Coffee syphons have been used for hundreds of years.  We have taken a classic and historied device and elevated it with a modern design and quality materials.  The Sommelier Syphon features a wine decanter shape, which allows the user to better enjoy the aroma of the coffee.  This brewer also includes a new stainless steel filter in addition to the original cloth filter.  Use the cloth filter for a cleaner, lighter bodied coffee or the stainless filter for a fuller mouthfeel.How does it work?This syphon is supported by a metal stand that holds the brewer over an open flame or halogen burner.  The water in the lower bowl heats up and pressure builds causing the water to rise up to the top chamber.  Coffee is brewed in the top bowl and when desired extraction is achieved, the heat source is removed and the coffee filters back into the bottom bowl, leaving a clean balanced cup.Product Number: SCA-5 Size: W150×D186×H355mm Capacity: 600ml Materials:Upper Bowl, Lower Bowl, Alcohol Burner: Heatproof Glass (Borosilicate Glass)Burner Cover, Cover and Upper Bowl Stand, Stand: Stainless SteelWindbreak: AluminumAlcohol Lamp Holder, Measuring Spoon: PolypropyleneStand-Side Glass Grip, Packing, Grip, Stand Stabilizer: Silicone RubberFilter: Cloth, Stainless SteelMetal Filter: Stainless Steel, Silicone Rubber   Made in Japan   Looking for the product manual?
