Sitting smack in the middle of MePa, The Bodum store has quietly been announcing its expanded presence for the past few years. Founded in 1944 by Peter Bodum, the family owned company has grown from a small Danish design wholesaler into an international powerhouse for good, simple, practical household design.

Wondering if you Bodum Santos fans have used it to make just one cup and if it's just as good?

Laura Laura on Apr 29, 2006

I gave up on Bodum's coffee presses after I pressed down a little to hard in my eagerness for morning coffee, and the glass shattered and cut my hand. Actually, I had two presses before this happened, and a few weeks later, the second one did the same thing. Wisely, I proceeded to a lovable, orange, mini Santos. It functions as Rob describes. Also, it's designed to look a little cockeyed--skewed on its vertical axis--which is fun. The only way you could make bad coffee with the Santos would be to put bad coffee into it. We make it so strong a spoon would stand up in it, but it's never bitter. Pretty nice. And conversations pause to watch it work!
