    they actually made normal electric coffee brewers out of this concept! i have one, it's called the SunBeam Coffee Master, they were in production in the 1940s, when their only real competition was percolators, and these had the distinct advantage that the coffee is never boiled by the heating element, so it tastes WAY better than a percolator.
    you fill the bottom with water, put your grounds in the top, flip the switch, it simply boils once to go up, the switch senses the overheating and flips off thanks to a bimetallic strip, then it slowly flushes back down as brewed coffee. take the top part with all the used grounds off, and serve it from the pot.
    i got it because i love coffee and it was a cute little novelty for like $15 at a garage sale, it has a bit of a learning curve but once you figure it out it's really easy to use and actually makes some of the best coffee I've ever had

      Kinda.
      Percolators pump the water up the tube with steam bubbles in the tube, and immediately feeds the coffee back down into the boiling chamber after percolation.
      It's that last step that causes the *distinctive* taste of percolated coffee, and the one-way valve in this setup prevents this from occurring.

    I genuinely love the smoothness of this brewing method which is really satisfying. It works like a mix between french press and moka pot, but it's quite enjoyable to watch and drink. The result ends up being fairly low on the alkaline bitterness, though it could turn out to be somewhat overly acidic. Not my favorite (which is the Chemex pour-over) but quite close. Works really well with certain beans (my favorite being Ethiopian ones)

      Compared to a drip coffee maker, this allows you to control how long the water is in contact with the grounds. It's much closer to a french press, except that the water passes through a proper filter so you don't get any grounds in your cup, and it stays hotter. The only downside is that it might be TOO hot, but it's still not as bad as a percolator because the coffee-water isn't being heated directly.

      It's hard to say my dad bought it in the 2000s from eBay. I am not sure of the brand. It could be Bloomfield or NICRO. He was mostly interested in Revere Ware and art Deco. So we have a lot of metal stuff with the lines and stuff either bakelite handles or walnut. I have more copper pans then a French kitchen. Used to be cheap because folks where given the pots and pans when they got married and just put them away still new in boxes and forget about them. I am sure they have risen in value.

    My family has been brewing coffee with Vaculator pots since the 1930s. I have found them on the Web. I was experimenting with very finely ground espresso coffee, which slowed both the water lift and suck-back process. Eventually, the holes in the filter became clogged. I left the set-up on the stove and found that only part of the coffee had been pulled down. I reheated it and gave it a second suck. No dice. I let the pot cool to warm and set it into a bowl of cool water. Suddenly, the pot imploded, spraying dilute coffee all over the kitchen. No glass, that stayed in the bowl. A remarkable amount of suction. Now I change and wash the filter frequently. It makes the process faster.

    I'm using this, just using alcohol burner. You need to mix it before removing the heat so that the grounds collect on the filter and make it easier to remove. Also the heat must be enough so water stays up but not boiling. Generally around a minute is enough for it to be done. Tastes better than normal coffee because the cloth filter does a bitter job of removing some acids n bitterness.

      I'm more of a tea person by myself, but if I ever get seriously into coffee again when I will eventually have my own home, I will get a moka pot for myself, not a fancy coffee machine even if I can afford it, honestly. It's not only cheaper, but also sturdier, no other consumable item used other than the grounded coffee itself and we can buy actual Bialetti brand spare parts in supermarkets where I live.

    The larger classic Restaurant/ Diner version that works on the same principle was called a, " VACUTAINER " Coffee Brewer with carafe. Mine didn't have a paper filter,, it used a ceramic spring-loaded plug with small fluting, it rested on a rubber gasket between the upper and lower vessel. The directions suggested adding the measure of coffee to the upper chamber prior to starting the brew cycle on a hotplate. The average brewing time was about 12 minutes. I still have one from the late 1940's or early 1950's. A garage sale purchase many years ago.
