CoffeeKid - Vacuum Brewer Hey Day (#)
„At the front of my vac pot section, I briefly talked about the lack of good information online about the vacuum brewing method, and you have to wonder about this - after all, in the 30s, 40s, 50s, and even early 60s, the vacuum method ruled the kitchen along side perk and other methods.. Most of the major "appliance" companies of that era made vacuum pots, including Silex, Westinghouse, Cory, General Electric, Sunbeam, just to name a few. Some of these companies (like Silex) made a whole catalog's worth of different models and accessories. If you were a coffee drinker in the 40s or 50s and you appreciated a good cuppa, chances are you had a vacuum pot in the kitchen.“

CoffeeKid - Are Vacuum Brewers Different?
„For a long time in my "vac pot" fascination, I did think they were all the same. This opinion changed in early 2002 when I got to try some unique coffee brewers based on the vacuum brewing technology - balance brewers from Coffee4You. This company builds some of the most unique brewers on the planet. They're called balance brewers, and are functional antique replicas, works of art, or a combination of the two.“

„Logic tells you that vac pots heat the water beyond 100C. An experiment (a thermometer) would prove that you too are just plain wrong. The water in the upper (brewing) chamber of a vac pot is indeed in the ideal range of temperature.“

Despite the vigorous bubbling that you see, the water is NOT boiling in the upper vessel. The water in the lower vessel is boiling, of course.“

CoffeeKid - Machines, Beans and Cups... again
„It is not without some minor problems (very minor, like the rubber gasket sometimes unseats, and the plastic does scratch), but at $80 for an automatic vac pot, I think it's a good buy. The volume it produces is perfect for me - 750mls of brewed coffee is enough for two big mugs, or three medium sized ones.“

CoffeeKid - Vacuum Brewing Method
„The little Silex stove that came with this vac pot is awesome. They were all mint when I bought them, never used before, but I couldn't resist, now this is my daily coffee maker for my newspaper reading. Here, I just plugged the stove in - see the red coils?“
