Quick to Concentrate
A watched teapot may never boil, but a new system from BKON Craft Brewers is nearly eliminating the wait time. Featuring Reverse Atmospheric Infusion (rain) technology, the Craft Brewer uses controlled-vacuum-infusion cycles to extract the natural flavor from loose-leaf teas, coffee, and botanicals. In 90 seconds, the concentrates are ready to be poured over ice. $24,250
