In honor of National and International Coffee Day, I joined Japanese company and leader in thermal control technology, Tiger Corporation in West Hollywood, Los Angeles, California for the U.S. release of its highly-anticipated automated siphon brew coffee system, Siphonysta, following a strong demand from its successful Kickstarter campaign earlier this year.
I had the privilege of sampling a few cups of siphoned coffee to learn the difference between drip coffee methods which loose oil and aroma from paper filters and an uneven extraction; whereas, with siphon brewing the technique uses a vacuum physics to harness a cleaner taste. Traditional siphon brew methods have required bulky equipment and a fifteen-minute prep time, limiting the process to artisanal boutique cafés. With Siphonysta, the brewing cycle takes a short three and a half minutes using the push of a button.
The system’s sleek, modern frame has been thoughtfully designed for the home, where the unit’s transparent cylinder displays a gorgeous spectacle: With a variety of user preferences, the brewer can watch the coffee rise and fall as steam instantly saturates the grounds before they’re stirred in a hypnotizing flurry of bubbles as the full flavor is extracted.
To learn more about Siphonysta and to watch it in action yourself, check out my coffee day lounging with Siphonysta:
Now available on Amazon for $699.99 , Siphonysta allows for state-of-the-art brewing at home using a blended steam and vacuum technique to bring out the full flavor of coffee beans.
