I began collecting Sunbeam Coffeemaster vacuum pots about 25 years ago. I have a couple of functional C20s, C30, C30A, C30B, C30C. The only real changes in the C30 is the molded bakelite rectangular opening around the kickdown switch. I have several in brand new mint condition even still have the shelf tags. I also have the stainless tray and cream/sugar set. I have my perfect display pieces, and some good solid users. I don't drink as much coffee as I used to though, so they just don't get the call of duty that often. I had a Bodum arty-farty plastic vacuum pot. Like most newer pots, it doesn't allow enough steep time. It died after making less than 50 pots of coffee. I also have the smaller version of it. KitchenAid came out with a vac pot a few years back. Again, steep time is almost nonexistent - it kicks down as soon as the upper bowl fills and if you want strong coffee you have to use about half a pound. I fixed that by using a tubing cutter to shorten the dip tube by about 5/8 to 3/4 of an inch. This keeps the lower pot from going dry so quickly so allows for 2-3 minutes of steep time. That one still works well. The C50 I'm not a fan of - the tick-tock type kickdown switch... well, it has a very bad habit of kicking back UP when you just lift the pot to pour. I had the bottom pot boil away on me - what a mess! So I have the C50 in the collection, but I don't use it. I don't like the cloth filters - I have some of the rubber-rimmed fine mesh stainless filters that I prefer. I've had several of my C30 bottoms just quit, and I retired them. The cool thing about the KitchenAid glass pot, the C30 with the glass top bowl (WW2 era), and even the Bodum Santos glass pot that you have to supply your own heat, is that you can watch the action. Very cool. I had enough functional C30 series pots to give away some as gifts to family members, but not sure if they get any regular usage. They are a pain to clean. The KitchenAid is an exceptional pain to clean due to the shape and size of the bottom pot opening. A company for a time was selling new replacement seals for the C30s. I've had some nice ones where the rubber was simply to hard to get the thing together... or apart. So handy to have the replacements. I am not sure where I stashed them but I have them somewhere....

By the way, there is an altitude/brew time adjustment if you open the bottom plate of the C30. We are at 1 mile altitude in the foothills of the Rockies. This made a big difference for us; most brew systems don't have such an adjustment available.

We love our C30C, and have been using it for over a decade. They are not steel, they are chromed solid copper. (Test with a magnet to verify.) Yours needs a new rubber seal, which were available when we needed one a few years ago - it will be much easier to separate and join the bubbles with newer rubber in between. We get roasted African coffee beans from Montana Coffee Traders, and hand grind in my grandfather's wall mounted grinder... the coffee is true luxury.

Before watching this video today 7.2.2024, I bought some Pete's dark roast Major. Dickason's blend. Although I roast my own coffee at home, I still buy brand names I have liked in the past. I get tired of my own coffee. I have been drinking Pete's for over a year. I tend to like dark roast over med or light. Pete's is some good coffee from the grocer store. So is Blue Bottle Bold.

I always assumed I should wait to add the coffee until the top was full, but I’ll have to give this a try. Would love to see an update video if there has been any further optimization in your method over the years.

Ok, I think I'll have to try both. I have a cone drip maker with paper filters for three years now. I was thinking to buy another one of a bigger size, and since there is a difference in taste, I'll order a flat drip c-maker. And another 500 paper filters pack :)

Love you guys! Can't wait for the new episodes on July 15th!!

Interesting indeed, great video, fun and informative

Delightful and nicely done

I love buttery!

I personally don't like natural processed bean. They taste too sweet, mellow, and very soft acidity. I think it is well suited to those who are not regular coffee drinker, at a premium price though.

Man, that copper coloured lever machine in the background is a killer. Call me vain...😂 About date, I think best use by is no more than 1 month since roast date. Once I bought a batch, 10 packs of 250 grams fresh roasted coffee from local roastery. These are all for my consumption. I noticed there is definite degradation once I got past 1 month. There is a sense of staleness much like old used cooking oil.

You bring up a good point about dates on the coffee package. Some companies put the roast date, but many put only best by date!! I tend to get only the coffees that have a roast date as I don't trust the bags that only have best by dates. Maybe I'm missing some good coffees? Maybe a discussion on what nitrogen flush is and how long the coffee will last if packaged correctly might be in order!

Well done extremely fun

I roast my oun green coffee beans and you never know how long they been sitting in the where house.

So much fun to watch, superbly done ☕️☕️😊

Excited to see all the coffees by celebs. Thanks.

God dammit man I was really hoping you'd bash this thing so I could keep this hundred bucks in pocket

You all are really terrific!!!!

Love Ken’s tasting notes analysis. Well hosted by Kevin.

Love this channel, thank you!

Ethiopia The origin of coffee

I’m no coffee connoisseur by any means. My limited understand is that African coffees in general tend to be more fruity, winey, acidic, and lighter body while Latin American coffees in general tend to be fuller bodied with more chocolatey, nutty notes (which is what I prefer). I’m wondering if there’s an African or any other coffee you can recommend that would closer to my preferences. Thanks

Promo-SM 😻

Nice video, great fun evaluation on Colombian coffee, what brew ratio, coffee maker, grinder and water was used for the comparison and evaluations?

Super fun chat on Columbia Coffee, nicely done

Great video. I would love to see you guys taste test Columbian coffees from producers like Deigo Bermudez who are doing amazing experimental processing.

Man, I love these episodes. I wonder if people understand what treat it is have these two amazing gentleman greats doing this. This is Gold. Thank you!

10g for 4 oz...only in america

Great video fun and informative

Lots of fun, good stuff

I would love to see you guys taste specialty single origin dark roasts. The roaster from Japan, Lilo, has great dark roasts. I have notice you have to go to Japan or Korea for amazing dark roasts. They sell a lot of them at my local coffee shop's website Kumquat Coffee.

Loquat roasters from Los Angeles has a 100% Kona that is pretty affordable and taste amazing.

Time to do a comparison between 100% Kona coffees!

Edit: sound issues were all my own. Love y'alls videos!

Sweet, so much fun to watch.

I never drink coffee nor any drink when its piping hot. I always let them cool down to 130-140 range or cooler before drinking. Its a pleasant side benefit that coffee tastes better after cooling

Really fun and interesting video, nicely done

Nice video, fun, interesting and informative, superbly done.

Love to see more with light and medium roasts, great fun

☕️☕️😊 Great Video, Fun and Informative

Ken's been my coffee hero since the 80's

Gotta love a coffee named after an electric guitar pickup!

Love these episodes ☕️☕️😊

Fun and interesting tasting notes, with Hans without milk

I use Peet's Coffee House Blend Decaf. It is not a 'BOLD' dark roast. I call it a 'SAFE' dark roast. I like to add chicory to it and use a french press.

Peet's ♡ My favourite stop in Redmond, WA after a bracing walk. Great people, and my favourite coffee chain by a mile.
