Why Siphon Brewing Stands Out
Siphon brewing (also known as vacuum pot brewing) uses vapor pressure and gravity to create a visually stunning, flavor-clarifying coffee. It’s ideal for:
Unlocking subtle notes in dark roasts
Achieving smooth, low-sediment results
Creating a more theatrical, immersive brewing experience
Baristas and enthusiasts who value clarity and balance
Our roast is fine-tuned for the siphon’s unique temperature curves and drawdown timing.
