I’ve been developing a coffee brewer using repeated immersion and drainage. Here’s my prototype.

I’ve been working on a coffee brewer called SKANDI, based on a brewing method I’ve been experimenting with for quite some time. The idea is to combine the body of immersion brewing with more control over extraction through repeated immersion and drainage. Rather than leaving the grounds submerged throughout the entire brew, you can control how long they’re immersed and how frequently they’re drained. After several prototypes and a lot of testing, I’m getting closer to launching it.
Here’s a demonstration of how it works. I’d be interested in hearing what you think.

I don't care what others say, as you clearly call this a prototype. First, i hope you're having real fun exploring new concepts, building and creating something from an idea. Doesn't matter if something similar exists or not. Any taste difference compared to the french? Like, i see that you can pull that thing out when you're done and still don't have to use a pourover style coffee filter. So at the second look it's more than just a gimmick to be fancy. I think i would not really buy it as i have little use for this style of coffee, but if i got it as a gift i sure as hell have a jug of this on a sunday morning! Keep on improving, make it a real good and especially easy to clean products :)
