Black Ivory Coffee Brewer

You want a safe fuel that will burn at a high temperature, a methanol/ethanol spirit with a percentage of at least 95% alcohol is suggested. Anything lower than this and it will take a very long time for the water to heat up. Using this fuel it should take about 4 to 5 minutes. This fuel can be found at most paint or hardware stores.

Please do not use fuel that would go into a Tikki torch for example as this will result in the development of a very dirty flame with soot in addition to a long heating period.

The number of cups or ounces brewed really depends on a variety of factors such as:
1) grind size (how coarse or fine)
2) type of brewer (espresso, mocha pot, siphon, pour-over, etc)
3) how strong/concentrated you prefer your cup of Black Ivory Coffee (this will affect the water to ground bean ratio)

Using the Black Ivory Coffee siphon one can brew around 10.5 ounces. A mocha pot would brew around 8.5 ounces because the ratio of bean to water is less. In a French Press if you like your concentration somewhat strong I would estimate around 15.4 ounces. For a pour-over, I estimate a 1:16.5 ground coffee to water ratio hence 19.5 ounces.
