Miss Betsy's Quintessential Steampunk Gadget

Step 9: The Finished Coffee Maker

Of course I could have added some additional "steampunkish" elements but I think the coffee maker catches your eye because of the simple lines along with the contrast between black base, coffee(tea) pot and gleaming metal.
The last pic is a stereogram and if you know how, you can see the coffee maker in 3D. Just click on the i in the upper left corner and see it at full size. (Further explanations at my instructable "Stereo Photography Track - quick and dirty" )

I like your design. I am currently designing a steampunk coffee maker and the idea of running a food grade pipe inside the copper pipes removes the risk of contamination from the copper or the solder - nicely done if I may say so.

Beautiful work, Steampunk or Deco. I don't care, I like it. Who knew what lurked within your household coffee maker?

GOod job! I was wondering for all the people who want to make properly made coffee, do you know what the temperature is of the water that is going out of this maker?

This isn't "steam punk" if anything its Art Deco.

I think she did a great job, and it opens the door for anyone else with a creative side. I don't think anyone should ever leave negative comments to a person who has had the courage to share their ideas with the world.
Perhaps it isn't "Steampunk" by the very definition, but all it's missing is the brass/copper water reservoir, and decanter/caraffe. Who could find a big enough piece of brass tubing for either on such short notice?

Thx guys for standing up for me but I am not offended by the remark "my coffee maker not being steam punk but Art Deco".
For once, I really like Art Deco and some influences can't be denied, on the other hand this project really involves steam, doesn't it?! ^_o

At last a use for the leaking water bottle! I have a water bottle like the one you used as reservoir with a hole in the bottom. I knew I was saving it for something! Come to think of it, I also have a disassembled coffee maker in the garage and a box of copper plumbing fittings. I think I will assemble my own version next weekend.
