Title: Don't Believe the Hype
Review: If you read Amazon's introductory paragraph on this coffeemaker, it challenges the ad copy of many products claiming to be revolutionary, or really different. Well, the Bodum electric Santos really is different -- but is it any better than a standard drip coffee maker? In my experience, not at all. In fact, using the same blend of 8 O' Clock coffee, a friend made a tastier cup using a cheap Procter-Silex drip coffee maker. The only thing one can say positive about the Bodum is that it looks cool, and it is fun to watch. Otherwise it is harder to clean, it requires more coffee than equivalent drip coffee makers, and it costs about three times as much. In short, if you're the CEO of an oil company looking to spend your holiday bonus, the Bodum is your coffee maker. The rest of us can do much better for much less money.
