## Description

Product Description No other coffee maker has fascinated passionate coffee drinkers like the Pebo (former Santos). Its exceptionally effective vacuum brewing method extracts all precious oils of your favorite coffee. The vacuum brewing process is entirely sealed off so no aroma can escape. In addition, the brewing time and temperature are perfectly calibrated, ensuring a perfect cup of coffee with each brew. Monitor the eye-catching brewing process through the two firmly attached glass bowls! Depending on the amount of water used, the Pebo (former Santos) can brew delicious coffee within 5 to 11 minutes, serving anywhere from 4 to 8 cups (0. 5l/10 ounces, max. 1. 0l/34 ounces). desertcart.com 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

Review: Well-designed, easy to operate and clean, and makes PERFECT coffee - I'll start by saying I'm an a real coffee enthusiast. Having works in countries around the world who prepare some of the finest coffees in the world, I've developed a taste for excellent coffee. Years ago I used the Bodum electric Santos, but Bodum discontinued that product. More recently I've been using the Techovorm Moccamaster, the highest-rated electric drip coffee maker. It's an excellent product and makes very good coffee. For variety, I recently ordered the Bodum Santos Vacuum Coffee Maker. I read previous reviews where folks were saying that their pot exploded, etc - my personal opinion is that, if used as directed, this will never happen. The coffee maker works off of water vapor pressure, so if you're mindful when making your coffee I don't think you'll have problems. I've been using mine for about 3 weeks and I have zero doubts that my unit will malfunction. I've experimented with the process and the chronological steps and will share it here - it works well for me. I will add that I like very strong coffee. 1. First, fill the decanter with purified or spring water with the number of ounces of water of your choice. Place the decanter on the heat source and turn the heat on to medium. 2. Grind the coffee using the coarsest "French Roast" grind. My favorite full-bodied coffee is Peet's Major Dickason's Blend, a dark roast. It and other coffees can be ordered online from Peet's Coffee. I like Peet's because they roast, package and vacuum-seal your coffee and send it out the same day. You receive very fresh coffee in about 4 days. Fresh coffee is critical in this process. 3. Insert and secure the upper bowl to the lower decanter using a small amount of pressure to make sure the fit is good. Make sure you have already inserted the plastic filter into the upper bowl before securing the upper bowl to the decanter. 4. Add the ground coffee to the upper bowl. I use 1 tablespoon of coffee for every 3 ounces of water; sometimes I add a scoop more. For 24 oz. of water, I add 8 scoops (24 divided by 3), then I add one more scoop. 5. Turn the heat source to high. Since the water has already been heating, the vacuum process should occur in just a couple of minutes. 6. When the water heats to a certain temperature, all of the water will have risen to the upper bowl. It appears to be boiling, but it is not - it is just additional steam coming from the decanter to the upper bowl. Stir the coffee grounds to make sure they're evenly distributed. 7. This is where my process differs from most others. Others will advise you to now take the coffee maker off of the heat source which means the coffee in the upper bowl will almost immediately flow back down into the decanter. I prefer a stronger cup that tastes more like French Press, so I do not eliminate the heat source right away. I turn the heat down to low or med-low and continue to let the vapor rise into the upper bowl. I let the coffee brew for about 5 minutes...THEN I turn off the heat source and then the coffee flows down into the decanter. 8. Once all of the liquid has gone back down into the decanter (this takes only a few seconds), gently twist the upper bowl and lift it off the decanter. Place the upper bowl into the provided plastic "stem". 9. That's it. You should now have strong but clean-tasting coffee. A final note: I prefer this coffee over my Technovorm MochaMaster. Summary: I know this process sounds tedious and time-consuming. It is not at all - I have merely described the steps in detail. After only a couple of times, you will be able to prepare the coffee very quickly - only the steep time adds minutes to the process. Good luck, and enjoy your delicious coffee!!
Review: A great cup of coffee--but with some caveats (Revised) - Edited to add: I just heard back from Bodum. They had asked me to send them a photo of the broken beaker and my proof of purchase, which I did. They told me that glass is not covered under the warranty. That's peculiar, as there is almost nothing BUT glass there! desertcart does not have a replacement beaker, so I went to the Bodum site. They are out of stock. The selling price is $50.00. I am very disappointed. I used this perhaps ten times and treated it with the same care as my expensive, delicate martini glasses. It broke spontaneously. I can't see spending another $73.00 on a replacement, so I'll look for a similar device from another manufacturer. (end edit) Having a coffeepot that looks like a science experiment makes the geek in me very happy. It also makes a very clean, smooth cup of coffee. The filter, held in place by a spring, looks iffy--it's grooves in a plastic disc--but very effective. It will work best with a comparatively coarse grind. I've been using mine for three months. Today, the funnel (the top globe) broke. A piece of it, about an inch on each side, popped out. I didn't drop it or bump it against anything. I'm hoping to get a replacement under warranty. I have the 1-liter model. Since I am making coffee only for myself, the second and third cups are lukewarm to cold. That's not a dealbreaker, but if I wanted piping hot coffee for the second and third cups, I'd keep it in a thermos. When I make a pot, I put it on the medium-low flame on my gas stove. I set a timer for 9 minutes. That's the point at which most of the water has risen to the top globe. I used a flame disperser at first, but the Pyrex seems to handle the low flame with no problem. Using the disperser, it takes a bit longer--12 minutes compared to 9. There's a little more fiddling around to make a pot with this than your typical automatic coffee maker, but I think the resulting cup is worth the effort. Cleanup is a bit more work, as well. The coffee grounds end up quite dry, so I use a rubber spatula to scrape the grounds into the compost. Then a quick swish with a dish brush and hot water does the rest.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why aren't replacment parts available?**
A: No idea. Buy another one. I had one, it was great but I dropped it. Avoid dropping.

