Royal Siphon Coffee Maker - whats the brew-haha with syphon coffee makers

Whats that contraption --- "A siphon coffee maker"

What else does it do?

You might remember this fun exchange from the movie "The Bucket List," when Morgan Freeman reacts in wonder at Jack Nicholson's elaborate coffee set up. A Siphon Coffee maker and Kopi Luwak together show off Nicholsons character's elaborate tastes.

"The Most expensive coffee in the world," he says. "I know, you wouldnt get me drinking that crap, Im more the Instant coffee type"

Well, this comical exchange piques my interest so I started research. I am a coffee fanatic and I have to admit the system was unknown to me.

Turns out they are also called "vacpots" which wasnt unknown to me. Some of the top coffee authorities in the world, contend that siphon coffee making produces the best cup of joe to be had.

Well, I'm sold! I like a real cup of coffee. I grind my beans (One day I hope to roast them - seriously!) and use a french press. It's okay but I want it hotter!

Well, I will bookmark this and invest in it - and settle down for a winter with some good coffee!

Thanks a million$$$$!
