The Classic Siphon Brewer for Rich, Aromatic Coffe☕🔥
Experience one of the most theatrical and flavorful ways to brew coffee with the Bodum Santos (Pebo) Vacuum Coffee Maker. Although the beloved electric version has been discontinued, this stovetop model keeps the magic alive—allowing you to enjoy incredible vacuum-brewed coffee anywhere you can supply heat. 🎩✨
Brewing is simple and mesmerizing:
1️⃣ Add up to 1 liter of water to the lower chamber
2️⃣ Attach the upper bowl and add freshly ground coffee
3️⃣ Place on a gas or electric stove
4️⃣ Watch steam pressure force water upward to meet the grounds
5️⃣ Remove from heat and watch the vacuum pull perfectly brewed coffee back down through the filter
The result? Exceptionally clean, aromatic coffee with unmatched clarity—often considered even better than French press. And the show alone captivates everyone watching. 👀💛
This model uses a heavy rubber gasket for an airtight seal and allows easy brew-time control, especially on a gas stove where flame adjustment is instant.

A Look Back: The History of the Santos 📜
In the 1950s, founder Peter Bodum discovered a French vacuum brewer and instantly recognized the potential of siphon coffee. Collaborating with designer Kaas Klaeson, he created the first Bodum Santos, a brewer that became iconic throughout the ’50s–’70s.
The electric version had a brief but passionate following before high production costs ended its run. Today, the stovetop model—soon known exclusively as Pebo—continues that legacy, captivating adults and children alike as boiling water “dances” from chamber to chamber before becoming a rich, aromatic pot of coffee.
Whether light, medium, or dark roast, vacuum brewing brings out exceptional clarity and aroma in every cup. 🌬️☕💫
