This will make the best cup of coffee outside of a high-end bistro. The only downside is that it takes a little longer to make and if the coffee is too finely ground, it can clog after brewing.
No other coffee maker has fascinated passionate coffee drinkers like the Santos. A unique physical process with the ideal balance between the 94? Celsius water and just the right brewing time, extracting the finest aroma from all types of coffee. Water is heated in the bottom compartment.
As the pressure builds, the water rises to the top and mixes with the coffee. When the heat is removed, the delicious coffee is pulled back down by the vacuum in the bottom chamber. The process is fascinating to watch, and a conversation piece when entertaining. But the real treat is the full bodied flavor similar to French press, but without the heavy sediment and grinds in your coffee.
I’d be interested in trying it as well. I’ve used a regular bodum before, and I wasn’t that impressed. I like the convenience of drip coffee. I would say I’m in the medium range on the connoisseur scale. I grind my own beans, don’t have a fancy machine, and I like a lot of cream and sugar.
