By the way, which Gas Stove are you using

[nootron]

I got this yesterday as an xmas present. The instructions clearly state 2 things that you don't follow here so im hoping you can clarify: (1) Leave 2 cm of water in bottom pot. You seem to drain it nearly completely. (2) never put the pot on a cold or wet surface after boiling.

Im looking for a clean bold cup of coffee and im on pot #8 today and cannot get it with this maker. All i get are very tasteless watery pots of coffee :(

@nootron Hi, in order for the vacuum to work you must remove the heat source. I did not put it on a cold surface, I just removed it from the heat source. I also find that the best technique is to let all of the water to go up into the top globe and in this video I actually thought I removed the heat source too quickly since the draining to the bottom globe was slower than it should be. If you coffee is watery and tasteless I would suggest adding more coffee. ..

[nootron]

@iDrinkCoffeeCanada Thanks for the tips. I am going to add more coffee. Currently we are using a fine grind instead of a coarse. Does a coarse grind lead to a richer coffee brew? Or is a coarse grind only suggested to avoid possibly clogging the draining of the top pot?

[nootron]

@nootron As far as letting all the water go up into the top globe, this just isn't possible. The glass stem only goes to about 1/4 inch above the bottom of the bottom pitcher so even if you let it boil for 10 minutes, there is always going to be 1/4 inch of water left in the bottom pitcher.

@nootron The Bodum Santos is a 1 litre pot, so I suggest using at least 40-50 grams of coffee. The coffee should be a medium grind or a little coarser. Let the water come close to boiling, the top globe when infused should start bubbling a little bit, that is when you should remove it and the coffee should be sucked down fairly quickly. If you are having trouble, give us a call and I will try to walk you through it.

You go to all that trouble to put it in a styrofoam cup! LOL And what does 'fairly clean' cup of coffee mean? Semi-sooty? I would redo this a couple more times to lose the stutter as well. Otherwise, nice work. : )

[iDrinkCoffeeCanada]

@VideosbyElle The styrofoam cup is really haunting me; in every other video I use bodum glassware; I won't make that mistake again. Fairly Clean means that it is cleaner than a french press but not quite as clean as filtered. There may be some sediment in the cup.

Great process and vid but he really could've used real china coffee cups!

[tedchow2002]

this looks kinda danger @@

[dodder20]

what size was the coffee beans grinded? what setting was the machine set to.. my reviews on amazon.com say its the grind size that matters the most..

«And then we can surf» - allright, surf that caffeine, dude :)

[alnusypinus]

Mmmm....BOOOOOOOMMMM????

[scarekrow9]

is that a primus omnifuel?



[iDrinkCoffeeCanada]

@scarekrow9 Yes it is, good eye.

[IMKINDOFABIGDEAL13]

will this work on an electric stove?

[iDrinkCoffeeCanada]

@IMKINDOFABIGDEAL13 yes, however, I would only use it on a ceramic or glass top electric stove. If you have coils it would be best to put something in between like a wire grid to prevent fracture.

[sondreborseth]

have anyone els tried the kopi luwak coffee in this one?.. didn't think it was to great with that type of coffee...

[nostatQuo13]

@sondreborseth thats because kopi luwak is, well, shitty coffee :p

[sondreborseth]

mine broke right after i opened the box. the end tip of the glas cylinder that sucks the water up....

[iDrinkCoffeeCanada]

@sondreborseth If it was purchased from us please give us a call and we can see if we can work something out for you.

[sondreborseth]

@iDrinkCoffeeCanada

ah no worries .. it wasent from this shop

[IngeNaning]

It's one of the most awesome ways to make coffee but the entire design is like an accident waiting to happen. ^^

[gricka31]

bit of a shame you're using a plastic cup after all that effort

[lascottli]

I ordered the Bodum Santos Vacuum Coffee Maker from idrinkcoffeedotcom. The upper camber was broken. I phoned them and they shipped a replacement within 24 hrs. No hassle. idrinkcoffeedotcom is the real deal for your coffee needs.

[hbcwilson]

Thankyou so much Slawek. I have just bought myself a Bodum Santos Vacuum Coffee Pot, so I too can have a flavourable cup of coffee.

[vtblues]

I received one of these coffee makers as a Christmas gift. I find that it makes one of the best tasting pots of coffee I've tried, including french presses. It's smooth and very full flavor with a small amount of very fine unobnoxious sediment. the clean up is easy and quick, just a quick run through the sink with soap and water and it's done.Well worth the very small extra effort

[iDrinkCoffeeCanada]

This demonstration was done in our store and I just used a demo cup becuase it was at hand, under normal conditions I would have use a matching Bodum double wall glass or ceramic cup.

The ratio of coffee to water is up to the individual, if you prefer a stronger taste you can use more coffee. I just used the fairly standard ratio of 10 grams to 250 ml.

[terner3122]

Styrofoam cup? Yuk, use a real cup.

Do styrofoam drinking cups leach Styrofoam into the heated liquids they contain?

Just a simple glass or ceramic cup would be best.

[klarinetta]

Why so extremley little coffee to water ration ?

Nobody in my family has complained about my ration of 17g per 250ml of water or almost 7g per every 100ml.

[guktube]

such a fince coffee and than: plastic cups - nogo

[iDrinkCoffeeCanada]

That's true, although like many things in life it is worth the extra effort. The result is an exceptional cup.

[Canman99]

Fascinating way to brew coffee. But, it leaves you with two pots to clean, instead of just one.
