The Mk. I Vacuum Percolator

Description

And this, my dear, is a rather peculiar piece of equipment. Not many know that Doctor Binsenkraut not only was a great scientist and complete monster, but also a collector of rare coffee beans and a caffeine addict. His brewing apparatus was befitting of a man of his standing, using scientific principles to extract the full flavour, but none of the bitterness associated with ordinary coffee. Untypical for Doctor Binsenkraut's inventions, this one doesn't include mass murder, torture or torrential hails of assorted waterfowl.

In this world, you're looking at a working vacuum siphon coffee maker made from laboratory glassware and copper plumbing. It runs with an alcohol burner, independent of the power grid.

Nice. Vac coffee makers are so definitely steampunk, in all their incarnations. And make the best coffee :-D Although my personal preference is for the drug solution to never come in contact with anything but glass (no metals, no paper filters). But of course the copper looks way cool.
