The Bodum Santos, designed by Peter Bodum in 1950, is a Danish-designed, stovetop coffee maker that uses a vacuum method to brew gourmet coffee. This Bodum coffee maker offers an entertaining and visually appealing way of brewing that creates an appetizing treat for you and your guests.
Once placed on an electric or gas stove, the water boils up into the upper globe to saturate the coffee grounds. After removing the coffee maker from the heat source and placing it on its trivet, the coffee filters down through the tube and into the carafe. The vacuum process produces exceptional coffee that retains its natural oils, unlike most coffees made in the conventional coffee maker. Brew superior gourmet coffee with the Bodum Santos!

Interesting and fun to toy with, but no better than a press.
By Thomas Sheriff from Houston, TX on November 29, 2011
It is a fun toy to experiment with, but you might as well use a French Press which is way simpler and easier to deal with. I use a can of sterno to heat it because it enhances the chemistry set feel to the project. Getting the grind consistency and the little finicky tricks to brewing the proper strength takes a few trys, but you will have some fun.Good Coffee

This makes good coffee but better tea. We are on our 3rd one and now only use it for tea. The 1st one the pot cracked less than a month after purchase. The 2nd one exploded while the coffee was draining. Glass, coffee and grounds all over the kitchen. We have used this product with special care, never used high heat and never let it unattended. Will never purchase another one. The reason for having 3 was we received a free replacement from the company we bought it from and also emailed the manufacture about it and they also sent us a new one. Great coffee

I've owned this coffee maker for about 3 years now. It makes very good, tasty coffee. I handle it gingerly whenever I wash it because the parts are not available separately. If you break a piece, you have to buy a whole new unit. I highly recommend the Bodum Santos for good coffee! Pros:
Brews great coffee.Cons:
The price! Ridiculous.I would recommend this item to a friend.
Great Coffee Maker....

This coffee maker is made of regular thin glass (it is NOT tempered) and any slight bump or tap on the top funnel will shatter the glass. This occurred to me while gently washing the funnel top piece and was cut in several places. I used it exactly four times. The replacement funnel is the biggest ripoff since Madoff. It costs $60 to replace the top funnel piece and whole item is only $66 through Google Checkout. It is made in China and my guess is the product is no more than $10 delivered stateside. Sooooo....I had to buy the whole item once more and did not receive any consideration from coffeeam...there advice was to go to the distributor and buy a replacement part. Good coffee but safety says treat it with kid gloves.
