Our model was purchased from Meloty Fine Tea Company, in Richmond, BC, Canada, for $160 Canadian dollars.

The Hario Nouveau has a lot of excellent features and details. Here's a quick look at them:

• Excellent design, and a very intelligent mix of form and function.
  
• Brews enough for 2 six ounce cups of coffee
  
• Excellent performance from alcohol burner
  
• First rate materials used throughout
  
• Design of the upper chamber encourages natural agitation in the coffee grounds / water mixture.
  
• Filter looks high tech, but the use of paper brings it down.
  
• Unique quick-locking handle and bottom globe design won big kudos
  
• Kickdown is rapid
  
• Coffee in the cup is crystal clear and a mellow cup, but is lacking some of the complexities from the coffee oils that are prevented by the paper filter.
