8 cup vacuum pot coffee brewer. The Yama Vacuum Brewer ships with one filter cloth, the filter assembly, a measuring spoon, lid/stand, and vacuum brewer. Additional filters are available for an additional charge. "Cup" refers to Yama's idea of what a cup should be and equals about 3-4 ounces for each cup.

Features:

• The handle is heat resistant.
• Made ofborosilicate glass so it won't crack under extreme temperatures.
• Comes with a reusable cloth filter and measuring spoon.
  

Use a fine grind for the best extraction when brewing.

Function:

A vertical styled Siphon pot is assembled by placing the open-tubed extended portion of the upper chamber into the mouth of lower chamber holding water. Ground coffee is added in the upper chamber over the filter. A heat source (open flame or electric plate/coil) under the lower chamber heats the water, the gas pressure builds forcing hot water to travel up the upper chamber's protrusion, through the filter, into the upper chamber and infuses with the ground coffee. After a predetermined time, the heat source is removed and the pressure reverses into a vacuum state and sucks the coffee down into the lower chamber leaving the spent coffee grounds on the upper chamber. The apparatus is usually disassembled to pour the coffee into cups.
