Vintage Cory Vacuum Coffee Pot Brewing Demo

These old vacuum coffee pots make great coffee and are fun to watch! We just learned about them a couple of years ago and thought we'd turn you on to how they work. We'll be putting it up for sale on that auction site...you know....

Thank you very much!!! I appreciate your kind remarks!! Denny

Yup...a glass rod which is kind of dimpled so as to allow the brew to be sucked back into the pot yet keep the grounds out. Amazing that it does such an efficient job - no grounds in the brew!

does this still work without the rubber thingy (gasket, i believe you called it)? the one on mine is missing :S

[wwwohioantiqueshops]

@chazDRAVIS Hello, Nope - you gotta have the rubber thingy - gasket - to make a tight seal otherwise it cannot create the pressure and vacuum effect that respectively cause the water to rise when heated and fall when cooled. Hope you find the rubber thingy :-) Denny

pretty cool vacuum coffee pot. i've seen these double potted coffee pots but like you mentioned, they were made of metal (aluminum actually).

i have question for you though. wasn't the top pot part, where the coffeegrounds are, wasn't that hot when you grabbed it with your hand???

i was wondering how you were going to pour the coffee with the top part on and then i seen you grab it with your hand and i can't help wonder if it was hot???

[wwwohioantiqueshops]

@Antisallicrew Hi! The top part is not hot at all to the touch as the hot coffee only brews for a minute or so and the top is insulated from the bottom with the rubber gasket so it does not get hot when the water heats up. It's a trip and we use one every day and even gave one to the doctor that did wife's knee replacement last year.

A teaspoon for every two cups??? That's not coffee...that's hamster piss.

hah, lack of professionalism nothing.. that was probably the most thorough, easy to understand demonstration of a vacuum coffee maker ive seen yet, good work

[awful8484]

Nice job. You explained everything from start to finish, I wish more instructional videos did this. And, don't worry about some of these negative people's remarks, take solace knowing they will never amount to anything in life. Keep up the good work.

I have one of these, never used it because i personally don't drink coffee, but i bought it because of the movie Woman of the YEar with katherine hepburn. well, i didn't buy it, the owners of the antique shop i got it from gave it to me for my graduation present!! thanks for posting!

@chazDRAVIS

If you have a Cory DCL/DCU or DNL/DNU model, they are designed without a rubber gasket (seal achieved with ground glass surfaces).

The pot shown is a Frankenpot: Cory upper and a General Electric lower pot. Also, do not put the glass carafe directly on the electric heating element as shown, use a heat spreader, or you may have a cracked carafe and quite a mess to clean up.

Dont drop it!  lol

[christoph2005]

the filter is just a glass rod? is it like a fine strainer?

[yoshtov]

i think you meant a TABLEspoon for every two cups; a teaspoon for every two cups is about half of the suggested strength, while a Tablespoon is pretty close to what is suggested.

@Godskid2009 haha same here.

@chazDRAVIS glad to help. From one coffee lover to another!! LOL. When I die, screw the formeldahyde. Just pump my veins full of coffee!!
