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

This is a great product. It yields flavorful coffee and fairly quick too. We still haven't figured out the best way to clean the actual coffee pot, because it has a small bottle neck, but that's no big deal. It is fragile, so you have to keep it out of reach of little hands. Overall, we love it. It's perfect for those leisurely mornings.** Additional reviewAfter about 1.5 weeks, the top compartment cracked. So bummed. Fortunately, amazon is the best and is sending us a new one now, and we will just send this one back. I think the best advice I have is to treat this thing with the utmost caution. It's so fragile. But, we love it still.** Round 3**Be warned you should never leave this plugged in overnight when you set it for the morning. I made that mistake and woke to a mess of coffee all over my counter, the pot was burnt, and the electric maker was ruined. We love this maker enough that we replaced it again. Third time's the charm...

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....

I previously had one of these for almost a year (slightly different design and seller, but nearly identical). It died from a small amount of water that got into the burner when it was plugged in - this is something to watch out for in this model as well. I purchased this coffee maker and the first one that came leaked water out of the bottom of the pot! The burner shorted out before I ever made a cup! However, the replacement came one day later and works just fine. Hopefully, it will continue to function well.PROS:* Great tasting, strong coffee without the bitterness.* Automatic shut-off completes the brew if you forget to stop it on manual mode. (I need this! This is one reason I need an electric one rather than a stovetop or flame burner!)* Quick shipping in great packagingCONS:*Unlike the first brand I used, you cannot fill the bottom pot up all the way with water for brewing. If you do, there will not be enough room in the upper chamber for water and coffee and it will spill over. It would be better if the pot were marked with a maximum water line.* Cleanup isn't super easy - I've really found no brush that will completely clean the inside bottom of the pot. Not a big deal, though, as long as you know what to expect.* You have to be intentional with this type of coffee maker to avoid breaking the upper chamber during cleaning and storage - it is fragile!* The burner is really too hot during the second half of the brewing process (when coffee is in the upper chamber) and often boils a bit there, producing slightly less than ideal results, but still very good. My old pot had half the heating element go out early on, which actually created ideal brewing conditions! They could improve the thermostat setting on the second phase.All in all, this is really the only siphon coffee maker on Amazon at this price point. It works and I love the coffee from it. I've used all types at home in search of a strong cup including moka pot, espresso makers and french press but this makes the tastiest cup, in my opinion. If you use a good quality bean and grind it yourself, you will really enjoy the aroma and flavor.

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.

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