The Siphon Coffee Maker
The Story of Siphon Brewing
You might be wondering, what is so special about the siphon brewing method? The siphon method was invented in the 1830s by a human named Loeff Berlin. The goal of this method was to use vapor pressure to produce coffee. The siphon method works by using vapor to force hot water into the upper chamber, where the coffee grounds are located. The heat and brewing time result in flavorful coffee, and once it's done, the brewed coffee goes back down, leaving the coffee grounds in the upper chamber and giving you a clean cup of coffee. This brewing method, temperature and brewing time, lets you taste the best of your coffee!
The siphon method is so fascinating that even science is involved, it looks as if it came out of a scientific lab! There is a lot of science built into it, its pressure pushes the water to the upper chamber and there is where the magic happens and the coffee ground combines with hot water. Then, as you turn down the temperature it reduces pressure and the heat on the lower chamber which causes the brewed coffee to come back down! Its an amazing design full of science behind it, which leaves every scientific human surprised. This is why the Siphon method has been studied a lot in the past years!

5. Seal Your chambers

This is the cup that started everything.
The 787 Coffee Supremo Roast is our signature
single-origin specialty coffee — grown at
Hacienda Iluminada, our family-owned farm in
Maricao, Puerto Rico, at 3,000 feet above sea
level in the island's central mountain range.
Handpicked at peak ripeness. Honey processed
on the farm. Roasted fresh in small batches.
Shipped directly to your door.
TASTING NOTES:
Buttery caramel — from the honey processing
method that leaves natural sweetness in every
bean. Dark chocolate — from the high-altitude
growing conditions that slow the cherry's
development and concentrate flavor. Bright
citrus finish — clean, clear, and completely
unforgettable.
THE HONEY PROCESS DIFFERENCE:
Most coffee is washed. Some is natural
processed. 787 Coffee's Supremo Roast is
honey processed — a labor-intensive method
where the outer skin of the cherry is removed
but the sweet mucilage layer is left on the
bean as it sun-dries at Hacienda Iluminada.
The sugars absorb into the bean. The sweetness
becomes part of the coffee itself. You taste
it in every cup.
