Bodum ePebo Electric Vacuum Coffee Maker, 34 oz

The Bodum ePebo is a 34 oz electric vacuum coffee maker that automates siphon brewing, with a borosilicate glass funnel and BPA-free Tritan jug. I’d choose it when I want to watch the brewing process without managing a separate burner.

Why I like it

I like the visible movement of siphon brewing, but I don’t always want the hands-on heating routine of a traditional setup. The ePebo handles the brewing cycle with automatic temperature control. I still choose the coffee and recipe, while the electric base takes care of heating. That makes it a different option from the manual siphons I’d bring out when I want to manage each stage myself.

The material choices are worth knowing before buying. The upper funnel is heat-resistant borosilicate glass, so I can watch the brew, while the jug is BPA-free Tritan rather than glass. I’d rather make that distinction clear than describe the entire brewer as glass. The integrated reusable filter also gives me a brewing routine that doesn’t revolve around keeping disposable filters on hand.

I’d use the 34 oz size for coffee to share or a longer morning at home. The warming function runs for up to 30 minutes, which is useful when everyone isn’t ready to pour at once. I’d still brew an amount I expect to drink and keep the filter and chambers clean between sessions, rather than expect automatic brewing to remove every part of the routine.

Good to know

Do I need a separate burner?
No. The ePebo uses an electric base to heat and run the vacuum brewing cycle.

Is the whole brewer glass?
No. The funnel is borosilicate glass and the jug is BPA-free Tritan. I’d follow the care instructions for each material.

Can I put whole beans straight into it?
I’d grind the beans before brewing. This is a vacuum coffee maker, not a bean-to-cup grinder machine.
