Bodum Santos 3000 Electric 12-cup Vacuum Coffee Maker

Description

This coffee maker is an old model, but it is in perfect unused condition, in the original packaging with instruction manual and cleaning brush.
It works on the Cona vacuum principal which makes much better coffee than filter or percolator devices.  The 1.5L pot is filled with water and placed on the electronically-controlled hot plate, with the upper flask inserted into the top and filled with ground coffee.  As the water starts to boil, the pressure of steam above starts to push it up the syphon tube, through a one-way filter and into the flask, mixing it with the coffee at exactly the right temperature.  When all the water has risen, the hot-plate automatically switches off, allowing the coffee to brew for just the right time, until the cooling air in the lower pot causes a vacuum which draws the coffee back down, though the filter and into the pot.  A timer function can be programed to start brewing at any chosen time of day.
I have checked the unit to ensure that it is in working condition.
