Video description calls it the new craze ;) Anyone own a flip-dripper? I definitely don't have one in my collection. 

Ready, Set, Flip-Drip!

That is probably the most cumbersome brew method I've seen. Are there even any purported benefits to this?

It's a common myth among certain coffee geeks that the more cumbersome it is, the better the coffee will taste.  The lever-heads are proof in point.  <ducks>

I see what you did there:) Having owned both, I am not sure there is that much more effort.

For a single, I pull once, for a double I pull the lever back down again, let go and watch. Temperature management is nonexistant on mine..

The spaz was slightly easier but just barely.

Back on topic, if the review video contains assembly bloopers, it is too hard and not worth it. Also, that looked like a really weak cup.
