Hello Group! 1st >> thank you distributors for the wonderful beans! This is so much fun.
I need to replace our Bodum Santos
I'd like a reliable brewer for proper temps...
1...not a french press (I take my thermos to work & sip nearly all day).
2...not a stove-top vac pot (I have kids in the kitchen! ..my wife disapproves)
Based on my reading, drip is about my only option.... which leads me to ask what happened to the tabletop electric vac-pot market?
I really liked my Santos. I thought it was the best thing since..., well, OK, to put it bluntly,... sliced bread. Great coffee, fun and lasted for over 4 years.
I do have an aeropress... Love it... but NOT for everyday coffee brewing to take to work, or weekend mornings for that manner. Too much time to prep 8 cups in the morning to put in the thermos.
I'm all about manual. i.e., don't want the timer, auto-grinder, etc. I just want the best cup for the money and my budget is in the $100-150 range. Thank You for any suggestions!!!
