Picked up an eight cup Bodum vacuum coffee pot, and it makes the absolute best coffee.

It is also a science experiment as it boils the water in the bottom chamber which forces the water up a tube into the top chamber where the grounds are.

When the water is out of the bottom chamber turn off the heat source and as it cools the coffee returns to the bottom chamber leaving the grounds in the top chamber.

Due to higher temperature water than an electric coffee pot the coffee is bolder tasting and so so smooth.
