Its a shame your not getting any good results with the Santos. Its a tricky beast and i found it quite specific to grind/dose. The perfect balance is there somewhere. Great to hear your enjoying a nice new Cafe Solo - i suppose it is a little similar to a cafetiere, just implemented in a much more pleasing fashion! But there must be something else... ...I'll get back to you on that. Hi Maria!

And I am fully satisfied, it works really well. And I was so surprised that the coffee doesn't get overextracted even at the second cup. But what makes it different from a French press really? The principle is so similar.... I had to buy one yesterday – couldn’t wait testing it! And I am fully satisfied, it works really well.

Stephen M has been going on about how good it is, and when I've stayed with him he's made some great coffee from it. It was just that it was almost too pretty, if you know what I mean. However, a lot about it makes sense and I suspect that one shall be bought soon! (Grinder wise I am beginning to worry my Bunn is producing too many fines at the coarser grinds - need to fire the R2D2 up for a comparison!)

Yeah, the Danes are pretty good at making coffee devices (Bodum is Danish too), although I am very disappointed with my recently bought Bodum Santos, which just boils the coffee for minutes, making all coffees taste stale and bitter. I will buy an Eva Solo instead now! Did you know the Eva Solo is Danish Design?
