It is innovative by its design because it is a steam coffee maker (Caseneuve type) but reversed: the hermetic closure system is reminiscent of a pressure cooker, the coffee is tamped by a filter at the bottom and the water is heated from the sides with the flames coming from an alcohol bath surrounding the base. When the water boils, the coffee comes out of a long stylized tube, placed at the bottom of the coffee maker.
