Above is a glass coil Ryman from GlassChem has given me to experiment with. It didn't work well because it was chipped. Therefore, I used plastic tubing that I bought on ebay a few days ago and made a video out of it. I tried out various thicknesses of the tubes, lengths and angles to find out what is most suitable one for my design. The movement of the liquid is really mesmerising, which made me want to create this "impossible" design even more. I have used a mixture of real coffee to achieve the colour, and strained it so it's a smooth consistency - just like in the siphon coffee method.
