Hario Technica Syphon

The vacuum brewing method produces an exceptionally clean, tea-like cup with high clarity. Because it uses a cloth filter, it removes most oils and sediments, resulting in a bright and nuanced flavor profile.

While the set includes an alcohol burner, you can also use a butane burner or a dedicated halogen beam heater for more consistent temperature control. If you prefer using your kitchen stove, ensure you have a compatible stand or burner attachment, as the glass carafe cannot sit directly on an induction or electric range.

Cleaning requires a bit more effort than a standard drip machine. You must rinse the cloth filter thoroughly after each use and ensure all glass components are handled carefully during hand-washing to prevent breakage.

Yes, the 600ml capacity is designed to yield approximately five standard 120ml Japanese coffee cups. Keep in mind that the total output will be slightly less than the input volume due to the water absorbed by the coffee grounds.

Yes, Hario offers replacement upper and lower bowls for the TCA-5 model. Because the glass is borosilicate and heatproof, it is durable, but it remains fragile and should be handled with care.

The syphon comes with a cloth filter assembly, which is reusable for many brews if cleaned and stored properly. It is recommended to keep the cloth moist or stored in the refrigerator when not in use for extended periods to prevent it from drying out or developing odors.
