Pouring over the vacuum coffee maker

Coffee gadgets come and go, but the vacuum coffee maker seems here to stay.

Insert a filter, add your grounds to the tubular device, then pour in hot water. After a few minutes, hold the tube over your cup and press down – voila, great-tasting coffee!

Fans tout the vacuum coffee maker’s ability to produce low-acid brews while extracting every last aromatic compound. But what do you think?
