As beautiful as sculpture, as fascinating as chemistry, and as entertaining as theater, this coffeemaker from Switzerland converts the ordinary process of brewing coffee into an artful performance. And it makes six 5-ounce cups of full-flavored coffee while it entrances. The coffeemaker fits together like this: water goes into the carafe, a filter fits into the mouth of a tube in the top globe, ground coffee goes into the globe (a scoop is included), the globe fits atop the carafe with the tube extending into the carafe, and the carafe goes onto the stovetop with a trivet or heat diffuser between it and electric or gas heat. (This is all much simpler and quicker than it sounds.) Water boils up through the tube into the globe and brews the coffee. When brewing is complete and the carafe has been taken off the stovetop and set into its accompanying sculpted trivet, the coffee drains through the filter into the carafe. The globe can then be lifted off the carafe and set on its stand, and coffee can be poured from the carafe, which has a stay-cool handle. A stopper for the carafe keeps second cups warm while the first cups are sipped. Fully assembled, the coffee maker stands 11-1/2 inches high. It's made of heat-resistant glass and durable, gleaming nylon, and all parts are dishwasher-safe. --Fred Brack
Product Description
If you ever thought watching the coffee brew was on a par with watching the paint dry, think again! This innovative and visually stunning brewing method is sure to attract an audience, there as much for the show as they are for a cup of joe. Water is heated in the lower jug on the stovetop or a spirit burner and eventually boils up through a funnel where it mixes with the ground coffee, once the coffee is brewed, the unit is removed from the heat and brewed coffee is released back into the lower jug. Equal parts chemistry, theatre, engineering and sculpture, this coffeemaker from Bodum is made for the spotlight.

 Bodum coffee rocks October 31, 2008
Christine M. Walsh (San Francisco Bay)
We love our Bodum coffee - you may never drink StarBucks again. It provides hours of entertainment for friends as well. Our friends are always fascinated by the process, love the quality flavor of the coffee, and end up buying one themselves. The coffee takes a little longer to make, and a little more attention, but the flavor is well worth it! Buy 2 and have replacement parts on hand for when you break something.

Bodum Santos Stovetop Glass Vacuum 34-Ounce Coffee Maker
I recognized this type of coffee maker from many years ago, when Diner type restaurants in New York used these almost exclusively to brew coffee. Recent literature suggested that this method of brewing was superior to most other brew methods, since it eliminated the "grit" component present, for example, in French Press coffee brewing and presumably, gave the correct brewing temperature for the water. My experience with this particular Bodum Santos product is overall positive. It brews a smooth, grit-free, flavorful cup of coffee in a reasonably quick time and appears to function well, without problems or complications. The water in the reservoir boils, is transported in geyser-like fashion to the top of the coffee maker, mixes with the ground coffee, brews for a few moments and then descends back down through the filter into the bottom reservoir again. You need to follow the sparse, but adequate, directions in the box and after a few tries, you will get the hang of it. One drawback for me is the cleanup. I cannot brew coffee this way in the morning when I am trying to get my commuter train connection, since I don't want to leave the cleanup for later in the day when I come home. So, this is the brewing method on weekends, when I have time for it. As you well know, the quality of the coffee pretty much determines the outcome of any brewing method, so use the best quality coffee beans you can afford and you will have the best chance to enjoy the result. By the way, the filter needs to be carefully cleaned after each use, or it may malfunction. Not a problem if you just take a few moments to rinse it carefully. You do not need paper or cloth filters with this product. Saves money that way, so you can spend more on the coffee.
great coffee! October 2, 2008

My husband has been talking up this kind of coffee maker for a while so I bought him one for his birthday. It was an instant hit! Cautions to go along with this coffee maker...not something to use when you are in a hurry because of the attention needed while handling the pot. It is made of glass...we are having to replace the top pot already because when my husband was cleaning it up, he accidentally tapped it with his wedding ring and it broke. Note here: that part is almost as expensive as the whole coffeepot! If you break it you may just want to go ahead and replace the whole thing. Sounds crazy, but I may do that the next time!

Wonderful coffee. The only drawback is it only brews two large cups at a time. Otherwise, if you have the time in the morning, it's great.
the best! August 25, 2008

I love my coffee maker! Bodum does not make the 12 cup electric coffee maker I previously had, so when I found this one I was happy to try it. I am very satisfied with it.
