The Art & Science of Siphon Coffee - By World Siphonist Judge

Explore the art and science behind siphon coffee with Yannis Cheng, Lazzy Project Co-founder and World Siphonist Championship Judge. The Art & Science of Siphon Coffee with Yannis Cheng Siphon coffee is more than a visually striking brewing method. Behind the theatre of vacuum brewing is a precise relationship between heat, pressure, extraction, agitation and time. As part of Brewtiful Festival 2026, join Yannis Cheng, Co-founder of Lazzy Project and World Siphonist Championship Judge, for an intimate 90-minute workshop exploring both the science and craft of siphon brewing. Rather than simply following a fixed recipe, Yannis will guide participants through the principles that allow you to understand, adjust and ultimately build a siphon recipe around the coffee in front of you. What you'll explore: • Master the Siphon — Understand vacuum, pressure and heat control and how they influence brewing. • Control the Extraction — Explore the relationship between grind size, water temperature, agitation and brew time. • Build Your Recipe — Learn how to adjust brewing variables according to taste instead of simply following numbers. • Brew & Taste with Yannis — Put the concepts into practice through hands-on brewing and sensory evaluation. This workshop is designed for coffee enthusiasts, home brewers, baristas and coffee professionals who want to better understand siphon brewing and develop a more intentional approach to extraction.
