Lin Phillips (quality: 8.8)	01.20.2002	Rating: 7.4
Bottom Line: This a good introduction to vacuum brewing for neophytes who are intimidated by the more traditional alcohol fueled apparatus.

Tarik Ghbeish (quality: 8.8)	04.22.2002	Rating: 7.4
Bottom Line: For good or ill, this makes a pretty good pot of coffee and despite fears, it has performed well for me under light and heavy use.

Michael Harmon (quality: 8.5)	06.20.2004	Rating: 9.0
Bottom Line: One man's quest to a hassle-free cleaning of the Bodum vac pot.

Karl Keyes (quality: 8.5)	10.05.2005	Rating: 7.6
Bottom Line: I'd buy it again, but think Bodum should seriously think about re-designing the length of the dip tube. It definitely works better with that 1/4" removed.

Jim Pellegrini (quality: 8.3)	02.08.2002	Rating: 7.8
Bottom Line: Good first vac pot, provided you can use or stand to throw away the massive quantities it produces.

Bottom Line: Makes a great cup of coffee! Worth the money! Easier than French Press! Fun to watch!

Bongo BCBeanBoy (quality: 8.0)	12.24.2001	Rating: 8.4
Bottom Line: Try the Nirvana Utopia Buckmeister Barista Vacuumer Pretentious Name Mark One, you‘ll like it.

Robert Cantor (quality: 7.8)	12.23.2001	Rating: 8.8
Bottom Line: makes the best tasting coffee of any brewer and the easiest vac pot to use. Get it!

Eric Evans (quality: 7.3)	05.10.2001	Rating: 4.4

Irene and Lubos Palounek (quality: 7.3)	08.07.2001	Rating: 9.2

Stewart Bryant (quality: 7.3)	12.05.2003	Rating: 8.4
Bottom Line: Coffee that is hot, regret it you will not, much better than a drip, and you will love the trip!
