Brones, A. (2015). What Is Siphon Coffee, and How Is It Made? kitchn.

An evaluation takes place where this siphon coffee all started back in the 1830s, by Loeff of Berlin and the method of brewing became popular once the French woman, Marie Fanny Amelne Massot of Lyons, managed to successfully commercialize globally by designing a product made of two “glass balloons” which uses vapour pressure for transferring of fluid.

By heating the lower chamber, the vapor pressure forces the water to rise into the upper chamber. Once it reaches the upper chamber, the water will mix with the coffee grounds. When the heating source is turned off, the loss in vapour pressure will cause the mixture to flow down into the lower chamber through a filter attached to the bottom of the upper chamber. As a result, the bottom chamber will be filled with bre...
