Any info on the Sibarist Halo brewer?

I like that Sibarist is out there setting the high bar for coffee filters. Ive played with their filters and quite like them, but for 98% of brewing the price point just isnt justied Imo. I'd argue they are undisputed leaders in high end filters.

I feel like they are just getting pretentious though with this new Halo brewer

A glass jar "inspired by minimalism" should not have a very maximal base model price of $374(sale price!)

I love learning about and trying new brewing techniques, but this one is out of my league and while it's mean-spirited, I'm kind of booing this one and hoping it bombs. I do already love that they refer to it as the "BS" for short.

I'm surprised I can't find any videos or pre release reviews at all on this thing. Anyone here know anything? I'm morbidly curious.

Beats me.

Seems like you could put an inverted shot glass in a beaker for the same effect.

Only if you wear black gloves while doing it.

That's clearly a key part of the process.

But only official Sibarist black gloves will guarantee the quality of the resulting brew.

Over priced coffee gear is a big No! for me.
