Notes

Siphon brewing uses vapor pressure to push water up through coffee, then vacuum to draw it back down through a cloth filter. The result is exceptionally clean. Stir in a cross pattern (north-south, then east-west) for even extraction. Reduce heat during brew phase to maintain 96°C without boiling.
