Principle.

The Belgian palace pot, which has the characteristics of both siphon coffee pot and mocha pot, is full of seesaw fun. From the outside, it looks like a symmetrical balance, with a kettle and alcohol lamp on the right and a glass coffee pot with coffee powder on the left. The ends are connected by a thin tube bent like a crutch.

When the kettle is full, the balance is out of balance and tilts to the right; after the water is heated for some time, the steam rushes open the piston in the tube, rushes down the tube to the glass pot, and meets the coffee powder waiting at the other end, which happens to be the favorite temperature of coffee. After all the water in the kettle turns into moisture and runs to the left and is fully mixed with the coffee powder, because of the siphon principle, the hot coffee will go back to the hometown on the right through the filter at the bottom of the thin tube, leaving the dregs at the bottom of the glass pot. At this time, the coffee maker turned on the faucet connected to the kettle and a cup of perfect coffee came out of the oven.
