The history of Belgian pots

The history of syphon:

Belgian pot (Syphon), commonly known as "glass ball" or "siphon", is a simple and easy-to-use method of coffee brewing, and it is also one of the most popular coffee brewing methods in cafes. Although the Belgian pot has the nickname of "plug wind", it has nothing to do with the siphon principle, but uses water to heat and produce steam, causing hot expansion and cold contraction, pushing the hot water from the lower sphere to the upper pot, and then sucking back the water from the upper pot after the lower pot cools. Does that sound mysterious? Not at all. Follow our course again, and you will understand!

There are many theories about the origin of syphon, among which the most well-known one is invented by the British Naval technician (Robert Napier) around 1840.

In addition, its evolution is roughly as follows:

In the 1840s, it was perfected by the hands of France and Austria. During this period, the French learned a lot about coffee from Turkish residents. For nearly 50 years, this strange machine became one of the common decorations on middle-class tables in Paris and Vienna.

After 135 years, the Swiss were once crazy about syphon. But it was not until 1985 that ROYAL COFFEEMAKER began to produce professionally in Antwerp.
