the siphon process

Refereed to as a vacuum coffee maker, this process was developed in the 1830's as a home brewing option.

How it works: A vacuum coffee maker operates as a siphon, where heating and cooling the lower vessel changes the vapor pressure of water in the lower, first pushing the water up into the upper vessel, then allowing the water to fall back down into the lower vessel

It it as beautiful as it is functional, and in this period where coffee was taking off, with a device like this, it certainly wasn’t meant to be brewed in the kitchen. You could brew in front of your guests and show off in the process.
