[Factory Store] QUEEN SENSE Patented Siphon/Syphon Coffee Maker Electric Vacuum Coffee Pot CM0601 (Siphon Coffee Maker)

Buy this now! How is this quality even possible at this price? Who knows! I’ve used siphon coffee makers for years and this unit is an absolute beast. Great cup color, limited bitterness. Fast and efficient and now I can leave the open flame and delicate glass behind for this thick glass and great functionality. For 40 bucks ignore the people saying it’s a hard method, it may not be a plastic drip coffee maker and that’s exactly what I wanted no plastic touching my hot water, the keep warm function is more of a reheat function but I like that too, perfect for my morning cup with my wife, definitely not for serving a crowd but we love the methodical nature and attention to detail this brewer demands, don’t clean it with soap either, comes with a nice bottle brush but if it only ever sees coffee don’t feel the need to get it spotless. Don’t get the base wet! That’s the only trick and your machine will last you ages. For 40 it’s a no brainer! Fantastic simple and beautiful.

Siphon/vacuum Coffee is so much better than any other that I think it is in a class by itself. I like this Coffeemaker because it is electric, easy to use, and makes wonderful, smooth and flavorful coffee. Because it is glass, you can’t bang it around. You need to handle it with Care and also not get the heating element wet. I love it, better than espresso or French press or drip or pour over.

Really works well. Took me a bit of research to figure out how much coffee to use for a pot of water. Turns out that if you fill the bottom to the "3 cup" mark, that is 16 ounces (478g) water, and the Official™ "optimal coffee to water ratio" of 1:16 turns that into 1 ounce (by weight, 29.9 grams) of coffee, which, if you are lazy, is about 1/2 cup (by volume), or, if you are using the included spoon, 4 spoons full. Medium grind. Medium to dark roast. If you like hellishly strong coffee, add more grounds. So you put the top flask in the plastic stand and add the coffee, fill the carafe to the 3 cup mark, put it on the heater pad, and press ON and BOIL. About 6-8 minutes later, the machine beeps to indicate that the water is boiling. Put the flask into the carafe and press down pretty firmly (carefully), and hit the BREW button. Select 120 seconds if you haven't already, by pressing brew repeatedly until 120 shows in the display. (Note: do not put the plastic stand on top of the flask while brewing. It might melt!) Now watch the show: Hot water is forced up into the top part (give it a good stir to get all the coffee grounds mixed in, not floating on top), and 120 seconds later, the machine switches off, and the coffee is sucked back down into the carafe. Now the fun part. Separate the top flask from the bottom carafe super-carefully, because it's a bit tight and also hot, and put the flask back into the plastic stand. Enjoy your coffee. You will have gotten 16 US Fluid Ounces of the best coffee you've had in a long time! That's enough for two mugs full or 3-4 dainty cups. You will need very little sweetener, and almost no cream. (I use about 1/2 TBSP of 2% milk) The coffee is moderately strong and clear of sediment and bitterness, so adding cream makes it into coffee-flavored hot milk. Enjoy. (Try it black. it's good enough to stand on its own.) Now the not-so-fun part: Cleaning. Rinse the carafe (bottom part), being careful not to get the plastic bottom of the carafe wet. Put the carafe back on the heating pad. Now thoroughly rinse the top flask and use a spoon to get the coffee grounds out. Once that's pretty clean, you have to get the filter out to thoroughly rinse it. Pull on the chain until the claw clasp is released from the bottom edge of the flask tube, and then, get in there with your hand and pull out the filter assembly. This is tricky because the claw will get hung up on the rubber stopper. Eventually you'll get it out, and can rinse the cloth filter, and set it aside while you use a sponge and a tiny drop of dish soap to clean the flask (soap needed to get the coffee oils off the flask). Rinse well to get rid of the soap. (You probably don't want to use soap on the cloth filter, for fear that the soap will remain and contaminate the coffee.) Now replace the filter, which is a genuine struggle! I found that the chain is just a bit too short. I ended up using pliers to grab and pull the chain out, and stretch the spring just a little, and then I could use my fingers to pull the chain and re-attach the claw to the edge of the flask spout. A genuine difficult time which could be vastly improved on by adding a few more links to the chain. Make sure the filter is properly in place, and put it on the stand until everything is dry, then put the flask back into the carafe and put the plastic stand back on top to keep dust out of the flask. All told, it takes about 10 minutes to brew the coffee, and about 5 minutes to clean and put away the machine. Is it worth the effort? In my opinion, this is the best cuppa I have had. (Pour-over can be almost as good, and can be a lot less effort.) It is a beautiful machine, and performance art. As of this writing, the cost is about $40, and therefore a bargain.

It's a good Vacuum coffee brewer. I like the electric base because it's small and easy to move around, while also being fast to brew. Don't expect more than 1 1/2 to 2 cups (U.S. mugs) Previously I had a stovetop brewer, (stopped working,) this feels faster and doesn't feel like it takes much space because you can just put it on the counter when you want. The stovetop one kept taking a burner on the stove when it wasn't in use and wasn't put away yet.

I was initially very pleased with this coffee maker. The color of the base and other plastic parts is actually a very dark brown instead of black, but I wasn't too upset by this. It worked great initially and was very easy to use. A big plus for me was that it had both automatic and manual modes, something that is conspicuously missing from more expensive models like the KitchenAid KCM0812OB. However, after about a week of regular use (I usually made a pot each day) the bottom vessel developed a leak somewhere around the heating element. I had actually been very careful about rinsing and drying both vessels immediately after use because of some warnings from other reviewers. Nevertheless it was completely unusable by the second week of owning it, so I ordered a replacement through Amazon. The replacement unit also worked great until about the second week of use. This time, the upper vessel's glass stem cracked in two when I was removing it from the bottom vessel. I wouldn't say I was being rough with it at all, and I had only ever hand-washed it, so I was very disappointed when it broke. This time I am returning the unit for a refund. I would not recommend this particular model to anybody.

Hands down, the better way to brew coffee. This vacuum, siphon brewer is made in China and I do not like that fact. But what this is is an upgraded Klarstein vacuum, siphon brewer. I'm guessing that Klarstein sold the design to QueenSense. With that out of the way, I owned this product for many years and I almost cried when the bottom part of the fused glass handle cracked, making the brewer unusable. After searching for another copy, it became clear that there were none available, anywhere. So, 2 years later, I find on Amazon the QueenSense model. I am/was overjoyed and I bought 2 of them. The fact that after brewing, you have to wiggle the top portion, the reservoir, out of the pot is a bit of a hassle...because the reservoir is hot, well I can live with that... This design does really make an excellent, monstrously great cup of coffee. The price, honestly, cheap for what you get. This QueenSense design does have a couple of upgrades to the original Klarstein design, the top of the pot, the spout, is thicker glass and the connector, that electrical connection between the base of the unit and the corresponding connector on the bottom of the pot is improved. In closing, overall, a love - hate circumstance, I am overjoyed to see the vacuum, siphon design AGAIN AVAILABLE, but I do hate that this coffee brewer is made in China....

It's a cheap piece of Chinese junk and works like a cheap piece of Chinese junk

I love these had to klardtein snd the last one I bought from had European electric plug. It could not be converted to out plug without a huge job of an electrician, a waste of $150.00 eBay. So klarstrin compsny is gone, but I bought two queen sense and they for me have been great. Just treat it delicately z I adore syphon coffee!
