Only a Cona siphon brewer but in my experience reliability was definitely not amongst its positive attributes. It would regularly airlock and stop drawing down entirely. When it did work well the brew temperature wouldn’t be easily controllable and it was often overextracted due to getting too close to boiling and the big agitation you get.
Having said all that, it really is magical but it never tasted as good as a pour over for me.

Anyone got any hands-on experience with siphon brewers? Been hankering after one for years and finally have the space to keep one in the kitchen permanently (looking at the Hario Technica specifically). Willing to put up with the faff of cleaning if they reliably make a decent brew.
