Vacuum Pot is delivering the best-tasted fine coffee. The process of making coffee in these pots is considered superior to other methods. The vacuum coffee pot is made of glass or metal and has an upper and lower pot. The upper pot sits directly on top of the lower one. They are both sealed with a stopper. A filter and tube are attached to the upper pot, and the tube hangs down between the two pots. The buildup of steam in the lower pot forces the water up into the funnel, where it mixes with the ground coffee. A quick stir wets the grounds into the water, and a small amount of water left behind in the bowl keeps the steam coming and the temperature constant. The downside is that it can be slow and tricky to use. But, if you want a rich, excellent cup of coffee, try this method of brewing coffee. |

As not much has change in the construction of vacuum pots, here you have the original Instructions for using a Silex Vacuum Brewer, dated back in 1920s. 1. Fill lower bowl with water to a point two inches below top of neck. 2. Place and level tablespoon of coffee per cup, and one extra "for the pot", in the upper bowl. This is the quantity that pleases most people. If you prefer stronger coffee add a larger quantity to the upper bow, if you wish weaker coffee. use a smaller quantity of coffee. Use the medium ground coffee 3. Place the lower bowl over the heath. Seat the upper bowl on the lower by giving a slightly twist to make airtight mal between upper and lower bowl. 4. In the few minutes the water in lower bowl will rise and mix with the coffee in the upper bowl. Note: A little water will always remain in the lower bowl. This is necessary to prevent heat breakage. 5. Stir the mixture in upper bowl with a spoon. 6. Now that all the water has risen to the upper bowl, steam will commence rising through the take to agitate the mixture in the upper bowl. At this time, if you are using the electric model, you should turn off the heath. 7. The water should remain in the upper bowl three to four minutes. Keep the vacuum pot over low heath for two minutes. Then turn off the heath. The water will then remain in the upper bowl about another minute, thus allowing the water to remain in contact with the ground coffee the proper time of three to four minutes. 8. As the lower bowl cools a vacuum is created, which draws the brew down into the lower bowl. 9. Remove the upper bowl. 10. Pour from lower bowl. The lower half serves as a jug for pouring the coffee. Serve immediately in order to taste the coffee at its best. |
