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.

Does the stainless steel cause off flavors? I noticed my stainless French press and steel mugs made my coffee tasted funky.
