Steampunk Coffee Maker

These are unbelievably cool. Though I really don't want one. Its is called a Belgian Balance Brewer, and this brass model on Amazon is probably the closest thing you can commercially purchase to have a Steampunk coffee brewer without adding extraneous valves and dials.

Really, it is a beautiful piece that I came across by scrolling through the coffee communities. I do not necessarily want it, because the vacuum brewers wig me out, and this is a weight based vacuum brewer that is described as the first automatic coffee maker.
