Yama Vacuum Pot

[RonC]

I keep seeing notices that the Yama is no longer being imported to the US. I was going to buy a second one to serve as a backup to the one I have -- especially since I still have a few packs of their filters .

Anyone know if it's still available anywhere? If not, hmmm what should I move on to?

Thanks,

Sidecar Ron

Hi Ron, I use a Cona D for my wife's coffee. It does a great job. As a benefit, it doesn't use any filters, only a glass "stopper". I think Sweet Marias carrys them (among others).

They may still be available in Japan. I see vacuum pots around a lot, but have never looked very closely at them. I could send you one (shipping is a risk, though--but I could pack the box in a well-padded bigger box to help protect it) for merely the cost of the pot and shipping. If I can find one, that is...

BigBear, I'm not sure what THAT is. It sure doesn't look like my Yama, but thanks for the lead!

Rona, thanks for the offer. I have a friend who is a flight attendant for American and has the Asia route quite often. I may see what she can do. If that doesn't work, I may take you up on your kind offer.

hario (japanese) makes some pots that are very similar to yama (taiwanese). hario used to have a presence in the u.s (so. cal.), but i believe they may have closed the operation. (i believe their website used to be hariousa.com) i assume you can still find some of their pots.

if you have a problem, you may want to contact cafe balcony, a small cafe in west l.a. they serve vacuum-brewed coffee using harios. (they have about 4 on the counter.) they may be able to tell you where to get one. here is a link:

good luck
