Description
The Hario Syphon Technica turns extraction into a performance
Indian cafés often struggle to offer a brew method that’s both technically sound and visually compelling at the counter. The Hario Syphon Technica solves this — vacuum pressure pulls water through coffee in full view of the guest, delivering clarity in the cup and drama on the bar.
Precision through pressure, not guesswork
- Vacuum siphon method, in continuous use since the 1800s
- Heatproof glass upper and lower bowls for full visual tracking
- Consistent, controlled extraction cup after cup
- Hario engineering — over a century of Japanese coffee equipment craft
- Made in Japan using high-grade materials
Built from glass, brass and stainless steel
Heatproof Glass Chambers
The upper and lower bowls are heatproof glass, built to withstand direct heat from the alcohol burner while showing every stage of extraction.
Brass Fastener
A brass fastener secures the upper bowl to the lower chamber, holding the vacuum seal steady through the brew cycle.
Stainless Steel Filter & Burner Cover
Stainless steel components handle filtration and burner coverage, built for repeated use without corrosion.
Stand Assembly
The stand combines stainless steel, iron, zinc alloy and phenol resin for a stable base during brewing.
Aluminum Windbreak
An aluminum windbreak shields the alcohol flame, keeping heat consistent even on an open café counter.

Hario Syphon Technica — FAQ
How does the Hario Syphon Technica brew coffee?
Heat from the alcohol burner creates vapour pressure in the lower bowl, pushing water up into the upper glass chamber to mix with coffee. Once heat is removed, vacuum draws the brewed coffee back down through the filter.
What’s the difference between the 3-cup and 5-cup versions?
The 3-cup (TCA-3CUP) suits smaller home servings, while the 5-cup (TCA-5) offers a larger capacity suited to café counters and multiple guests.
What is the syphon made of?
The upper and lower bowls are heatproof glass. The stand uses stainless steel, iron, zinc alloy and phenol resin, with a brass fastener and aluminum windbreak.
Does it come with a burner and stand?
Yes. Each syphon ships with an alcohol burner, stand assembly, burner cover, filter, windbreak and a measuring spoon.
How do I maintain the glass bowls?
Hand-wash the glass chambers and silicone packing after each use, and check the seal periodically to maintain vacuum consistency.
A brewer for those who taste with their eyes first
The Hario Syphon Technica is built for Indian home brewers and specialty cafés that want more than a clean cup — they want a brewing ritual their guests remember. Choose the 3-cup for a personal pour, or the 5-cup for a counter-ready showpiece.
