I think about buying that siphon. I was looking for a video which shows how that thing is cleaned, so thank you for filming the whole process! I actually thought that cleaning would be even more burdensome and more time consuming, so a nice surprise here (yes, it takes time but is less diffucult than expected).

This looks like a well-made machine. I had a Bodum Santos, which looked cool, but was made of plastic. Over several years, the glues holding the internal components in the base began to crack, allowing water into the electrical area. I currently use a glass syphon over a halogen burner (the cheaper Chinese model) but it takes about fifteen minutes to make around two cups.

I had tried the Bodum Santos coffee maker back in 2002. Due to issues with the electronics I ended up returning it. When it worked right it made a fantastic cup of coffee. I have no doubt this KitchenAid brewer does as well. Considering I start just about every morning with coffee I would find this brewer too much of a hassle to clean every day. I love my Technivorm Moccamaster drip brewer. Makes great coffee and cleanup is far easier.

I have 2 Sunbeam vacuum pots from the 1950's just like the one my parents used every morning.They has two temps. Hi for boiling and making the water go up in the top to brew the coffee and a keep warm temp. As soon as the water boils the switch flips down to the keep warm temp. You have to unplug it to just turn it off. When not making coffee the bottom can make boiling water pretty fast. I guess it hasn't been a hassle to clean it for me as I have a garbage disposal and I just rinse the grounds down it. It has a cloth filter but the filter is held in a frame work so those string things are not needed. In one of the pots there is a spring that holds the filter down when you put the rod down the tube and hook the little 90 degree bent end of the rod on the bottom of the tube, the other model has a rod that runs to the bottom of the pot where there is threaded stem it screws onto to hold the filter down when the water comes up into the top. I should use it more often. I use a single cup pod brewer most of the time now.

We had one of those Sunbeam pots when I was growing up. I've become tired of the expense of K-Cups so I wondered if these vacuum pots still existed and discovered the KitchenAid but was dismayed to find out that once it made the coffee it had no setting for keeping it warm. I found vintage Sunbeams, Corys and GE pots for sale on EBay and decided to buy a GE because they're glass so you can watch the process as it happens and not have any metallic taste. The little red button that activates the burner seems to be kind of iffy, it tends to want to pop out to the warming mode so I have to watch it to make sure the burner stays on high so the brewing can happen. Other than that it seems to work fine and makes great coffee so I'm hoping it continues to work. It sure adds a bit of 1940's flair to the kitchen. If I had it to do over again though I'd buy the KitchenAid, it's not as visually interesting but probably more reliable.

+Jim Miller The cup i have in the video is very flavorful, it not as dark because it was a lighter roast. If you want darker looking coffee, you can just add more coffee / use a darker roast. Maybe a moka pot would be a better option if you like more of a espresso. You can skip the cloth filter, it will just have more grit / sediment. You can avoid the grit by using a coarser grind. It will taste more like a french press.

I like this coffee machine because it's fast. I wish it had a keep warm setting and a longer handle on ths brewing unit. I use a thermos for whats left. The coffee tastes a little better than the Sunbeam C50 makes to my taste. Not sure why. The Sunbeam takes longer too. Clean up.... Well it does take longer but I like the coffee better so I'll put up with it. Just not everyday. It's a treat so I'll put up with it. All in all I like the coffee it makes so I'll put up with the 5 minutes it takes to clean it.

Well, let me tell you my story. I have one of those for about 5 years now... I LOVE it, coffee is delicious but... yes, there is a but... no more a BUT... there is problem with this plus the fact that the service from the company is very poor... it was very unpleasant and still is to this day. Please note that I take great care on my appliances. I have some for 35 years and they still work perfectly and are looking like new. I would send you a picture of the carafe and the top part and, besides the broken handle and etc... my coffee machine looks like new. Just few months after buying the machine, the handle of the top part broke, leaving just an ugly and very hot metal bar... I almost dropped the top part when it broke and just caught it before it fell to the floor... ... burning my hands.. Contacting the company and arguing with them was very unpleasant. Then they reluctantly sent me another top part. Everything went well... at least for another few months, until the handle broke again the exact same way. Called again, argue, and they refused to replace it, flatly, even though I had this carafe for only few months. So now, I have to wrap a paper towel around the metal part to not burn myself while taking the top part off the bottom part after the brewing. Then, it started to collapse... plastic parts under the top part started to break down, parts of that "plastic/bakelite/whatever they name it" were just breaking down with parts of the plastic falling in the coffee (hmmm lots of parts words in this sentence). Then, I lost one of the magnet while taking the top part off the bottom part and had to dish it in the coffee pot. And the plastic is still falling, bit by bit, and I find little parts of that plastic in my cups of coffee. The worst is that now, the seal isn't as tight anymore and it makes a loud whistling sound while brewing and, obviously, the pressure is lesser... still working for the moment... but for how long. It doesn't make the strong flush back into the carafe anymore, I find it unacceptable that a coffee syphon machine of that price just break down like this... I paid $300 plus tax for that darn thing 5 years ago. I am very sad and hope it will last as I love it but... ... KitchenAid are now renown for their bad warranty service response and I think it is not OK mostly as their appliances are really not cheap. Nice attractive designs, I agree but... ... How yours stand it, Hungry Ferret?

Do you have to boil the cloth filter every time you use it? Not being able to submerge the carafe, or clean it out entirely because of the lip is a no go for me and disqualifies this machine. Also, the pain in the ass of having to tie a string on the cloth filter is drudgery at best. The cloth filter will not last very many times before it starts to deteriorate, I'm sure. Have you tried using just the metal filter, and see if it works without the cloth one?

One of the nice things about both my brewers is that they require no cloth filter. I don't find that they are hard to clean, though they take a little practice to perfect the method. I say don't waste your money ( 180 bucks!!). go to eBay or search hard at a thrift store, spend less and enjoy the same if not better build quality.

The problem with old Sunbeams is that many are out of adjustment and either burn the coffee or under-brew it. I have bought several on eBay. Only one worked correctly. It gets expensive bying several to get one that works. BTW, with the KitchenAid, you can leave the cloth off the filter if you want. There is a screen filter there that filters as good as the Sunbeam screen.

In a solid cup the coffee would appear black. The coffee is in a see through cup so you can see the grit and oil.

I think for a machine this expensive, the filter is poorly designed. How about a glass rod like the siphons from the 40's-50's?

Adding the grounds before the water fills the upper carafe is silly. It over extracts the grounds and you cant control the extraction time. Useless

Good video, with the minor exception of the term "grinds", pertaining to the ground coffee. "Grinds" is what a grinder does. "Grounds" is what the grinder produces. Nit picking, I know...just saying..
