| Instructions for Using the Yama Coffee Siphons |
 |
Drop the washable, reusable cloth covered filter into
the funnel (glass infusion chamber) with the chain hanging down into the
glass tube.
Pull the chain down until you can hook it to the bottom of the siphon
tube. |
 |
Stand the funnel onto its holder. Add one heaping
measure of ground coffee per "cup".
Fill the bottom carafe with fresh, cool water up to the maximum capacity
mark (5 or 8 "cup"). |
 |
Place the funnel onto the bottom carafe and gently
twist to fit the rubber stopper and tube into the opening.
Place on stove, low to medium heat.
Note: If using an electric stove, you must use the wire trivet
between the carafe and the burner. |
 |
As the water boils, it will be siphoned to the top
funnel chamber, where it will infuse with the coffee grounds.
You may now stir the mixture a bit.
It is normal for a little water to remain in the bottom carafe. |
 |
Let brew about 60 seconds, then remove the coffeemaker
from the heat source.
The coffee will then filter back down into the carafe, leaving the
grounds at the top. |
 |
Gently rock the funnel back and forth to loosen it from
the carafe, lift off and stand it onto its holder.
Pour and enjoy the coffee! |

Retro Coffeemaker
Made in Portugal, the Retro-Coffeemaker is reminiscent of its predecessor
from Vienna, from around the mid 1800's. It is a wonder to watch as it makes
coffee.
Coffee is placed in the carafe and hot water in the server. With everything
in place, the burner is lit under the server. As the water is heated, it
exits the server and showers the ground coffee in the carafe. At the same
time, the server rises and the flame under it is automatically extinguished.
A vacuum forms in the server and the coffee is called back into it. Open the
tap and pour yourself a wonderful cup of hot coffee.
Balance and supports - solid brass
Serving container - solid brass or copper with tin-lined interior
Base - hard and resistant to denatured alcohol
Uninflammable wick
Silicone seals
No-drip tap

Use & Care of the Retro
Coffeemaker
 |
Pre-heat water in a kettle, so it's ready
for when it needs to be poured into the server..
Assemble the unit as shown, on a flat, solid surface.
Close the tap.
Remove the wick from the glass burner and fill half-way with methanol or
denatured alcohol. Replace the wick.
Remove the cover from the glass carafe and gently press the siphoning
tube into the serving container so that it forms a seal.
For the 1000cc units, place about 5-6 tablespoons of ground coffee into
the glass carafe (4-5 tbsp for the 600cc units). Adjust the quantity to
your own taste. |
 |
Remove the top center plug from the server
and pour about 600-1000cc (20-34 ounces) of water into it.
Securely replace the top center plug on the server.
Tip the server up using the knob on the counterbalance, open the wick
cover and release the boiler slowly so that it keeps the burner cover
open.
Ignite the flame. |
 |
Depending on the amount and the temperature
of the water, it will take from 7 to 9 minutes to begin its performance.
As the water heats, it is forced through the sleeve into the glass
carafe and over the coffee, to mingle with it. |
 |
As the server gets lighter, it will rise
with the help of the counterbalance, and release the wick cover,
extinguishing the flame.
On the outside chance that the burner cover should remain open, gently
tip the cover handle to close it. |
 |
As vacuum forms in the boiler, the coffee
is recalled through the sleeve into the server, and the grounds remain
in the carafe.
Before opening the tap to pour the coffee, loosen the top center plug on
the server to release the vacuum.
If you enjoy really strong coffee, the burner can be relit at this point
and the brewing process repeated. |

Alcohol Burner |
No-drip spout |
Filter on Siphoning Tube |
| Use only denatured alcohol or
methanol: |
Make sure the burner is always at least 1/4
full when operating. Wipe up and dry spills before lighting. Never allow
it to burn dry, and never fill it while it is burning. |
| If the burner cover (flame
cap) remains open: |
Tip the burner cover handle to close it,
and lightly oil the hinge when you clean the unit. |
| If coffee does not flow from
the server to the carafe: |
Check that the flame is burning.
Check that the top center plug is in the closed position.
Check that the siphoning tube is placed tightly into the server. |
| If coffee does not flow from
the carafe to the server: |
Check that the top center plug is in the
closed position.
Check that the siphoning tube is placed tightly into the server. |
| If coffee does not flow from
the spigot: |
Check that the top center plug on the
server is open or in the open position. |
| Cleaning: |
Always wait to clean the machine until it
has cooled completely.
Remove the glass, dump out the grounds and wash as you would all glass.
Never clean a hot glass with cold water, to prevent breakage.
The server and siphoning tube can be cleaned by running under water.
Never attempt to open the server other than by the top center plug, as
it is hermetically sealed.
Never use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads or hard brushes for polishing
or cleaning.
Lightly oil the hinge of the burner on a regular basis, to guarantee
automatic closure. |
