Hario Sommelier Coffee Syphon

The cloth filter provides a cleaner, more sediment-free cup that highlights the delicate nuances of lighter roasts. The stainless steel filter allows more coffee oils to pass through, resulting in a heavier, more full-bodied mouthfeel.

While the syphon is designed for use with the included alcohol burner, it can be used on electric radiant stoves. It is not recommended for use on induction cooktops or gas ranges without a specific heat diffuser.

Borosilicate glass is heat-resistant and durable, but it remains glass and should be handled with care. We recommend hand-washing all glass components with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge to avoid scratches or accidental breakage.

The syphon has a 20-ounce capacity, which translates to approximately five standard 4-ounce coffee cups. It is best suited for serving two to three people if you prefer standard 6-to-8-ounce mug sizes.

Syphon brewing requires a bit of practice to manage the heat and timing, but it is very rewarding. Once you find the right grind size and heat control, the process becomes a consistent and meditative ritual.

No, the handle is made from heat-resistant plastic and is designed to stay cool to the touch. This allows you to safely pour the coffee directly from the decanter once the brewing cycle is complete.
