Overview
A vacuum siphon brewer with a rose gold finish and wood base, the Diguo Belgian Balance Syphon Coffee Maker brews about 500ml (17 oz), roughly 3 to 5 espresso cups, using an alcohol burner and a reusable cloth filter.
- 500ml/17oz capacity, 3 to 5 espresso cups
- 304 stainless steel and borosilicate glass build
- Reusable cloth filter included
- Includes coffee scoop and water measuring cup
Who it's for
Suits coffee enthusiasts who enjoy a slow, hands-on brewing process and want a striking piece for the counter, along with anyone gifting someone who already likes specialty coffee. Not a fit for anyone who wants coffee quickly or needs to brew for more than two or three people at once.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers repeatedly describe it as a conversation piece that also brews genuinely smooth, low-bitterness coffee, with several saying friends ask for coffee just to watch it work. Common notes include the alcohol burner fuel not being included, a yield of only about 1.5 to 2.5 cups per brew, and the cloth filter being more of a chore to wash than a paper one, though it's reusable for months.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Produces notably smooth, low-bitterness coffee
- Rose gold and wood design doubles as a display piece
- Reusable cloth filter lasts for months
- Brewing takes 8 to 15 minutes hands-on
- Burner fuel sold separately, not included
- Yields only about 1.5 to 2.5 cups per brew
Performance notes
The lower flask heats over an open alcohol flame until pressure pushes the water up through a tube into the upper chamber holding the grounds. Removing the flame lets the brewed coffee filter back down through a reusable cloth filter into the lower flask. The whole cycle, from lighting the burner to a finished cup, takes reviewers roughly 8 to 15 minutes.
