We love vacuum brewing! It was a predominant infusion method early in the century, before paper coffee filters became widely popular. It takes a bit longer, but once you have tried it a couple times the process is fast and simple. And your incentive to use these devices will be clear: coffee with pronounced body and no sediment; very clean and crisp; a cup where flavors are dramatic and heightened in every respect. Delicate coffees (African coffees, central Americans...) are especially suited for vacuum brewing. Is vacuum brewing for everyone? No...vacuum brewing produces a very clean cup - and so some can find it weak. But one man's "clean" is another man's "weak"! If you like French press brewing, the clarity of this cup might seem thin to you...it is a matter of preference. We have more tips on brewing on this page. For more, see our tip sheet for the Cona Vacuum Brewer, and the Yama Vacuum Brewer.  Check out our Yama vacuum brewing pictorial
