I am on my 3rd pot as keep breaking them. The fact that I continue to use the same brand is the best endorsement I can think of. The coffee is great and I am not able to go back to drip coffee. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because of the handle which over time will melt away.
Then place just the bottom section on med-high heat (a 7 on my electric range) with your desired water amount (3 or 5 cups).2. After two minutes, remove the Yama from the heat. Make certain that there are no water droplets on the bottom of the pot. When I started using my Yama 5-cup, it instantly made me realize that my previous stove-top coffee making devices had to go. They fit the Yama 3, 5, and 8 cup models. Set a timer for 2 minutes.4.
I use 45 grams of coffee for 5 cups, or 30 grams for 3 cups.3.
When water starts to bubble slightly (steeping), put the top on it.
Supposing everything was done perfectly, after 4 minutes all of the coffee will be back in the bottom ready to drink.
The Yama makes the best Americano coffee that you will get anywhere.Here is my method for making coffee with it:1.
After about a minute off the heat the coffee up top will fill back into the bottom, because you have *created a partial* vacuum by lowering the heat.5.
The water will now "travel north".
Now that the water is up top set the heat to low, and add your coffee (ground slightly finer than drip).
Getting the grind perfect is your goal.TIP:Get an antique "cory rod" glass filter off of ebay ($5-15).
They are also much easier to clean than a cloth filter, and never need to be replaced.
I have used this pot daily for several months. I prefer manual coffee brewers because I control the steep time.It makes much better coffee than an autodrip and is easy to use, but the handle will melt if the pot is not carefully placed on the burner and the flame kept low.Try the Bodum Santos filter for an easy to clean substitute for the cloth filter.
I got it for coffee, but, it's great for loose tea. It is the easiest method I've use, making perfect tea. Easy to clean, easy to brew.
