Brew methods

Siphon

Also known as siphon · vacuum pot · syphon

Cafetera de vacío / sifón

Two glass chambers and heat create vacuum pressure; brew draws down when heat is removed.

Medium grind, careful temperature and contact time. Visual ritual and clean cup.

Overheating or poor seals → uneven extraction or breakage risk.
