This is the one that I got. Worth every penny. I only use it on weekends because it's a bit more involved than other methods, but I love it.

I am using a Bodum Vacuum Coffee Maker, and I've got it locked in pretty nicely.

A few things to consider:

• Get a stirrer. I think the one on Amazon when I bought that maker was like 6 bucks, and it helps make sure all your grounds are soaking.
  
  
• Give it time. I prefer to set my stovetop to 4 (out of 7), and let it slowly come to a boil. When I went to 5, 6, and 7, it gave the coffee a bit of a burnt taste. At 4, or even 3, it took a little while to fill the upper chamber, but the result was a very clean tasting coffee.
  
  
• Be prepared to have some sediment. I had to play with the grind a bit, and I am the largest grind while still being small enough to extract, and I get a good bit of left over. My brew is usually pretty good in flavor so I can't complain too much.
  
  It's a neat contraption, and it produces a lighter coffee overall. I had a few friends try it, and they preferred it black over anything else. Kinda cool!

Sort of like this?

Bodum Santos Stovetop Glass Vacuum 34-Ounce Coffee Maker

is there a particular reason there isn't much love for vacuum makers in this subreddit? i've been using the bodum vacuum maker for a while now and love it; however, i have no experience using a chemex or aeropress, so i can't make a comparison. i don't have any intention of switching over anytime soon, but if i'm missing out on something even more wonderful, it'd be awesome to know.

i'm relatively new, so it's possible that i just haven't seen anyone else talking about it much.

edit: i'm using this one

I just broke my french press and have been looking at getting a vacuum coffee maker as a replacement. Can anyone tell me about how well it works? eg. how long it takes to brew?

EDIT: now in gif form

i love coffee, but don't drink it quite as often as i used to, probably bc i work at bucks and am kind of bored with it :D i am actually a big tea drinker now. i black teas like earl grey and irish breakfast. my favorite coffee drink would have to be just a simple iced coffee with lots of cream and some sort of sweetener. i love the gingerbread syrup bucks gets in the winter. my favorite way to make coffee is via my coffee press. it's so simple and really tastes the best. i've always wanted to try the glass vacuum coffee makers--one of my friend's aunts had one and i was amazed--but they're too pricey for my light coffee habit.

i would imagine it might pull with less acid and if the filter is good less sediment than french so ima go smoother less gritty less acidic cup compared to french i mean it should be close to a Moka pot which to me is a similar method using Bernoulli's principle of fluid dynamics using heat to produce a pressure change and then taking away said heat but ya know coffee is about consistency if your timing is the same and temp the same on your french press you can just get different beans to change your cup but learning all the ways is good too if you wanna try it at home https://www.amazon.com/Bodum-Vacuum-Coffee-Maker-Black/dp/B00005NCX5

Anyone ever use The Santos?

Vacuum Coffee Maker

This is the one my wife got me. Just has two cups this morning (Illy)...best coffee ever.

It really makes good coffee. My parents had a classic Danish Bodum Santos since the Eighties, and I have had one for fifteen years now or so.

Making coffee with it really doesn't have to be as … elaborate as shown in the video. Due to its design, the water seems to hit the coffee at a very good temperature and it produces a very nice and mellow flavor. Just make sure you have a rather rough grind, and the rest is almost fire and forget.

I only watched parts... But don't see how this is all that different from a method that has been used for decades: Bodum Pebo Vacuum Coffee Maker, 8 cup, 1.0 l, 34 oz., Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00005NCX5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_f4ksxbTJW4P34

There are a ton of great ways to brew coffee, but sadly a drip machine is probably not among them unless you're willing to fork over the dough for a Bunn or similarly well-designed machine. If you find that your coffee is bitter it's probably because you're brewing too long or your water is way too hot.

A french press is my go-to methond, but my favorite sexy way to brew coffee is with one of these. It's science so you know it has to be good.

And because it can never be said enough: 1. Do not freeze/refrigerate your beans. Ever. 2. Do not use flavored coffee beans in anything that will ever be used for unflavored coffee again. The flavor oils get everywhere, and they will get rank over time.