A: Yes. There is a spring-held plastic catch device that "blocks" the grinds from falling from the top portion into the carafe.

**Q: what exactly is the difference between the SANTOS and PEBO?**
A: all of my research into the differences are there are no differences.  they are one in the same. this link will take you to the manufacture.  in their description they say "(former SANTOS)".http://www.bodum.com/gb/en-us/shop/detail/1208-01/hope this helps

**Q: Since there is no cover for the upper chamber, does this cause splashing of coffee out of the pot as it bubbles up?**

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by G***W on April 7, 2012*

I bought this just before Christmas so it's been in constant use for the last 3 1/2 months. I've been through many different coffee makers over the years and for my particular tastes this is the best. No, it won't make you an espresso but if the thing you are after is the best 'long' coffee you can get then I think this device takes some beating. It gives the depth of flavour of a French press except without the sludgey bits - very clean and zingy. It's marginally slower to use than a French press but much quicker than a filter machine and I think the results are far superior. When I use it, I actually boil the kettle and put boiling water straight into the bottom jug. I then put the coffee-loaded upper funnel into the bottom jug and turn the gas on. The water immediately rises into the top jug and starts bubbling. I (carefully, it's top heavy!!) give the brewing coffee a stir then I turn the heat down as low as it'll go and give it exactly 3 minutes. At that point, it's off with the heat and remove the jug to a heatproof trivet. A minute or so later, you're good to remove the top funnel and drink. From the point the kettle boils, it takes you less than 5 mins to have perfect coffee. Using this method, it's repeatable, sludge-free and (for my taste) perfectly brewed. I found the timings a little erratic if I just stuck it on the gas with cold water and of course this method takes longer / uses more energy - the kettle is more efficient :) It's very simple to clean but of course as it's a whole load of glass the clumsy need not apply! Not a cheap item to drop.... In all, I love it - it was around £45 when I bought it and it seems to have now gone up unfortunately..... Still worth it if you like coffee IMO.
