PARTS AND FEATURES
PARTS AND FEATURES
How siphon coffee is different
Siphon coffee brewing, also known as “vacuum”
coffee brewing, uses vapor pressure to push
hot water from the carafe into an upper
brewing chamber. Freshly brewed coffee then
pours back down into the carafe when brewing
is complete.
Siphon coffee brewing fully and evenly saturates
the coffee grounds with hot water, bringing out
the bright, intense flavors from your favorite
ground coffee. The coffee’s aroma stays
trapped inside the coffee brewer rather than
escaping into the air, resulting in clean, crisp,
and vibrant tasting coffee that drip coffee
brewers can’t produce.
Traditional siphon coffee brewing
Siphon coffee brewing is a full-immersion
craft brewing method done by hand, and
is traditionally a complex, difficult process
requiring constant attention, precise timing,
and frequent temperature adjustments.
Traditional siphon brewers often require
a burner or an open flame. Because of this
complexity and inconvenience, coffee lovers
often compromise and settle for the usual
drip coffee maker instead.
The KitchenAid®Siphon Coffee Brewer
The KitchenAid®Siphon Coffee Brewer brings
together the incredible flavors of siphon coffee
brewing with easy, safe operation and no open
flame. With the simple flip of a switch, the
Siphon Coffee Brewer automatically brews
exceptionally clean and bright tasting coffee
with no need for guesswork or adjustment.
Simply fill the carafe with your desired amount
of water, add your favorite ground coffee into
the brew unit, and let the Siphon Coffee
Brewer do all the work! With an exciting
brewing technique that you can watch, you
and your guests will love the brewing process
as much as the coffee’s exceptional flavor.

ASSEMBLING THE SIPHON COFFEE BREWER
Before rst use
Before using your Siphon Coffee Brewer for the first time, wash the carafe, brew unit,
brew unit stand, filter, and lid in hot, soapy water, then rinse with clean water and dry. To
avoid damage, do not fully immerse the carafe in water, and do not use abrasive cleaners
or scouring pads.
NOTE: The entire Siphon Coffee Brewer is hand wash only. To avoid damage, do not
wash any part of the carafe, brew unit, brew unit stand or the base with power cord
in a dishwasher.
2Place the brew unit stand on a flat,
sturdy surface. Insert the stainless steel
siphon tube into the brew unit stand.
Preparing the Siphon Coffee Brewer for use
1Place the base with power cord on a flat,
sturdy surface and plug it into a 3-prong
grounded outlet. If desired, wrap excess
cord around the cord holder on the
bottom of the base.

3Fill the carafe with fresh, filtered water
to the desired cup level as indicated on
the sides of the carafe. To avoid spills
on the countertop, do not overfill
the carafe.
2Scoop the desired amount of ground
coffee into the brew unit using the coffee
scoop; then, place the lid on the brew
unit. See the “Dosage recommendation
chart” on page 11 for more information.
4Place the carafe on the base.
NOTE: Measurements on the sides of
the carafe represent 5 oz. (148 ml) cups.
1Keep the brew unit steady by grasping
the brew unit handle, and use the coffee
filter handle to place the coffee filter into
the bottom of the brew unit. Turn the
coffee filter handle clockwise until the
coffee filter locks into place.

OPERATING THE SIPHON COFFEE BREWER
7Once the brewed coffee has stopped
pouring into the carafe, remove the
brew unit from the carafe and place
it in the brew unit stand.
8Remove the lid from the brew unit,
place it on the carafe, and turn clockwise
to lock it in place. Your coffee is now
ready to be served.
5Remove the brew unit from the brew
unit stand and place it on the carafe with
handle to the right or left of the carafe
handle. Turn the brew unit handle until
it aligns with the carafe handle and locks
into place.
6Press down on the ON/OFF switch
to begin the brewing cycle. The LED
indicator will glow and the water will
begin to heat.
NOTE: The amount of coffee brewed may
be slightly less than the amount of water
you put into the carafe, due to natural
evaporation during the brewing process.
This is normal.
NOTE: The Siphon Coffee Brewer
features a dual lock system that
mechanically and magnetically locks
the brew unit into place.
NOTE: The switch will automatically
turn off during the brewing cycle. Do not
remove the brew unit at this time, the
cycle is not yet complete. Allow the coffee
to finish pouring into the carafe.
OPERATING THE SIPHON COFFEE BREWER
IMPORTANT: For best flavor and quality,
we recommend drinking within the first
30 minutes after brewing. To avoid damage
to the brew unit, do not reheat already
brewed coffee in the carafe.
