Product Description
If you ever thought watching the coffee brew was on a par with watching the paint dry, think again! This innovative and visually stunning brewing method is sure to attract an audience, there as much for the show as they are for a cup of joe. Water is heated in the lower jug on the stovetop or a spirit burner and eventually boils up through a funnel where it mixes with the ground coffee, once the coffee is brewed, the coffeemaker grind and brew is removed from the heat and brewed coffee is released back into the lower jug. Equal parts chemistry, theatre, engineering and sculpture, this coffeemaker from Bodum is made for the spotlight.
Amazon.com Review
As beautiful as sculpture, as fascinating as chemistry, and as entertaining as theater, this coffeemaker from Switzerland converts the ordinary process of brewing coffee into an artful performance. And it makes six 5-ounce cups of full-flavored coffee while it entrances. The cup coffeemaker fits together like this: water goes into the carafe, a filter fits into the mouth of a tube in the top globe, ground coffee goes into the globe (a scoop is included), the globe fits atop the carafe with the tube extending into the carafe, and the carafe goes onto the stovetop with a trivet or heat diffuser between it and electric or gas heat. (This is all much simpler and quicker than it sounds.)
Water boils up through the tube into the globe and brews the coffee. When brewing is complete and the carafe has been taken off the stovetop and set into its accompanying sculpted trivet, the coffee drains through the filter into the carafe. The globe can then be lifted off the carafe and set on its stand, and coffee can be poured from the carafe, which has a stay-cool handle. A stopper for the carafe keeps second cups warm while the first cups are sipped. Fully assembled, the glass vacuum coffee maker stands 11-1/2 inches high. It’s made of heat-resistant glass and durable, gleaming nylon, and all parts are dishwasher-safe.
Customer Coffee Senseo Reviews
Great coffeemaker carafe
Don’t get me started! This makes the best coffee I have ever had! The bite that a strong brew seems to always have is gone! The “show” of making a pot is great too! Just a heads up, don’t grind real fine, it clogs the sieve. But if i really want to treat myself to a great cup of coffee, this is how I make it.
Brews a pot of coffee in 6 minutes & is the best cup of coffee
It takes me 6 minutes to make a pot of coffee - much faster than my electric coffee pot. I do not know why so many people have a problem with this coffee pot. I heat the pot on my electric stove burner and I have had no problems. I use regular ground coffee and it does not clog the filter. I rinse the pot daily and put it in the dishwasher once a week. (can you get any easier than that)
Tips for 6 minute coffee:
Fill bottom pot with very hot water (I have a hot/cold water dispenser, but hot tap water would also work.) Put on burner. (make sure handle is not over heat source) While the water is heating, get the top pot and Clean out any old coffee grinds & Rinse the pot. remove filter and rinse it off. Put filter back on top pot.
Put top pot on bottom pot (make sure it is straight and forms a good seal) use 1 level scoop (scoop included with coffee pot) of coffee for each cup of coffee you are brewing - 6 cups = 6 level scoops - put coffee in top pot, cover top pot.
Water should be filling the top pot rapidly, as soon as there is a little water left in the bottom of the pot, slide it off the burner. (I move it 4 inches away to a different part of the stove - it does not need a cool surface, just not a hot surface. ) As soon as all the water moves to the bottom pot, remove the top pot, pour youself a cup. It’s that simple ! No gas powered table burners or fancy gadgets necessary.
