A Look Back: The History of the Santos π
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 β50sββ70s.
The electric version had a brief but passionate following before high production costs ended its run. Today, the stovetop modelβsoon known exclusively as Peboβcontinues that legacy, captivating adults and children alike as boiling water βdancesβ 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. π¬οΈβπ«
