Yama Alcohol Burner for TCA3D & TCA5D Tabletop Siphons

If your Yama tabletop siphon needs a replacement alcohol burner, this is the part to look at. The Yama AB alcohol burner is designed for TCA3D and TCA5D tabletop siphon coffee makers. It stands 3 inches tall and uses a wick-fed flame to heat the brewer from below.

It's a straightforward heat source for a hands-on brewing method. There isn't a flame-control dial: this burner is lit or extinguished, much like a candle. That's worth knowing before you buy, especially if you're looking for more control over the heat during brewing.

What does a siphon burner do?

A tabletop siphon coffee maker needs heat beneath its lower chamber. As the water heats, pressure moves it into the upper chamber where it meets the coffee grounds. When the heat is removed, the brewed coffee returns to the lower chamber through the filter. This alcohol burner provides the heat for that process.

If you're new to siphon brewing, think of the burner as one part of the setup, not a coffee maker on its own. You still use your siphon's brewing instructions for water, coffee, assembly, and timing.

Fit and key details

• Compatible models: Yama TCA3D and TCA5D tabletop siphon coffee makers.
• Height: 3 inches.
• Burner style: Wick-fed alcohol burner.
• Flame control: Non-adjustable. Choose a compatible adjustable burner instead if variable heat is a priority.
• Yama part number: AB, useful when matching a replacement to your existing setup.

Check your brewer before ordering

Match your siphon's model number to TCA3D or TCA5D rather than assuming any tabletop burner will fit. This is a replacement option for those Yama models, not a universal burner for every siphon or coffee brewer.

Using an alcohol burner safely

Follow the burner and siphon instructions for the approved fuel, filling, lighting, and extinguishing procedure. Set up on a stable, heat-resistant surface with good ventilation and keep flammable items clear of the flame. Never add fuel while the burner is lit or still hot, and don't leave it unattended. Let it cool completely before refilling or storing it.

If you like the simple wick-and-flame approach to siphon brewing, this keeps that familiar routine going. Just make sure the model matches and remember that simple doesn't mean adjustable.
