Impractical Choice by Royal Paris Coffee Maker
Handcrafted in 24-karat gold or silver with a crystal ++ semi-precious stone base. Science & opulent design are blended by French artist Jean-Luc Rieutort to produce a modern take on the historic balancing syphon brewer, used by 19th century royalty. Or, in other words, a lavish ++ fine example of caffeine craftsmanship. The art of brewing coffee is transformed into a ceremony by an automated system using scientific processes of heat, steam & gravity. This may all sound incredibly complicated, time-consuming & impractical, ++ that’s because, quite frankly, it is. But is it worth it? Absolutely.
