In the mid-50's Peter Bodum imported a French vacuum coffee maker in cooperation with one of Denmark's first product designers, the architect Kaas Klaeson. Their slogan, 'design should not be expensive,' is one that Bodum still stands for! Product development in 50's Denmark needed a pioneer's vision. From the first model, called Mocca, to the highly successful Santos, Peter Bodum improved both the practical aspect of the vacuum coffee system and the quality of the coffee brewed in it. In creating a coffee maker to use on the stovetop as well as on a spirit burner at the table, he bridged the gap between everyday use and special events. His new, revolutionary nylon filter achieved a break-through in coffee brewing quality, far overshadowing the existing cotton and glass filters on the market. This patented filter strained coffee to a fine, tasteful and still aromatic coffee with nearly no sediments left over in the cup - a feat no coffee filter of the time was capable of. With its patented 'valve sealing' a safety issue was solved by preventing too high of a vacuum to be formed. Santos became the coffeemaker of the 50's, 60's and a good part of the 70's. Its popularity grew to the point you could find a Santos in nearly every Scandinavian home.
The magic of Santos and Peter Bodums' other glass coffee makers held people spellbound! People wanted to follow the visual wonder of water rising into the funnel and its mysterious return as black coffee into the serving jug. A unique physical process with the ideal balance between the 201 F water and just the right brewing time, extracting the finest aroma from all types of coffee.
