This is the most high tech and most expensive Coffee Maker I ever seen. It is called the Japanese siphon bar priced at $20,000. It has brass-trimmed halogen heating elements, glass globes and bamboo paddles, making coffee at the Blue Bottle Café in San Francisco. It will take about 45 to 90 seconds only to brew the perfect cup of coffee. The café has the only halogen-powered model in United States. Check out how this thing works out after the jump.

“The whirlpool, it messes with your mind,” said Mr. Freeman, who practiced stirring plain water for months to develop muscle memory before he brewed his first cup of siphon coffee. “There’s no way to rush it.” The key to a cup of siphon coffee is the temperature variation, the flavor changes as the temperature changes. The flavor is “kaleidoscopic,” says Mr. Freeman.
