Siphon Woe's

Greetings everyone...I'm experimenting with my new toy, a yama 3-cup siphon. I've watched videos and searched every thread about siphons on this beautiful site. For some reason I cannot get the water in the lower bowl to boil. It's been on the flame for about 30 minutes now with nothing. I am even pre-boiling the water in an electric kettle and pouring directly into the bowl. Can someone please correct the err of my ways?

 

Also interested in your favorite origin/region coffee on the siphon...suggestions?

 

Thank you!
