Need the wick to be tall enough that the flame touches the bottom of the Syphon.
Step 5
As it heats, the water will start to move up the chain to the second chamber.
When all the water has reached the top, adjust the heat source accordingly.
Step 6
Place the grounds into the chamber and use a bamboo paddle or chopstick to give it a quick, gentle stir, for 30 seconds.

The coffee will begin to be pulled back down into the bulb.
Then remove the syphon from the heat source.
This process is complete when the grounds have formed a small mound in the upper chamber.
