Reddit reviews Hario Glass Technica Syphon Coffee Maker, 5-Cup

The method the MC is using here is the coffee drip/pour over method. The glass heating containers on the left are the siphon coffee makers.

When you're picking up coffee as a hobby, remember that you're going to go through a lot of batches of coffee that aren't good until you master your technique. You're also going to go through a lot of beans which just don't have the taste you're looking for (these make great gifts for other people).

For online subscriptions, I recommend https://one.mistobox.com/

For good coffee equipment, I recommend checking here.

If you want to do it like in Leblanc, then go with pour over coffee equipment.

You'll want to get a gooseneck electric kettle such as the bonavita model shown here.

Why a gooseneck like the one in the screenshot above? The gooseneck shape is very useful for limiting the amount of water coming out of your kettle while also allowing you to be far more accurate with how you pour your water than over a standard kettle. This is very important in the pour over method as how you pour does determine the taste of your final product. I also recommend electric kettles because having precise temperature controls is very important with trying to figure out the exact temperature at which to make your coffee.

If you want the pour over coffee method, you'll need one of the drippers/filters here.

Pour over method requires precise aim to ensure a good cup of coffee. Here you go!

If you want to do it through the siphon coffee method, I recommend this.

People love a good cup of coffee and becoming a master of such a skill will make you well loved by your SO. Its also a great topic and skill to teach others.

Proper coffee is drank black without milk, sugar, or cream (though depending on your culture you may add milk and cream). The reason for this is that these extra ingredients are typically used to cover up the taste of bad coffee. If you get good coffee beans and treat them right, you will be fine. Make sure you're using filtered water as well as bad tap water will heavily alter your taste with extra "flavors" you aren't looking for.

Head over to /coffee subreddit and they'll get you hooked!

Coffee making, like tea, is a relatively cheap and easy hobby to pick up while also being useful and a great topic of conversation. Its a useful skill as well and an easy way to impress a date or friends, though if you really want to impress people, learn to cook. Learning to cook is NEVER a bad idea.

Also make sure to buy a good UV-coated and airtight container to store your beans.

Some extra guides if you want to be super serious about coffee. 1, 2, 3.

It’s apparently a coffee maker , and for being so unique, isn’t priced to badly really.

You're welcome. My kratom is STRICTLY NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION but this is what I use to make my Kava Tea and it is AMAZING.

Thank you that makes a huge difference being in daylight. I have a coffee syphon that uses methanol but inside you can see the flame well like in the first part of the video.

This one's about $67 on Amazon, assuming you're States-side. A bit pricy, especially if you compare to your regular drip-carafe coffee machines like Mr. Cawfee or Blank and Deckart, which are like, $25 each.

But value is subjective. I'm certainly saving for one myself (prices in India are even crazier)

A Siphon brewer, one of many newly popular coffee brewing methods. I'm interested in trying it for tea as well.

Found it at Amazon for $72.50.

Does he drink coffee?

I got you, I'm saying 10 dollars anywhere is alot for a cup of coffee. If you're on this sub you probably have all the gear you need except the actual siphon: https://www.amazon.com/Hario-Technica-5-Cup-Coffee-Syphon/dp/B000IKLQZK

67 bucks, have it anytime, each mug will cost $1.00 or less depending on what you spend on beans

Siphon coffee set. Most entertaining way to make coffee out there. Get it with a little butane burner to make your life easier.

Reminds me of this coffee scene in Breaking Bad: http://www.aljazeera.com/mritems/images/2013/1/23//201312315632779580_20.jpg

So you're saying I might just save the money and get this instead?

This is the order page for the syphon, but none of the suggested items link to the burner which looks much more awesome than the alcohol burner that it comes with.

I've had coffee from a variant of this called the siphon:

For me it makes the best cup of coffee among all the different brewing methods. I get a cup from the shop from time to time but don't make it at home. There's no way I could pull this off in the morning.

$30 is a great deal

I have been curios about this machine https://www.amazon.com/Hario-Technica-5-Cup-Coffee-Syphon/dp/B000IKLQZK. Have you ever used one of these?

I wonder if it really works when it comes to integrate the scent of the coffee inside the cup.

Welcome to caffeine addiction.

I think next on my list is one of these syphon brewers. I tried it at a coffee shop and it's a lot like a French press but better filtered.

I have an insulated french press I use for a crowd (or if I want to have multiple cups).

I also have a coffee syphon I use if I want to feel like I'm makin' crack. I clearly have a problem and need to repent, post haste.

You should look into getting a vacuum pot then! It's fairly similar

hmmm.... he COULD upgrade his grinder, a baratza virtuoso is a step up from his capresso infinity (that's what i think that is), especially when it comes to espresso making.

there are things like custom tamps that you can get and get their name on it? I'm not familiar with the breville machine so not sure if the tamps you get actually work on the breville one, sometimes they are smaller.

other cool things include a siphon coffee machine, you would want to get a butane burner for it, i'm not from america so I don't really know what people recommend of amazon lol but i'll link something for reference:

or a kyoto style drip tower, which is for making iced drip coffee which is great and this is also somethign I would NEVER get myself (price and all) but would be awesome to have but be aware of the practicality of size and where to put it lol, note: it takes 5-6 hours to drip a few cups haha:

btw, you are a great friend.

As far as I can tell, that was simply a siphon coffee brewer made out of lab glassware. Still, I want it in my dining room!

It's like-a this: http://www.amazon.com/Hario-Technica-5-Cup-Coffee-Syphon/dp/B000IKLQZK

Here you go

I have an electric blade grinder. It's fine. For a french press, I use a medium grind so as not to extract too many tannins while brewing. For a drip I would use a fine grind as the water spends much less time in contact with the coffee.

Bonus: this is on my amazon wishlist. One day I will own this mad scientist's contraption. http://www.amazon.com/Hario-Technica-5-Cup-Coffee-Syphon/dp/B000IKLQZK?ie=UTF8&colid=1N4896UWL84D5&coliid=I2JZ3W1BDHU9TK&ref_=wl_it_dp_o_pd_S_ttl

I recently purchased the Hario 5 cup siphon and use it on my gas stove top all the time. I was going to purchase a portable butane burner but figured I would give the stove top a try before hand. Someone had posted a review on amazon about using a gas stove and it working for him. I was worried about the base over heating but that has not been an issue at all. I simply use one of the smaller burners on the stove top, if you have that option, and use a medium/low heat turning it to low after the top chamber fills. Hope this helps!
