Love my french press This is super durable and will last for a long time. All the pieces inside are metal so they won't melt or weaken with heat.
Great product I needed a cheap reliable coffee maker and this was just the fit. I was a bit scared of breaking it the first time I tried to make coffee due to all the reviews of people previously doing so but the press is quite sturdy still it is made out of glass after all and you should be careful with it. The beaker is removable from the stainless steel stand so handwashing it is very easy.
Bodum Chambord French Press I love this product. The reason I gave it 4 stars is the glass turns inside the chrome frame which makes it a bit challenging to pour out the spout. It is a very minor thing. I have tried to tighten it but to no avail. Other than that it makes great coffee and is a high quality product. I would recommend it to friends.
We Love Our Bodium My wife and I love our Saturday morning routine of excellent French press coffee and homemade biscotti.We have tried other brands of press coffee makers and they didn't have near the quality as the Bodum Chambord 8 cup French Press Coffee Maker.Fit and finish is excellent. Well designed with study material and fittings. We are very much appreciative of high standards in craftsmanship and were not disappointed by any means with the quality of this product. It was also very nicely priced.Thank you for helping to make our Saturday ritual so special.
Great Coffee! I'm very happy with this purchase. I've never made my own French press coffee before and now I don't think I can go back. The biggest diference is all the flavorful oils you get to keep using this method. This is a great little device perfect for about one large cup. If you want to make more I suggest a larger press. For those who reviewed this product and said it broke were probably using fine ground coffee instead of the recommended coarse ground. Only light pressure the weight of your hand is needed.
Large Coffee Press Thank goodness I finally repurchased this press. I had one years ago but switched to an automatic coffee maker. We recently moved to Italy and have had trouble finding a reasonably priced working coffee maker. We put away our nice coffee maker because we can't use it due to the voltage issue. After two Severin brand makers broke we decided to go back to the Bodum large press. We love it. The coffee is delicious it is quicker than a coffee maker and no electricity needed. We will also be taking it on our camping trip next month.
Excellent CoffeeCheaply Made Coffee Maker The good news is that this coffee press makes an excellent cup of coffee if you use a coarse grind of quality coffet to begin with. The bad news is that the coffee gets cold quickly so you better be ready to gulp it down or transfer it to an insulated pot. This presents the problem of the coffee cooling as you transfer it from the Bodum press to another container. The coffee press is made in China with all that this indicates. The materials workmanship and parts are not top quality for a product that is not inexpensive. The glass is typical low strength Chinese glass and is prone to break easily. This product is a prime example of why many American manufacturers are returning to the USA to make their products.
Makes for great coffee! Great option for a great cup of coffee. I highly recommend making coffee this way.
Its awesome buy it I lived in Europe for 5 years have an expresso maker at home have explored vacuum coffee pots percolators and have searched with no success for an american made coffee pot. I bought a cheap ge china made pot that was all plastic and made the coffee taste like gasoline and I threw it away I should have returned it. I had a friend that used to make coffee at work using a bodom press and he would give me the leftover and it was probably the best coffee I had ever had. So after exploring all the other types of coffee makers I purchased one. It does require a bit more cleanup as you have to rinse out the grounds or shake them out over the trash. I rinse it through a strainer to catch the grounds. I had friends over a few weeks ago and our party was fading out quickly everyone was yawning. I brought out the bodom press and made a some coffee for everyone. It was a big hit. They loved it and said they might have to get one as well. And after the coffee was made the party picked up and went on for hours. I need to get a little one now for before work as I don't need 8 cups in the morning. It probably makes the best cup of coffee I've ever had.
Also GREAT for looseleaf tea howto guide for tea The Hyatt Regency Kowloon served looseleaf Chinese tea to me using this exact model. I was so impressed with effectiveness of it for brewing tea that while still on my business trip on HK I ordered one on Amazon.com so it would greet me upon arriving home. My family members wife her parents are mainland Chinese also fell in love with it for brewing their tea. And they are VERY picky about how to brew tea!The proper usage for steeping looseleaf tea is1 put dry tea leaves in bottom then pour in roughly 1/2 cup of water some use hot water some prefer cold warer. Let sit for 30 sec approx. Then put the Bodum plunger strainer in so you strain the water as you now pour out the water. You've now washed your tea. Always wash your loose leaf tea.2 Pull out the plunger and pour in 8 cups hot but not boiling water. Immediately put the plunger in BUT ONLY INSERT IT ENOUGH SO THAT THE STRAINER HAS JUST SUBMERGED APPROX ONE CM UNDER WATER. Why? Many people make the mistake of plunging strainer all the way down to bottom. You don't do that until you are ready to pour the tea. While brewing you want the plunger down just enough to prevent leaves from floating up to the air/surface interface but still allowing the tea leaves as much water as possible to swim in so they can freely steep.
