When did coffee get so complicated? First there's the $20,000 siphon bar and now the Brugo travel mug, above. The latter has a two-chamber system: most of the coffee sits in the bottom, while you tilt the mug to fill a cavity in the top with one ounce of coffee, which cools to a mouth-friendly temperature once separated with its main body.
Do we need an airlock for coffee? Good solution, or techno-overkill?

I vote overkill.
That siphon bar is $20K, not $11K. The Clover is $11K. Interestingly, a pot of the siphon coffee is $11 at Blue Bottle. It all comes full-circle.)
This is the same school of design that keeps putting more cup holders in cars. Utter waste of design and engineering cycles. what no USB recharger for it?
There are more interesting and important problems to solve in the world.
I bought that cup some time ago. It's a great idea, but it's poorly manufactured. Cheap plastic, hard to clean and it leaks. It's a shame, as it actually works.
