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....
