The condenser acts as the primary brewing vessel where the coffee extraction takes place. Crafted from laboratory-grade borosilicate glass, it is designed to manage the phase change from rising vapor back into liquid water at the ideal brewing temperature.
The vessel’s high-wall geometry allows for “full immersion,” where the coffee grounds remain suspended in a stable thermal environment. Unlike drip methods, the condenser ensures that the water temperature remains consistent throughout the entire brewing cycle, unlocking the complex oils and aromatic compounds that define high-altitude coffees.
Key Features:
-
Thermal Mass Retention: Thick-walled glass construction keeps the slurry at the optimal extraction temperature.
-
Integrated Filtration Housing: Specifically designed to seat the filter assembly securely, preventing bypass during the vacuum phase.
-
Wide-Aperture Opening: Facilitates easy agitation (stirring) and allows the coffee’s aroma to bloom fully during the steeping process.
