History Of The Santos
In the fifties, Peter Bodum, the father of today's owner, Jørgen Bodum, imported a French vacuum coffee maker and sold it on the Danish Market. Although he found it both unsatisfactory and expensive, he was convinced that the "vacuum brewing system" was an excellent way to brew an exquisite cup of coffee. Thus the first Bodum Santos vacuum coffee maker was born, in collaboration with Danish designer Kaas Klaeson. The Santos became the premier coffee maker of the fifties through the seventies, and even enjoyed a short-lived, but popular, stint as an electric model until steep production costs broke all of our hearts. The magic of the Santos holds both adults and children spellbound as they watch the boiling water rush from the bottom glass jug to the upper one where it gets mixed with freshly ground coffee. After a few minutes off the stovetop, a vacuum forms in the base which pulls rich black coffee through a filter and back into the bottom jug. This captivating process combines the ideal water temperature with just the right brewing time and makes for superb results. Whatever your preferred coffee and roast, the Santos vacuum system brings out the very best aromas in your cup. Alas, the Santos name will soon permanently change to Pebo, so look for both names for a while. |
