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.

In case you're wondering how the Cuptimo works, it creates a vacuum in the carafe or brewing vessel, to draw the no-bypass brewed coffee down faster. There's not many videos out there on the brewer, but here's one from the maker, in German.

A pour over device... with a squeeze plunger thingie. For creating a vacuum. To draw down the liquid faster. How does it work?

It creates a seal between brewer and carafe. The vacuum is formed in the carafe. Drawing down the liquid.

It's the Cuptimo, and we're doing a mini review on it, coming soon!

Nancy Olson (actor) about to make William Holden (actor) a siphon coffee in Sunset Boulevard (1950)

The siphon she is using is an 8 cup General Electric "space age" siphon, including an electrical heater stand (nb, the last photo, showing the unit on the shelf). I bought one of these back in 2003 on eBay. Still works too!
