A quick video showing how I use the Hario TCA-5 Siphon. <br />
<br />
My set-up to make coffee using this method includes:<br />
<br />
Grinder: The Baratza Barista coffee grinder with the Essato attachment<br />
Water Kettle: Hamilton Beach (40898) water kettle<br />
Coffee: Costa Rica Helsar Zarcero from GrindstoneCoffee.com <br />
Heat Source: Blazer GB4101 Butane Burner<br />
Timer: Intellgentsia Coffee (free app)<br />
<br />
and of course...<br />
<br />
Siphon: Hario TCA-5 Siphon<br />
<br />
I have had the siphon for about a month now and am still learning how to properly prepare coffee this way. There are some very good resource across the web and so I have attempted to create a composite of that information as there seems to be agreement about somethings and differences about other things. What it comes down to it is practice, experimentation, and the understanding that taste is subjective so what might taste good to me may not taste good to you. So, the best tasting coffee will always be what taste best to you!<br />
<br />
For this size of siphon I am using 32 grams of coffee and have set the Baratza grinder to "20" which is about the mid-range on for the "filter" setting. I am still experimenting with the grind size as I have found that depending on the type of coffee the flavors can change. So "20" seems to be a nice middle ground (no pun intended...).<br />
<br />
I find that this method of preparing coffee yields a very hot cup of coffee (as I found out burning my tongue on my first try) and that the coffee stays "the same flavor" from first sip to last drop. Also in comparison to french press methods, there isn't the sludge, but instead you literally get a very clean cup of coffee. I really enjoy this method and it has been fun introducing my friends to it.<br />
<br />
My apologies, in advance, if something I said in the video doesn't jive with my written description. This is my first ever "presentation" type video I have posted on YouTube. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about my presentation.<br />
<br />
I hope this presentation can add to the body of information already available. Take care...<i class="fa fa-language transViewIcon clickable" title="Translation"></i>
