Royal Siphon Coffee Maker - what's the brew-haha with syphon coffee makers

Updated on June 9, 2011

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 wouldn't 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 wasn't 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.
