On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.6 stars. In individual cases, there are complaints that it leaks or clogs easily. On the other hand, the high-quality and functional design and the fair price are emphasised positively. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the easy installation and good function of the siphon were well received by customers. However, consumers’ criticism of the cup siphon’s tightness and difficult flow was not justified.
Prices of up to €95.88 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from as little as €10.95 . The cup siphon from Bächlein is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €19.95. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
