This cooling down results in a vacuum within seconds after you have snuffed the flame of the heat source.

Now please notice on the pictures, that the upper bowl has a hollow stem and a rubber seal to make an airtight connection to the lower bowl.

Once the heated water starts to produce steam, this pushes the water from the lower bowl upward through this stem into the upper bowl, that acts as a temporary reservoir, in which you  added your dry coffee grounds.

When no more water rises up, you may let it brew for a minute or so, then snuff the flame of the heat source and almost instantly the extract will be gentle sucked passed the filter back into the lower bowl.

This results in a perfect extract of all tasteful flavours of the coarse ground coffee beans. Only glass parts (of the ‘D-Genius’ model) come into contact with the brew.

As none of these components pick up any taste, next time you may brew any other extract in your Cona without any distasteful reminder of your previous brew. This makes it also perfect for the preparation of  tea, gluhwein or other extracts.

 

For professional quality assesment of coffee, there is no better gear with a higher degree of fidelity.

The modern-day Cona coffee brewer became an instant worldwide design-classic from the start of production in 1962 for good practical reasons, that still apply today.

Its elegant design and innovative use of quality materials came with a multitude of clever technical solutions. The taste has always remained marvelous.

The system brews your coffee at the exact right temperature (slightly hotter than your everyday electric pour-on brewer: a positive difference in taste, but on first encounter watch out not to ‘burn’ your tongue).

The Cona is a prime example of ‘form follows function’. The industrial design by Abram Games first creates steam to push liquid upward, followed by a reversal of the flow as steam cools down to ambient temperature in the lower bowl.
