Yama Glass Stovetop Siphon Coffee Maker – 8 Cup / 24 oz

Siphon brewing is one of the oldest and most visually compelling methods in coffee — and the Yama Glass Stovetop Siphon makes it accessible without sacrificing the theater. Heat creates vapor pressure in the sealed lower chamber, pushing water up through the siphon tube into the upper chamber where it infuses with the grounds. Remove the heat, and the brewed coffee is drawn back down through the cloth filter by vacuum. The result is a remarkably clean, full-bodied cup with an aroma that fills the room.

This is a brewer worth setting out. Handblown borosilicate glass, a heat-resistant handle, no plastic contact with water or grounds. At 8 cups (24 oz by Yama’s 3–4 oz cup standard), it’s sized for sharing. Also available in a 5-cup size.

Features

• Vacuum/siphon brew method — clean extraction, intense aroma, full body
• Handblown borosilicate glass — heat-resistant, dishwasher safe, won’t crack under temperature swings
• Heat-resistant handle — safe to handle directly off the burner
• Reusable cloth filter — included, washable, no paper needed
• No plastic contact with water or grounds — pure cup, no off-flavors
• 8 Yama cups / approx. 24 oz capacity

Pro Tip

Grind matters here: use a medium-fine to auto-drip grind. Too coarse and the extraction falls flat; too fine and you risk slow drawdown through the cloth filter. The 60-second infusion time is short — grind fine enough to extract fully in that window.

How to Brew

1. Use a medium-fine grind (around auto-drip; adjust to taste).
2. Drop the cloth filter into the upper chamber with the chain hanging into the siphon tube. Hook the chain to the bottom of the tube.
3. Fill the lower carafe to the 8-cup mark with hot water. Add 8 measuring spoons of coffee to the upper chamber.
4. Place the siphon on the burner using the wire trivet. Set to medium heat only — do not use high heat.
5. As water heats, vapor pressure pushes it up into the upper chamber to infuse with the grounds.
6. Let brew for approximately 60 seconds, then remove from heat.
7. As it cools, vacuum draws the brewed coffee back down through the filter into the lower carafe.
8. Gently rock the upper chamber until it releases. Remove and bring the carafe to the table.
9. Serve immediately.
