I have a "gas-fired" Bodum Santos. It makes excellent coffee, but I
tend not to use it because it requires much more of my attention
(waiting for the boil, making sure the coffee makes it all the way
up and all the way down) than my automatic drip coffeemaker. I also
refuse to put it in the dishwasher, so it has to be cleaned by hand
-- another intervention I don't make with the ADC.
