The Emperor has NO Clothes!

byross99 Feb 3, 2004
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros OK, it's cool to watch it bubble.
Cons Everything else.
Recommended it? No

I cannot believe all the rave reviews the Bodum has received. We've had one for about 6 months, and already the bottom heating element is badly discolored, (and no way to get in there to clean it) and the little plastic brackets that hold the lid on are broken. E-mails to Bodum regarding the sorry... Read full review »

It's Grrrreat!

Pros Ease of use, great tasting coffee, fun to watch.
Cons Can't submerge pot to wash.
Recommended it? Yes

Sorry, Tony, but my ideal breakfast starts with a great cup of coffee! The Bodum Santos makes the best auto brewed coffee I've ever had. Its so easy to make the coffee and clean up afterward- and what fun to watch! Don't use this pot with your Folgers, though, fresh ground beans and filtered water... Read full review »

The best alternative to French press.

byvw_ev Nov 25, 2003
16 Helpfuls 17 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 4 Comments
Pros High-quality Coffee, High-quality Machine
Cons Might become tedious for everyday use.
Recommended it? Yes

The first thing to know when buying a coffee maker is that simplicity is always key to a successful brew. If you don't believe this concept, you will after experimenting a few times. This fact alone is why the French press remains a favorite among coffee gurus. Very few moving parts to break, and... Read full review »

Bodum Santos makes great tasting Coffee

bykahuken_dt100 Oct 12, 2003
15 Helpfuls 16 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Ease of Use, Great Taste, Facinating to watch!
Cons Cleaning lower unit, uses lots of grind
Recommended it? Yes

After seeing the Starbucks Utopia a few years back in action. I decided at that time that one day I would purchase a Utopia. However I had just purchased a new coffee maker from Switzerland at the time and could not justify another purchase.
In visiting a Starbucks recently I found that they... Read full review »

Good Coffee and easy to use

bydanneauxs Sep 29, 2003
25 Helpfuls 26 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 6 Comments
Pros Fast, easy to use, fast, flavorfull, conversation piece, fast
Cons Care needed in cleaning, plastic not glass, price
Recommended it? Yes

Not sure about the difficulty everyone has with cleaning this unit. It may not be dishwasher safe but it's pretty easy to clean. The top bowl is easy to clean, just pop out the filter screen and rinse or wash by hand. In my opinion it's easier to clean than the filter basket in a normal drip maker... Read full review »

Good Marketing for a Poor Product

10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros Looks good when new.
Cons Very difficult to clean. Not durable. Expensive.
Recommended it? No

After reviewing the extensive advertising on this coffeemaker we bought one and liked the looks but quickly realized we had been taken in by the hype. Despite using top quality, freshly ground coffee, the coffee taste was unremarkable and comparable to any cheap drip machine. The lower unit was... Read full review »

I love the taste of the coffee from this machine!

bylouisd Mar 9, 2003
31 Helpfuls 32 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 4 Comments
Pros Tastes like French Press Coffee, Brews quite fast, Looks cool
Cons A bit of a pain to clean, Plastic finish may scratch
Recommended it? Yes

The Bodum Electric Santos makes coffee in about half the time of an ordinary drip machine and yet the coffee tastes much better.

This coffee maker uses the vacuum method of coffee brewing. In the past this was method was limited to complex glass brewers that were used on the stove top and... Read full review »

Perhaps the one coffee maker you should own

byScott_A_R Feb 9, 2003
23 Helpfuls 24 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 4 Comments
Pros Great coffee, neat to watch, rather simpler than other vac pots
Cons doesn't make enough for company
Recommended it? Yes

I am coffee nut. Not only do I own almost two dozen different coffee brewing devices, I also own three coffee roasters, and roast all of the coffee that I drink at home.

I am not a fan of autodrip machines because, with a few exceptions, they do not brew a very good cup of coffee (mainly... Read full review »

Pros Unique Design, Ease of Use, Delicious Coffee
Cons Not Waterproof, Plastic scratches easily, Price.
Recommended it? Yes

I bought my i-blue Bodum Santos coffee pot 10 months ago and I love it and use it every day. It has some nice features like keeping your coffee at the perfect drinking temperature for up to 2 hours. It also includes a timer for fresh coffee in the morning, and built in cord storage.

Excellent if you focus on flavor!

byblumadue Nov 9, 2002

Pros Excellent coffee flavor! Great show!
Cons Tougher to "reload" than drip models. Bottom plate eventually leaks.
Recommended it? Yes

*** UPDATE - March 2008 ***
I see the flaw in this design. The plastic carafe seems to have a weak point around the base. After repeated use it starts to leak. I'm still using it because I just love the smooth coffee flavor, but it's a little annoying to have it failing again. I'd love to... Read full review »
