Vacuum Coffee Maker – How to brew the perfect stovetop coffee

Coffee Brews — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 02:05:59 +0000

We at www.italianbeandelight.com sell the Yama Vacuum Coffee Maker, the perfect syphon coffee stovetop brewer with a capicity of 5 or 8 cups for the perfect gourmet drip coffee. Cheaper than other vacuum coffee makers like cona, hario or bodum santos, this yama vacuum brewer brews coffee with a great body, but without the sediment you would get in a French press. It has a longlasting cloth filter that fits over the metal filter assembly and should be replaced each year. The lid doubles as a stand for the funnel (top glass part), and it comes with a spare cloth filter and a burner wire grid for use on an electric stove. The glass is labelled on the bottom as “Heat-Resistant Yama Glass”. The brewer is easy to use. The rubber gasket between the top and the bottom -the flange on it makes the creation of an airtight seal (and the separation of top and bottom when the coffee is brewed) much easier. The 5 cup model is fine for 2 people. For more people you should rather prefer the 8 cup model. We compared the Yama vaccum brewer with the bodum santos vacuum brewer. Using the same coffee beans, same grind, the brewed coffee tastes different Produced with the Yama vacuum brewers, the coffee develops its aroma to the fullest.

Roasting coffee beans at home, using an air popcorn popper.

Coffee Brews — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 12:50:59 +0000

I converted an old air popper, adding speed control to the fan. Slowing down the fan heats the roasting chamber up more. I removed the overheating safety. Yes, this is dangerous, and shouldn’t be done. However, I rewire things all the time, and watch it closely. I roast outside, of course, and my next one I will add a heating element shut-off, to assist cooling down the popper between batches. I roast 2/3 cup at a time, and really like the Sumatra beans the most. Green coffee beans are available in the small town I live in, and if you look around, you’ll find some locally or on-line. This makes great coffee in just 7 minutes, give or take. I really love great coffee and dark beer. Not at the same time.
