KNOW YOUR SOPHON COFFEE BREWER

YOUR NEW GOURMIA SIPHON COFFEE BREWER A NEW & SLEEK INTERPRETATION OF AN OLD ART FORM

A “vacuum” coffee maker brews coffee using two chambers where vapour pressure and vacuum produce coffee. This type of coffee maker is also known as a vac pot, siphon or syphon coffee maker, and was invented in the 1830s. These devices have since been used for more than a century in many parts of the world. While vacuum coffee makers generally were excessively complex for everyday use, they were prized for producing an exceptionally clear brew and were quite popular until the middle of the twentieth century. Our new and innovative Siphon Coffee Brewer combines all the quality and excitement of its

predecessors in a clean and practical modern design. Simply fill the carafe with your desired amount of water, add your favorite ground coffee into the brew unit, and let the Gourmia Siphon Coffee Brewer do all the work!

ASSEMBLING THE SOPHON COFFEE BREWER

UNDERSTANDING THE SIPHON COFFEE BREWING PROCESS

The Gourmia Siphon Coffee Brewer is a vacuum coffee maker that operates as a siphon, where heating and cooling the lower vessel changes the vapour pressure of water in the lower, first pushing the water up into the upper tank, then allowing the water to fall back down into the lower vessel (carafe). The principle of a vacuum coffee maker is to heat water in the lower vessel (A) of the brewer until expansion forces the contents through a narrow tube (B) into the upper tank containing coffee grounds (as water temperature increases, dense liquid water increasingly converts to less dense water vapour gas, which takes up more space and increases pressure); when the water reaches and exceeds the boiling point (so the vapour pressure equals and then exceeds atmospheric

pressure), the (water vapour) pressure in the lower vessel exceeds the pressure in the upper tank and water is pushed up the siphon tube (C) into the upper tank. During brewing, a small amount of water and sufficient water vapour remain in the lower vessel (D) and are kept hot enough so the pressure will support the column of water in the siphon. When enough time has elapsed that the coffee has finished brewing, (E) the heat is removed and the pressure in the bottom vessel drops, so the force of gravity pushes the water down (F) into the lower vessel, through a strain-er and away from the grounds, (G) ending brewing. The upper tank is then removed and the coffee is now (H) ready to be served from the lower chamber (carafe).

MAKING YOUR COFFEE

1. Place the unit on a secure and sturdy platform. Pour water into the Carafe (hot and plug the unit into a power base

2. Make sure the filter is placed securely in the upper tank (see previous page).

3. Place the upper Tank onto the Carafe securely and pour in your choice of ground coffee. (See chart on the opposite page for recommended amount).

4. As you plug the power base into an electrical outlet, the LCD will begin flashing 000 several times.

5. When the flashing stops, press the power button two times the LCD will display “00” on the left side. The heater will begin working and the LCD will display a flashing dash moving around the display, indicating the heater is on. About two minutes later, the water will rise through the siphon tube into the upper tank.
   AUTO FUNCTION MODE

6. After all of the water settles into the upper tank, press the function button to choose the auto function. The LCD will begin to count down from 60 (seconds) as the brewing process takes place.

7. At the end of 60 seconds, the unit will automatically turn off. As the pressure inside the Carafe is released and the water cools down, the coffee will spill down into the Carafe.

8. Carefully remove the upper tank from the Carafe by slowly twisting and pulling the upper tank.
   BEWARE: The Tank may be very hot – use padded gloves or a towel.

9. Your freshly brewed coffee is now ready to be served. Enjoy!
   MANUAL FUNCTION MODE

10. After all of the water settles into the upper tank, press the function button to choose the auto function. The LCD will display 01 and begin counting upward as the brewing process takes place.

11. When you feel the coffee is at its optimum, press the power button to turn off the machine. As the pressure inside the Carafe is released and the water cools down, the coffee will spill down into the Carafe.

12. Carefully remove the upper tank from the Carafe by slowly twisting and pulling the upper tank.
    BEWARE: The Tank may be very hot – use padded gloves or a towel.

13. Your freshly brewed coffee is now ready to be served. Enjoy!
