Kitchenaid siphon coffee maker review. In fact it s no more complicated to use than a conventional coffee maker though the cleaning is certainly more. The kitchenaid siphon coffee brewer has the sturdy build of a professional coffee machine the ethereal results of a french press and the clean up requirements of a new born. Performance comparison the kitchenaid siphon s overall score was below average in our testing mostly because of its difficult to clean design and average tasting brew. Aside from the lack of a thermal carafe other attributes of the kitchenaid siphon brewer will make you think twice about using it as your daily coffee maker.
Again the results might not be everyone s cup of ermmmm coffee but if you re into vibrant tasting brew then you ll have met your soul mate. The kitchenaid siphon is the most aesthetically charismatic of the coffee makers we tested but its difficult to clean design can be a bit of a drag in the long run. Originally vacuum pots were complicated mechanisms made with balance beams fragile blown glass receptacles alcohol burners and the like that could only make 8 ounces or less of coffee at a time. Compared to the butane burners and halogen bulbs that power most vacuum pots kitchenaid s siphon is shockingly simple.
The kitchenaid siphon coffee brewer is electric and automated. Kitchenaid however aims to change that.
