Selecting a Coffee Brewing Method (#)

  „The lower globe contains water that gets forced up into the glass globe above as it almost reaches the boiling point. The hot water then steeps with the coffee grounds sitting in this upper chamber and the heat is shut off. The temperature of the lower chamber cools and causes the coffee infusion to be pulled back into this lower chamber by a vacuum, separating the grounds from the coffee by a filter during this process.

  „This method, while practical, is a disparaging disgrace to the coffee bean. Even brewing with boiling water is bad enough (coffee should be extracted at 195 - 205 degrees F), then actually boiling the liquor is asking for a thin, bitter, tarry cup.
