Our verdict

This siphon brewer suits those who enjoy the manual ritual and want good-looking flame-brewed coffee, though its glass and fulcrum parts call for careful handling and periodic inspection.

Overview

A Belgian-style balance siphon coffee maker for 3 to 5 espresso-size cups, using an alcohol burner, cloth filter and a counterweighted glass brewing flask on a wooden base.

  • Brews 3 to 5 espresso-size cups (500ml/17oz)
  • 304 stainless steel vacuum flask, pipette and filter head
  • Borosilicate glass brewing flask with medical grade silicone seals
  • Includes cloth filter, scoop and measuring cup

Who it's for

Coffee enthusiasts and gift buyers wanting a tabletop siphon brewing experience are the fit. It is not for anyone wanting a hands-off automatic brewer or heavy daily use without periodically checking the parts.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Produces clean, flavorful coffee via cloth filter
  • Visually engaging brewing process
  • Cloth filter reusable across many brews
Cons
  • Alcohol burner has a noticeable odor while lit
  • Brewing takes longer than automatic machines
  • One long-term reliability failure reported

Performance notes

The alcohol burner gives off a noticeable smell while lit, and one reviewer flagged that after roughly two years and fewer than five uses, the siphon no longer seated securely in the metal fulcrum, causing it to pop loose during brewing.
