I have one of those!!! It's made in Denmark, the name on it is Bodum. I must
say that it makes the best coffee I've ever had! I picked it up because
it was unusual and it can make just one cup of coffee. Since I live alone,
I've resisted buying a Mr. Coffee, or whatever, because you have to make
several (like 4) cups minimum. A little too much to make for yourself
before going to work.

I highly recomment it to anyone serious about coffee. But you've really
got to have a coffee grinder and grind it fresh! (the ONLY way...)
