What you do call that coffee pot that they have, the glass percolator kind? Does anyone know?

I'd like to know too. I looked online and can't find it, but I want one.

It seems to be popular in the 1940s/50s. I saw it again in another movie from that era.

It's a Syphon coffee maker: http://ilovecoffee.co.za/reviews/the-syphon-coffee-maker/

I love the little espresso coffee cups that go with it!

You can also see one in a film called 'The Passionate Friends', directed by David Lean.

I'm so glad this thread and post are here! I just watched this again tonight and wondered if anyone else noticed that coffee pot...it looks like a science experiment. Now I've got to have one.
