There comes that realization your bodum is actually older than most of your co-workers.

For those interested:
I wanted to share that I’ve put in this vintage Bodum coffeemaker at a Catawiki auction. ☕️

Let the bidding begin 😎😅

OK...

BIG trip down memory lane. I remembered writing an article about Bodum 2 decades ago, around the time the eSantos came out. Thanks to Archive dot org, I found it.

2002 was a very interesting and innovative year for Bodum. Back then, they were still fully developing interesting products (today, they mainly buy China-made stuff and rebrand it).

In 2002, they introduced:

- Bodum eSantos
- Bodum eSantos Mini
- The Pavina Line of double wall glass cups, incl espresso
- The first double-walled glass press pot
- three "rapid heat" cordless kettles for coffee making, incl a travel size (mostly plastic)

The Pavina cups remain some of the best glass espresso cups you can buy today, and a lot cheaper than the weirdo, oversized stuff from Kruve and others. And at just $16 for a pair, it's a deal:

Bodum's not a big company, so this was a really big year for them.

The Bodum eSantos is a very interesting beast. They sold the electric Santos in various forms (including Apple iMac colours!) for about 7 years. But for just 2 of those years, they also did a mini model, and only in two colours (clear, smoke grey). I have both.

Bodum used an angled interior base to determine automatically when to shut the water heater off. Two temperature probes under the hot pad, one higher up, one lower down. As water boiled off, and the water level lowered, the upper probe would register over 105C, and shut the heater off, completing the brew.

Lots of plastic too, but BPA free, apparently.

My BODUM coffee press was over 35 years old and the wire mess was unweaving and tossing out longer pointed wires. So today it retired and I bought new one. Different model and hope it too can go 35 years.

May I replace it at 95 with as much casual care. The other did its job well.

I still have this machine on the shelf down in our basement. Fired it up again last summer. Works great.

I should try selling it. Definitely a unique looking #espresso machine. The #Bodum Granos.
