CoffeeKid - The Vacuum Brewer FAQ (#)

  „It uses an internal coil heating element driven by electricity. The venerable Cona model from Britain still uses a cloth wick, as do many of the Hario and Tayli lines of vac pots. Some Hario models use a copper wick that provides two "jets" of flame to heat the bottom vessel. Sunbeam and Cory models used internal heating elements tied in with heat sensitive coils for knowing when to reduce or shut off the electricity for their automated functions.“

A Vac Pot Primer (INeedCoffee.com)

  „Not enough to make them even faddish yet, but enough to make them relatively easy to find and add to your household. Companies like Bodum, Cona, Hario, Tayli and Yama all make vacuum brewers today, and some are pretty economical (Yama models can be had for $35 new, Bodum Santos models for $35-40). They come either ready for your stovetop, or self-contained with alcohol or gas burners. They come in a variety of sizes, from 1 cup models from Hario (that makes 8 ounces) to 8 cup models from Cona.“

CoffeeKid - Are Vacuum Brewers Different?

  „A few years ago I tried a blind taste test - I made about 20 ounces of coffee on the stove using a glass 5 cup Silex I own, and I used a cloth filter. I made 20 ounces of brew in a 5 cupper Hario Nouveau and the butane burner, and a cloth filter. Same stock of coffee, same grind, same kick up time, same brew time, same kick down time, as much the "same" as I could make it. I left the room and had my spouse pour me a cup from each.“

BBC - Antiques - Collectors guides - Teapots, coffee pots and chocolate pots

  „The shapes of tea and coffee pots can help with dating them, but because many 18th-century styles were repeated in the 19th and 20th centuries you need to check the marks on the base to tell whether the piece is a later reproduction. There is nothing wrong with buying, say, a 19th-century coffee pot in an 18th-century style, provided the marks are correct for the date it was made and the pot is priced as a reproduction.“
