A near replica of the original 'automatic coffee maker' which was first sold in the 1840s, the Royal (and other similar balance brewers) work just like any vacuum brewer, except the action is side to side.

Product Reviewed: Royal Versailles Copper
Bottom Line: Coffee that tastes as good as the Royal looks - that's saying something.
Martin Lipton (quality: 8.5) 07.21.2003 Rating: 9.8
Bottom Line: Only 35 cents a month (if you keep it for 102 years). Worth it!
Harry Ofgang (quality: 5.3) 08.13.2003 Rating: 9.8
Bottom Line: How many paintings or other works of art can brew a great cup of coffee?

Product Reviewed: Royal
Bottom Line: Not for daily use but rather on special occasions. Nice look and very good smelling and tasting coffee. Stays hot for quite a while in the copper vessel. Very handy spigot, to fill the cups from.
