Yet another Japanese video where they are brewing vacuum coffee with a halogen bulb.  I believe these can be found in the US by Hario but they seem pretty hard to come by.  Most places that offer them online are sold-out or have limited quantities of these Hario Siphon Halogen heaters.  This may be something that changes as they become more popular, more are sure to be imported.  They are pricey though, in the neighborhood of $400 from what I’m seeing.  Many will argue they aren’t necessary, true, but they do have the “cool” factor that appeals to many.  I like the idea of being able to use them at your work since you would not need a stove or an open flame to heat your vacuum coffee maker.

I’ve never seen anything like that before. What a strange contraption… but like you said, if you don’t need to use an open flame, they would be the talk of your workplace.
