Just checking to see if anyone has any experience with the Bodum Santos siphon brewer. I am interested in finding out if it can be placed directly on my electric stove burner element, as it is described as a stove top siphon brewer. Your input is appreciated,

I haven't, but I have read in the past that most require a coil to distribute heat from an electric.

You can put this directly on an electric burner. I think the more ideal thing is to buy an alcohol burner, but it's not absolutely necessary. I use a vac pot that I put directly over my gas burner. I just don't crank it all the way up and I put already hot water in the bottom part, so that it doesn't require so much heat to bring the water up to the proper temperature.

I couldn't find the article I read, maybe I imagined it?
