Fun to watch in action
The Electric Siphon Coffee Maker makes delicious coffee. It is a joy to watch as it works. I am a bean grinder, a coffee snob and kinda OCD about procedures and instructions. Their instructions were very good. The only thing I did was use a grind between pour over and espresso and stuck to their recommended measure (14g). The only difficulty is in filling the basket. It's just an awkward target and easy to spill grounds. I am still experimenting with the recipe to my taste. FYI: The temp display is in Centigrade and I haven't read anyway to change it to Fahrenheit. The brew time is preset for 1, 2 or 3 minutes. I have found it awkward to use the power switch to adjust the brew time. Although it is very stylish, I really like the functional hourglass shape of the carafe, the blacked-out but illuminated base feels like it's missing something when you're used to buttons and switches. It's all part of an adjustment and the brewer is worth it. It's a great product at an affordable great price. ... show more

NOT EVEN A FULL CUP OF COFFEE
i am not sure what cup size they were using to call it a one cup coffee maker. For my regular coffee cup it is half a cup of BAD and BITTER coffee. Nothing like pour over or even my regular coffee maker.

Requires vigilance to keep the top from popping out during brewing.
I had great hopes for this coffee maker due to my enjoyment of siphoned coffee and the price of this item. I do get a good cup of coffee. However, when the water has come to a boil and is now in the brewing basket, the top pops off, spurting out coffee. The only way to prevent this is to stand at the coffee maker and hold the top tightly in place. Only one time have I been able to achieve the seal and prevent this occurrence. For now I’m using it and just viewing this extra step which takes about 2 minutes as worth it for the taste of the coffee. ... show more

Some good - Some issues
USAGE: 3 things. The center piece that is inserted into the carafe, well, on the top there is a diagram of Lock and Unlock. Locking the center piece is accomplished by aligning the internal tabs and then turning the center piece clockwise. The diagram on the top shows that you turn the center piece counter clockwise, the diagram is backwards. Secondly, either fill to the Max line and insert a small piece of paper towel into the pour spout OR fill the carafe slightly below the Max line. At the Max line, the heating element boils water so vigorously that at the Max line, water will boil/splash out of the spout. So, the Max water is like 7.5 oz... Thirdly, you are going to want a medium grind. If your grind is too fine, inside the stainless steel basket, after brewing, you get some coffee mud. A bit of a hassle to clean. I use a straw brush to clean inside the basket. If you look up straws, the rigid type, they generally provide you with a cylindrical bristle brush that is like a half an inch wide and you get like three inches of bristle from top to bottom. That's great for cleaning inside the basket.... BREW Quality: Pretty good. Does a better job, less bitter brew than my Italian Espresso, stove top brewer. COST: The unit is $10 over-priced. CONCLUSION: I like the unit. But, I'm not raving. I wanted to buy ANOTHER Klarstein Vacuum/Siphon Brewer, because the pot cracked, BUT Klarstein no more, just part of the past now. The Better Chef Siphon Coffee Maker IS the Slightly Above Average Chef Siphon Coffee Maker... ... show more

