Siphon Coffees

Since 1997, Café Balcony has been passionately brewing siphon coffee. The "regular coffee" is made in a rarely-sighted "siphon" pot: filtered water is heated over an open flame, forced through freshly ground beans of your choice, and then pulled back through them with gentle vacuum force - the 19th century way. Of course, the Café has all those espresso drinks you know and love . . . but probably made better than you've ever had.

Certified Organic coffee blended from three different countries and two roasting styles. A classic coffee taste that's exceptionally smooth.

This coffee, grown by the Kikuyu tribe, carries one of the highest marks, AA, that the coffee board of Kenya, CBK, gives. Most coffee insiders put Kenya coffee in their top five favorites noting the near perfect balance of fragrance, body and high fruitiness with wine-like acidity.

In the Mayan Highlands at elevations above 5,000 feet is grown what we feel is the finest Guatemalan coffee. Huehue-tenago is the highest and the coolest of the coffee growing regions, producing a uniquely spicy and bright coffee with hints of orange, cocoa, and cinnamon.

Although this coffee has an outstanding taste, more interesting is the monsooning process of bean preparation and why it is used. When ships would take long journeys across the seas carrying coffee, the high humidity and changing weather conditions changed the color and taste of the coffee. today that change is made by exposing the beans to the high humidity during the monsoon season. The result is a full bodied, lightly acidic, coffee.

This second largest Island in Indonesia gives us a very heavy-bodied coffee with a bit of a chocolate-earthy taste. The Northern Sumatra area of Mandheling is said to produce the heaviest bodied coffee in the world. This particular crop is triple picked to ensure a top rating.

This coffee has a full body with a sweet apricot aroma and earthy flavor.
