Some of the best coffee i've had was out of this pot after we burned off the paint, that's really my only down side is the first time or two the top layer of paint is burning off and creates a lot of smoke, may even make the coffee taste weird but after it's done it's great flavored coffee, looks really nice too with metal and glass pieces it's not cheaply put together

Haven't had it for long. I still use my ninja for my morning coffee
I use the syphon in the afternoon. I watch it brew takes about 14 minutes for anything to happen. Coffee is great
I was a bit nervous the first time I used it it was a breeze. Never needed the instructions again
I gave this a five rating but it does have a few things. Cleaning it is a bit tedious and I am a little concerned about the cloth filter. Seems a bit flimsy I don't know how long it will last and what to use as a replacement. I texted the company. They answered and said the filter should last a long time. They didn't give me an answer on a replacement

It's a work of art that makes great coffee in a ridiculously overcomplicated fashion. Fun to watch, but somewhat less so if what you really wanted was a cup of coffee right away. I have no regrets buying it and would do so again. That said, here's some things to watch out for. The instructions indicate to first fill the alcohol lamp only half full. Which I did, but figuring I'd add more fuel when it ran out. What the instructions SHOULD say is top it off to half full every time you use it. The lamp cracked after only a few uses. The seller "Coffee and Toy" was excellent about shipping a replacement, and I of course watched more closely what was happening with the new one. So far the new lamp, filled halfway for each use, is fine. I've been looking around for some sort of electric replacement for the lamp, and either a mesh or disposable paper filter replacement for the cloth ones. Since the cloth filters are so comparably expensive I've tried reusing them, but you can taste it after two reuses, so no. 2 stars on cleaning; since the coffee goes back into the copper boiler, I bought an extra toothbrush to use through the tiny fill hole to scrub it out.

Makes the smoothest AND strongest cup of coffee ive ever drank. The glass is fragile and i read in the comments that if you let the fuel in the burner get too low the heat will crack the tank. So ive been keeping it at level with the recommended alchohol. Amazon delivered it entirely intact. That being said, its been used daily since Christmas on the same filter and wick with zero issues. Ive never tried a balance siphon before and highly recommend it as a first buy to try.

Los materiales son de buena calidad y da buena presencia; sólo tener cuidado al manejar el depósito de cristal.
