Vacuum coffee maker

Okay, so you know how when you want coffee you usually make it with a coffee maker, right? Well, a vacuum coffee maker is a special kind of coffee maker that uses science to make really good coffee.

First, you put water in the bottom part of the coffee maker and coffee grounds in the top part. Then, you put the coffee maker on a heat source, like a stove, and turn it on. As the water heats up, it turns into steam and rises up into the top part. This is where the magic happens.

When the steam mixes with the coffee grounds, it extracts all the yummy coffee flavor and caffeine. But instead of the coffee dripping down into a pot like in a regular coffee maker, the vacuum coffee maker sucks the coffee back down into the bottom part. This means that all the flavor stays in the coffee and makes it taste really good.

So that's how a vacuum coffee maker works - it uses steam to extract all the flavor from the coffee and then sucks it back down to make a really yummy cup of coffee.
