Description
Yama Tabletop Siphon 3 Espresso Cup (15 ounce capacity) is a smaller version of our 5-cup Tabletop. It includes a warmer for liquid burning alcohol so that you can brew your after dinner coffee drinks right on your table! This feature also makes the Tabletop Siphon a great amenity for restaurants.
To make coffee with the Yama Tabletop Coffee Siphon, start with a slightly finer grind of coffee. Drop the washable, reusable cloth covered filter into the infusion chamber so that the chain hangs down into the glass siphon tube. Pull the chain down and hook it to the bottom of the siphon tube. Fill the bottom carafe to the mark for the desired number of cups with hot water and place one measuring spoon of coffee per cup in top chamber.
Fill the burner with "soot free" denatured alcohol, ethyl or an ethyl / isopropyl mixture that's high on the ethanol side. (See note below on alcohol.)
It takes about 4 minutes to heat the water which is siphoned to the top chamber. Allow 2 minutes for the brewing. Remove the coffee from the heat source; it will return to the bottom carafe. Remove the top, placing it in its convertible lid/stand.
A word about the alcohol: isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) tends to burn hotter than ethyl or methyl alcohols, but also burns orange and produces a lot of soot. This is available at hardware or outdoor stores.
If one of the siphon's chambers breaks during shipping, please let us know and we'll replace the chamber at our expense.

Reviews & Comments
Excellent coffee maker! It does take a bit longer than advertised (closer to 10 minutes rather than 3 to 5). Great for brewing a cup of coffee at the desk or table. Holds just enough for one large cup. No bitter taste at all, but still makes very strong coffee. Overall very pleased with this product!
I bought this as a gift, and I think it's safe to say it was a hit. My friend is a chem engineering major and loves coffee, so this seemed like the perfect present. He said he used Isopropyl Alcohol (rubbing alcohol; I don't think he had 100% -- probably used 70%) as lighter fluid and that the resulting cup of coffee was indeed "strong but without the bitter aftertaste [of a french press or drip coffee]." This syphon coffee maker is a great gift idea for any coffee lover who is up for trying a new and quite flashy way of brewing! :)
