What you are gawking at right now is called Siphon brewing. If you dig coffee, then this is something to get you going--all the way to Lamill Coffee in the Silverlake area of Los Angeles, California.
The mad-scientist contraption is set on your table personally by the baristas and brewed in your face like an atomic punk’s dream, ending in a $20 pot of java.
Selling the best roasts is no longer enough for a coffee shop to up their prices and stay afloat. By using siphon brewing, Lamill Coffee adds style and substance to its $20/pot prices. And with a full food and completely separate coffee menu, Lamill Coffee offers everything a lover of fine oral pleasures could want without getting in trouble somehow.
