CoffeeKid - The Vacuum Brewer FAQ (#)
„All of these inventions sought a way to force water through finer and finer ground coffee, because they both worked on the theory that the finer the ground, the better the extraction. When a coffee is ground too finely, water cannot pass through it using simple gravity, so further "aids" to passing water through fine coffee grounds was sought out, and the principles of steam and gas expansion and contraction, much the rage in this time period, was seen as a solution, creating greater force to move the coffee than only simple gravity force could do.“

CoffeeKid - The New Bodum Santos
„And for the last word on the new Bodum, the brewing quality compared to manual vacpots is middle of the road. One owner told me months ago that they have a Cona and a Hario brewer and find that those manual devices brew a better cuppa compared to the new Santos. Another owner loves it - it is their first vac pot, and compared to their traditional auto drip machine. I'll have to wait till I get one :-)“

CoffeeKid - Vacuum Brewer Hey Day
„In North America, and possibly the rest of the world (still checking on this), the vacuum coffee brewer had its Golden Age in the 1930s and 1940s. Even in the 1950s, vacuum brewed coffee was the standard in many kitchens, and even on ships in the US Navy, where many a glass Cory lived and died. The 1960s saw the decline of this device, as fewer and fewer manufacturers made them, and by the 1970s when the auto drip took off, vacuum brewing all but died in North America.“

„and pouring water into a drip brewer. Making espresso is rocket science compared to using Mr Coffee. Many people who buy home espresso machines are surprised at the complexity of the process and at how difficult espresso is to make consistently well. They are disappointed they cannot make cappuccinos or latte’s that taste like they came from their favorite coffee bar.“
