Siphon pot (Syphon), commonly known as "plug wind pot" or "siphon", is a simple and easy-to-use method of coffee brewing, and it is also one of the most popular coffee brewing methods in cafes. Although the siphon pot has the nickname of "plug wind type", it has nothing to do with the siphon principle, but uses water heating to produce water vapor, resulting in thermal expansion and cold contraction principle, pushing the hot water from the lower sphere to the upper pot, and then sucking back the water from the upper pot after the lower pot cools.

In 1840, a glass test tube in a laboratory triggered the invention of the siphon coffee maker (Syphon). The British took the test tube used in Biya's chemical experiment as a model to create the first vacuum coffee pot. Two years later, Mrs. Bachang of France improved the kettle with a little spring in shape, and the familiar upper and lower convection siphon pot was born. The siphon coffee maker lived in France for a long time, but never got a good chance to be very popular. It became popular for the first time when it was brought to Denmark and Japan in the mid-20th century.

The Japanese like the "tortoise hair" personality of the siphon pot technology standard, carefully deliberating the complex relationship between the size of coffee powder, water and time to mobilize the whole army, and develop a well-regulated coffee path. The aestheticist Danes focused on functional design, Peter, who imported siphon pots from France in the mid-1950 s. Bolton (Peter Bodum), who thought French-made pots were expensive and difficult to use, partnered with architect Kaas Klaeson to develop Bodum's first styling siphon pot, which went public under the name "Santos".

At present, siphons on the market can be divided into two categories, domestic, Taiwan, and Japanese, and their prices are also on the increase. There are too many domestic brands not introduced. Taiwan-made brands such as YAMI, Japanese-made more well-known ones are HARIO.

Siphon pot in the selection and purchase of the aspects that need to pay attention to is the glass material of the pot, to choose high temperature resistance and can accept the high and low temperature difference. Secondly, according to the different needs, we should pay attention to its capacity. Generally speaking, the siphon pot can be divided into 2 people, 3 people and 5 people. Prices range from 100 to 200 yuan.
