letner that sounds great. Ty. Going to try that first thing in the morning. I know full well these vacuum pots are capable of a very smooth and perfect cup! Ty!!!

[@styldsteel1]

I did what you suggested and i found it to be a major improvement. Thank you very much for that. I still need a wee bit more tweaking though. I got a wee bit anxious with the bean grinder and ended up with a confectioner's sugar like grind. LOL! and it ended up much darker and a bit more bitter. A dash (very small dash of salt. For some odd reason the sodium counteracts with the bitterness of the flavor.) Please don't ask me to explain this as I have absolutely no idea as to what the hell I am talking about. I had to research this. : ) Next time, I"ll go easy on the grinder bottom. In the meantime? Long live the vacuum pot. Loads of fun and dam smooth!!.

[@JustinNLetner]

styldsteel1 Yeah, that grind would be more along the lines of Turkish coffee. I've never tried salt in coffee, but I'm glad it worked for you. Siphons are great. Minimal to no sediment and quite an experience to watch. I'm glad I could help, friend.

[@styldsteel1]

Yes, when I read a tiny dash of salt counteracts the bitterness I though the author was mad. I tried that for the first time today. But yes. I'll leave the Turkish coffee to the Turks :) Thanks again!!
