HARIO Technica Syphon TCA-3

Why a syphon

Heat water in the lower bowl until it rises into the upper chamber and soaks the coffee. Take away the heat and vacuum pulls the brew back down through a cloth filter. You see the extraction happen. It suits light roasts when you want clarity and sweetness, and it is a strong table-side brew.

Care

• Glass and open flame: use the lamp on a stable surface, away from children, curtains, and anything flammable. Let it cool before you move it.
• Do not microwave or oven the set. HARIO says only the upper bowl, lower bowl, and lid are dishwasher-safe; wash the lamp, stand, and cloth by hand.
• Never heat an empty lower bowl. Check there is enough water before you light the lamp.
• Thermal shock cracks glass. Do not run cold water on a hot bowl.
• Rinse the cloth after use; store it in water in the fridge. Replace if it mildews.
• Use denatured alcohol as specified for the lamp. Not petrol.
