Wording edit

--- "The device consists of an hourglass-shaped glass flask which resembles an Erlenmeyer flask, with a conical, rather than cylindrical neck"

By the way, it also has a rounded bottom (like a boiling flask), unlike the frustum shaped bottom of an Erlenmeyer flask.

In other words, its shape is like an Erlenmeyer flask, except for everything about its shape. It would be more accurate to say any of the following:

  • "In the form of a glass funnel with a carafe instead of a stem."
  • "Homeomorphic with a disc."
  • "...shaped like a beaker wearing a tight corset." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.247.73.130 (talkcontribs) 15:03, 30 August 2012

I plan to make a few additions and edits to this page. I am a university student studying journalism and for this semester, Wikipedia. I will add more information to the "brewing coffee" section to start. Rachelmjohnson (talk) 21:47, 28 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

Design edit

This is widely cited as "the best industrial design ever". Yet why is this? What's so great about the design? How does it make better coffee? Look more aesthetically pleasing? Andy Dingley (talk) 11:32, 27 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
