Sunbeam hasn't made vacuum brewers since the 1950s, but they used to dominate the automatic market. eBay has lots listed.

Bottom Line: A wonderful coffee maker that makes a fine cup of coffee, and looks good doing it. Just like your Great Grandparents used to own.

Bottom Line: Worth a try for $5.00, but the novelty of this has worn off after a mere weekend of play. Most likely destined for Ebay.
