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
- Produces clean, flavorful coffee via cloth filter
- Visually engaging brewing process
- Cloth filter reusable across many brews
- 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.
