The Hourglass Coffee Maker is a simplistic product, focusing on design. But lets look at the brewing process.
The concept of the Hourglass is simple. You put grounds to soak in the bottom, then you wait 12 hours and flip it to filter your coffee into the empty chamber.
But it’s not that simple.
The system uses cold brewing, meaning that you load system with grounds and water before waiting 12+ hours to brew. Once it’s brewed and you do the flippy part, you still don’t have coffee. You have something called “coffee extract.” So you heat some water and add two shots of the extract. And then you finally have coffee.
On the plus side, the system does promise to brew coffee with far lower acid content than traditional methods. In case you’re interested, the Hourglass Coffee Maker goes for $70.
