Nispira Belgian Syphon Coffee Maker

Unlike drip machines that simply pass water through grounds, this siphon brewer uses a vacuum pressure process. The water is heated in one chamber, forced into the coffee grounds, and then siphoned back into the original chamber once the heat source is removed, resulting in a cleaner, more aromatic cup that highlights subtle flavor notes.

It requires a bit of practice to manage the flame and brewing time, but it is straightforward once you understand the mechanics. You will need to purchase high-percentage denatured alcohol or fuel specifically designed for spirit burners, as it is not included for safety reasons.

No, this unit is designed specifically to be used with the included alcohol burner. The stand and balance mechanism are calibrated for the burner, and placing it on a stove could damage the glass or the delicate balance components.

The capacity is 0.5 liters, which typically yields about two standard cups of coffee. It is best suited for intimate brewing sessions rather than serving a large group.

The glass is high-quality and heat-resistant, but like any glass brewing equipment, it requires careful handling. While the unit is durable, it is wise to treat the chambers with the same care you would use for fine glassware.
