This 24-carat gold, semi-precious, syphon brewer is quite possibly the world’s most extravagant coffee maker Only eight of these Royal Coffee Makers are produced by hand each month by Royal Paris, with each numbered machine taking more than 50 hours of painstaking workmanship. Working alongside a team of skilled sculptors, metallurgists and engineers, French artist Jean-Luc Rieutort has recreated the historic balancing syphon used by royalty in the 1800s. The art of brewing coffee has been turned into a ceremony; ground coffee is first placed in the fine Baccarat crystal carafe, hot water poured into the boiler pot and the Baccarat burner vase, lit. Next, the fully automated system allows heat, steam and gravity to brew the coffee in the crystal Baccarat vase. Brewed at the perfect temperature with no artificial filters, and nowhere for the aromatic oils to escape, the resulting brew is crystal clear with unrivalled aroma and flavour. It is also the only coffee maker that allows for customised coffee or tea with the ability to add liqueurs and spices before the brew.
“It’s taken us more than three years of research and development to produce this entirely unique coffee maker,”
says Maria Tindemans from Royal Paris.
“This luxury coffee machine is an elegant echo of the opulent age of salon coffees when only the best coffee was reserved for the rich and famous. Every minute process is an exact science and every coffee made is unlike anything you’ll ever taste.”
Choose from 24-karat gold, copper or silver options, and a semi-precious black obsidian, azurite or malachite base, with or without your engraved initials, company name, or family crest.
