    I think this is my favorite of all time. I’m guessing the water goes in the glass jar and the coffee goes into the top of the other part.

    This coffee maker is actually available to buy! More about it:

    https://www.thekitchn.com/the-most-over-t-164110

    Apparently we were wrong about how it works:

    The classic copper model, shown above, is only (drumrollā€¦) $595. If you are, you know, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, thereā€™s a 24-karat gold version with demitasse cups, a serving tray, and gold spoons for $1,995. Butler not included.

    All joking aside, whatā€™s the appeal of this contraption? Well, itā€™s mainly about showmanship. This type of coffee maker is meant to wow dinner guests as it siphons perfect-temperature water from the metal canister into the glass carafe, where it mixes with the grounds, goes through a gold filter, and pours out of the spout.

    Coffee made this way is supposed to have superior purity of flavor, with no bitterness. The only thing that made us pause and nod in all seriousness was the fact that you can add flavorings to the carafeā€”liqueur, chocolate, etc.ā€”and create a flavored coffee during the brewing process.
