Bodum Vacuum Coffee Maker

Water heats in the lower chamber, creating vapour pressure that forces the boiling water up to mix with coffee grounds. The coffee maker is then removed from the heat and vacuum pressure draws the brewed coffee downward, and into the bottom jug for serving.

Title: Interesting way of brewing coffee
Review: I can’t say it’s my favourite coffee brewing device, but it’s certainly the most eye catching I’ve seen. I use it mostly when I have guests and want to impress them and also to brew a lot of coffee at once.It does a good job in brewing coffee, but as usual, the quality of the cup depends on the beans-roast-grind-water quality.The price is good for a syphon and since you can use it on the stove (with a heat diffuser), it’s also easy to use. Cleaning it might be a bit tricky if you want it cristal clear, but you can get away by only running water in it.Being all glass and quite big it requires extra attention when handling it, so you need to be careful when using it.

Title: Fantastic coffee maker
Review: 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.

Title: Does what it says but espresso makers get more flavour.
Review: Good quality, easy to clean, easy to use. Makes coffee.I’ve bought a glass coffee maker as I was getting concerned about the toxins and chemicals displaced from the rusty solder and lead beads in the metal espresso makers. None of that worry with glass components, so that’s a big plus for me.Slight down side is that the process doesn’t get all the flavour out of two scoops like the espresso makers so you end up using more coffee. I have also started to let the filter process occur twice so as to get more flavour.It also percolates quite easily at a warm temperature rather than hot so you will find it useful to keep it on the heat and/or heat it twice.Instructions DO recommend the use of a heat diffuser, I bought one and it works very well.

Title: Great Looking, Great cup of coffee
Review: I bought this for more sentimental reasons really, as my parents had one in the late sixties early seventies. However, I looked at the price compared to basic filter and jug options and it wasn’t that much more expensive. This makes a good cup of coffee compared to our old filter jug as the coffee actually spends time in the hot water, as opposed to just pouring hot water straight through a filter on the jug. Only comment is that it needs to be looked after as it is a bit delicate.

Title: Beautiful, fun, practical and excellent tasting.
Review: My girlfriend told me on Saturday that while in Japan she enjoyed drinking coffee that was made with a “glass tube and chain” system. We then found out that it was called a syphon and that Bodum made it. The beauty of amazon is that in less than 24 hours we had one delivered.It is a thing of beauty, certainly not portable, but it is fun, quick to prepare and easy to clean. The coffee it makes (we used Kimbo coffee ground for a moka), and it takes just 5 minutes on our electric hob, is rounded and complex and not burnt like an Italian moka tends to taste like, more like a Neapolitan cuccuma, but less bitter than an espresso and less watery than a French press.It also makes a large quantity of coffee which can be useful when one has guests or a large breakfast table to serve.Highly recommended, just be careful not to drop it and handle it with care when washing it as, being it made of glass, it could shatter… and it would be game over.

Title: Delicate materials, be warned.
Review: Bought this in June 2018 and cracked November 2018. Both sections of this glass coffee maker are very thin and washing them is a gamble. I have been extremely careful and the last time I cleaned it, I tapped the top edge of the upper body funnel against the sink tap and “tink” I knew it was cracked. It was the slightest of taps but rendered the whole contraption useless, it is by far the flimsiest design I have come across, the glass is so thin you can feel its delicacy when taken out of the box.It makes for very good coffee but I have gone on ebay and bought an original designed by Cona from the 70’s and it feels definitely stronger and its plainly made of thicker glass. Bodum and every other maker of this design has copied Cona’s but even though the process is exactly the same, I find that I have to simmer slightly longer (5 secs) and bubble the water up into the top to allow the vacuum to build up enough to allow all the coffee to return to the base jug. If you want originality, try and buy an original glass stopper, but the flat, plastic filter from the bodum fits and does just a slightly better job.For the price, an original can be cheaper and last a heck of a lot longer than a bodum, why ? is still a mystery as the glass in the bodum is practically such a design flaw as to be criminal in my opinion, its never going to last, I’m not sure if this is a more modern, late design and some older versions may be better but a small crack has wasted £40 because of cost cutting & profit making, sign of the times really.

Review: Bereits meine Eltern hatten in den 50er Jahren ein ähnliches Gerät (“percolator”) aus den USA mitgebracht und waren ganz traurig, als nach vielen Jahren auch die letzte Kanne ihren Geist aufgab.Inzwischen gibt es seit einiger Zeit Kaffeebereiter nach diesem Prinzip auch in Europa zu kaufen, auch wenn sie nicht so edel wie die Kannen von früher sind, bei denen ein präziser Schliff zwischen Kanne Aufsatz für einen dichten Abschluss sorgte.Die Gummidichtung des BODUM-Geräts erfüllt ihren Zweck aber auch und der Kaffee wird wirklich ganz ausgezeichnet.Allerdings muss man das Gerät richtig bedienen: Unten genügend Wasser und oben Kaffeepulver einfüllen, sicherstellen, dass der Filtereinsatz richtig eingehakt ist und das Kettchen zur Verhinderung eines Siedeverzugs auf dem Boden der Kanne liegt.Auf den Herd stellen und bei höchster Stufe kochen. Achtung, wenn das Wasser nach oben steigt: Es blubbert kurz und dann muss man warten, bis der Kaffee im oberen Glasballon noch einmal richtig beginnt zu kochen (dannist auch genug Unterdruck da um den Kaffe anschließend wieder nach unten zu saugen) und dann vorsichtig von der Flamme nehmen.KEINESFALLS darf das Wasser in der unteren Kanne vollständig verkochen, weil dann das Glas des Kannenboden zu heiß wird und springen kann (was wohl einzelnen Rezensenten und auch mir schon passiert ist). Wenn man das beachtet, wird man lange Freude an diesem Percolator haben.

Review: Caffettiera ottima. Oggetto elegante, funzionale, di grande effetto di fronte agli ospiti. Facile da pulire in quanto senza filtro “a colino”.Il caffè risulta sempre perfettamente filtrato.Occorre fare qualche tentativo iniziale per capire bene il funzionamento: serve avere pazienza prima di spegnere il fornello quando l’acqua sta bollendo perché la boccia di vetro ha bisogno di scaldarsi. Se la si scalda bene, quando si raffredderà svilupperà abbastaza depressione da risucchiare verso il basso l’acqua col caffè nel giro di una trentina di secondi massimo.Effettivamente all’inizio, presi dalla fretta e scaldando troppo poco la boccia, può capitare che il caffè non venga risucchiato verso il basso ma basta far bollire di nuovo il contenuto per qualche secondo e bon.In conclusione uso questa caffettiera da un anno e ne sono felicissimo. Le facce degli ospiti stupefatti ripagano ampiamente la spesa.Chiaramente è un oggetto fragile da maneggiare con attenzione ma gli accessori inclusi nella scatola sono di grande aiuto.
