The Siphon brewing method is a bit more complicated than the French Press and Aeropress, but it produces a delicious cup of coffee. To brew with a Siphon, you will need coffee, water, a heat source, and two chambers.

Once the water boils, it will start to siphon into the upper chamber. When all of the water has siphoned into the upper chamber, remove it from the heat source. Allow the coffee to brew for 3 minutes and then stir.

To serve, put the upper chamber back on top of the lower chamber and screw on the lid. This will start the siphoning process reverse, and coffee will flow back into the lower chamber. Once all of the coffee has been siphoned, pour it into a mug and enjoy!
