After a few brews with the Santos, no matter how coarse the grind, the Santos was stalling. After five minutes, the coffee was just trickling very slowly south. By that time, the coffee has already been overextracted and it's just a wasted pot. Reading the forums, there were numerous recommendations of using a Cory rod for the Santos as its oem plastic filter is known to be problematic. The only places these are now available, as the Cory is no longer made, is either ebay or antique shops. They are very readily available in ebay so I purchased one there.
The Cory Rod arrives in the mail. Very well packaged to protect the glass.
The glass Cory Rod
Perfect fit. Will brew a pot soon.
Brewed a pot this morning. Didn't have my camera handy, but works well, for now. Did a finer grind than I tried for the Santos and no signs of stalling and clean pot. No grinds made it down the tube. Still don't know how it works as it's just a glass rod, but I guess it's the pores on the bulb of the rod. Will have to be very careful as it's glass on glass.
