The best coffee maker...

byjillscottjack May 15, 2002
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 3 Comments
Pros Ease of use, Beauty, Conversation starter, Delicious coffee, no bitterness.
Cons Price, base is not waterproof.
Recommended it? Yes

I saw this bizarre coffee maker and was so curious I ordered one. It takes a few experimental pots to get the perfect flavor that is right for you. You should also invest in a burr grinder. I have found that 1oz. of quality beans, freshly ground and a full pot of water will give excellent results... Read full review »

I wanted this to work!

Pros Looks great!
Cons Hard to clean carafe (mold will grow) & grounds a pain to deal with.
Recommended it? Yes

I think this would be a great way to brew/cook coffee, now I know why I try not to think too much! The carafe is very, very difficult to clean. The coffee grounds are a pain to deal with unless you just wash them down the drain (we compost). The brewed coffee is usually loaded with sludge and is... Read full review »

Pros kind of fun to watch
Cons makes consistently weak coffee. pricey.
Recommended it? No

I have never been so disappointed in a product in my life. If I spend $120 on something, I expect the darned thing to actually work. I'm rather surprised that Bodum is still making this, as one of their customer service reps eventually told me that many, many people have had problems with them. I... Read full review »

Great coffee.

Pros Tastes just like French Pressed coffee. Beautiful design.
Cons You need to use a lot more ground coffee. Expensive to operate.
Recommended it? Yes

The "Bodum Electric Santos 12 Cup Coffeemaker" makes a great cup of coffee. You have to follow the instructions though. It requires roughly twice as much ground coffee beans as a drip coffee maker. To make 6 cups of coffee, you must use 12 level tablespoons of ground coffee. I can make 6 cups of... Read full review »

It is the best. Period.

Pros Stunning design, beautiful construction, outstanding coffee.
Cons several steps to clean, big, cantankerous silicon ring
Recommended it? Yes

As a coffee snob and espresso aficionado, I have always forced my friends to endure long waits as I pulled enough espresso to placate the crowd or gone through the production of having myriad presses in action at once. Having spent my early years weaned onto the stuff produced by Brauns and... Read full review »

Don't believe the hype!

Pros Puts on a good show and looks cool.
Cons Less flavorful coffee. Pain to clean.
Recommended it? No

I was given one of these as a Christmas present, and after hearing a lot of good things said about them, I was very excited to try it out. Unfortunately, the coffee brewed by this thing just didn't seem very flavorful. I thought maybe my mind was playing tricks on me. After all, I had high... Read full review »

Design triumphs over taste

Pros Stylish design
Cons Poor coffee maker
Recommended it? No

Bodum brags about its emphasis on design. In this case, design wins. Taste -- of the coffee, that is -- is the loser.

Simply put, the coffee from the Santos 3000 is thin and weak. I say this having explored a number of different ways of using the machine. I've used more coffee (lots and... Read full review »

Pros Great tasting, coffeehouse style coffee.
Cons Uses A LOT of coffee, bit tough to clean the pot.
Recommended it? Yes

The Bodum Electric Santos 12 Cup Coffee Maker is the greatest kitchen appliance to ever enter my house. Although the Bodum Santos was a bit on the pricey side, it was worth every penny! Not only does it brew rich, flavorful coffee, it is very stylish and a great conversation piece! The Santos is a... Read full review »

Pros Makes excellent flavored coffee, Coffee stays very hot
Cons Control buttons not marked well. Somewhat awkward to take apart
Recommended it? Yes

I have gone from a Mr Coffee to a Braun to a Krups to the Bodum Electric Santos 12 Cup Coffeemaker Clear 3000-10 clear and I have to say it makes the best coffee I've every had a home.
I loved my Krups but it recently had a hemorrage and could not be saved, a moment of silence please. I have... Read full review »