Delicious Siphon Coffee but design has a fatal flaw that is fortunately easy to fix
I’m lowering my rating from 5 to 4 stars because of a fatal design flaw I discovered in this product, which I’ll go into below. When fixed my rating returns to 5 but customers should not have to do this themselves, the manufacturer should’ve known better. I’m somewhat of a coffee snob. I roast my own beans and have a Pavoni lever espresso machine I use (or used to use) every morning, but my favorite coffee is siphon or vacuum brewed because it truly has the best flavor. Unfortunately, making it that way takes considerable time and, because I like to make my coffee a cup at a time, makes more than I want, plus, it take a while to clean up after. This device makes it a cup at a time and the coffee it brews is frankly superior in quality to any I’ve gotten out of any other siphon brewer, including my Yama. On the plus side, fill it with water, add coffee to the basket, assemble it, turn it on, and depending on how long you set it to steep, in about five minutes you’ll have an outstanding cup of coffee, about as good as you’re going to get from whatever beans you use (yes, you have to use good beans to get good coffee), and that’s not hyperbole. When done, immediately run the basket under cold water so you can handle it, dump the grounds, give it a rinse, then rinse the carafe and you’re good to go for the next cup. It’s not that difficult to clean. Issues I encountered: The lock, unlock icons on the lid give you the impression unlocked is locked & vice versa - as a result the first time I used it the lid popped off spoiling my first attempt. Didn’t make that mistake again. The fill line on the side of the carafe is small and difficult to see, however, once you fix it (see below) you can pretty much ignore it. The basket is small and difficult to fill. I’ve repurposed a V-60 coffee brewer as a funnel and that works fine, but you’ll need something to help you load the basket. They could’ve made it wider and more squatty and it would’ve been easier to fill and just as effective. The fatal flaw is with the top of the coffee basket. Instead of making it solid, it’s a screen. Why this is a problem is while it’s great for allowing the coffee to enter the upper chamber to steep, when the lower heat shuts off and the coffee siphons back down, as soon as the level goes below the top of the basket, WHOOSH, air rushes thru the grounds rapidly, killing the vacuum and as a result the rest of the coffee sits in the neck of the upper chamber because the lower pot no longer has low air pressure, which is ridiculous, then you have to wait for it to drain like a drip / pour over, and that can take a while. This is absurd as it defeats the entire purpose of the vacuum, which is the whole point of these brewers. ALL the coffee should rapidly siphon into the lower chamber with a powerful SUCK action, followed by some bubbles until the pressure equalizes, and this will happen after you fix it. Shape a piece of aluminum foil to fit in the lid of the basket to block the screen and voila, it’ll work as intended. The coffee enters the upper chamber thru the sides of the basket instead of the top (taking longer, but that’s a good thing), and when the heat shuts off it rapidly drains all the way to the bottom thru the sides of the basked as it should. You can also now ignore the “Max” line and make a bigger cup. The piece of foil gets pressed into the top of the basket and doesn’t fall out between cups. Mine hasn’t yet anyway. Nobody should have to do this though and I’m surprised it’s being sold with this issue. Doesn’t anyone test these appliances before they’re sold to the public? ... show more

Almost perfect, what a great design.
Superb. Can't imagine how they thought of so many details and got them just right. So easy: I leave it set at 3 minutes soak time, but changing that is just a button push. Not confusing, just push the button and wait for 4 minutes and drink coffee. Easy to clean up, easy to set up. Amazing. Only thing I can't do - and I'm not taking off any points for this, is that I can't set it up with one of those timed outlet timers to go off in the morning, because I have to actually push the button to turn it on. But that's not a big deal - I set it up at night, in the morning push the button, take a shower, and coffee ready for me. All timing works impeccably : Push the start button, about a minute and a half later the water goes up, 3 minutes later coffee comes down, it keeps it warm for 30 minutes. And I love siphone coffee. ... show more

Routinely Explodes! LITERALLY!
Used it 5 times, it's exploded twice. Thought it was my fault the first time, realized it is a boneheaded design flaw the second time. The lid locks into a capture ring around the top of the carafe to hold it in place during the boiling phase. This retaining ring is made of plastic, for crying out loud. And there are no other secondary safety clasps, clamps, or locks to hold this in place once it becomes a pressure cooker.... just one thin ring of plastic. As the carafe heats up, the retaining ring starts to get soft enough that it pops off the top when under the pressure of normal operation. And by "Pops off" I mean it loudly and violently explodes, spraying hot liquid EVERYWHERE! This has lead to me spending hours, both times, cleaning up the kitchen from coffee stains on the floor, the counter tops, the cabinets, and the freaking ceiling! The ONLY thing this is good for is as a booby trap. The perfect gift for your enemies ... show more
