Referred to by some as "the coffee bong". Happens to be my personal favorite. Not only does it leave the complexity of the coffee intact, it is entertaining as well. To speed up the process, preheat quality water to the boiling point. While the water is heating, grind the beans to a medium-coarse consistency. Make sure the stopper is in place. Measure 7 grams or 1/4 ounce of coffee per cup and place in the top carafe. When the water is heated, pour the desired amount into the bottom carafe. Place the top on the bottom Carafe and gently set it on the heat. (If you are using direct heat, a diffuser is advisable.)

As the water starts to rise into the top carafe, give it a gentle stir. Leave the pot on the heat 1 to 3 minutes (depending on how strong you like your perfect coffee). Remove. As the pot cools, the coffee which has formed at the top will be sucked down into the bottom.Your guests will give you a standing ovation right about now. Bow.
