Subject: An old favorite is new again, for me
|
When I lived in Philadelphia my house was at the other end of the city
from the 9th Street Italian ket. Having moved South, that ket area
is still my favorite and now parts of it are accessible from my new home
in South Florida as Fantes.com
When my krups moka brew coffee maker died, and was not replaceable, I
went back to a glass vacuum, stove top. At http://fantes.com/ I found a
full inventory of Yama Coffee Siphons and others. They even had the
filters in stock, some decently priced green beans, and just about
anything imaginable for coffee or kitchen use.
VERY important to me they were even able to supply just the top part of
the syphon on which I had chipped the base.

For years, it was merely a source of information for me. My second
order arrived earlier this week ...

Howdy Alan!
And welcome back into the world of vac pot users. I've been preaching the
value of vacuum coffee brewers for a long time. I use Silex vintage pots
myself because that's what my grandmother used & she left her Silex to me.
Once mastered there is no other method of brewing coffee that produces as
clean & flavorful extraction as the vac pot. A point about filters; I've
tried the new plastic mesh, cloth & paper filters but none work as well as
the old Silex rod with the spring lock. Like the vac pot itself, some things
work so well they are hard to improve upon.

I have found my old Silex spring lock filter rod. Our move from Pa to
Fla involved a downsizing from a house of 3400 sq foot plus garage plus
yard to a condo of 1200 total. BUT, both the Cory rod and the Silex
spring lock seem possibly irreplaceable and did not take up much room in
the boxes.

Hi Alan, they're not irreplaceable & they come up on eBay auctions often
enough. {:-)
Cheers!
