Product Description
Product Description
When Bodum took over a small clarinet factory in Normandy in 1982. It was not because of the fine orchestra clarinets they were producing but because of a relatively unknown coffee maker called the Chambord which they, by coincidence, produced as well. We combined the skills of these Normandy craftsmen with modern production, and the price became affordable to the many people who loved the taste of the coffee brewed in this unique coffee maker, later known as the French press coffee brewer. Thanks to Bodum and thanks to the increasing need for better coffee, the French press coffee maker became one of the most popular coffeemakers in the world. The design has not changed a bit from the original drawings, and we still make the Chambord with the same painstaking care and knowledge we learned from those proud craftsmen in windy Normandy.

This is a very good cafetiere.
The capacity: It can certainly fill 8 espresso cups, the little ones. If you want to go for standard mugs, or breakfast cups, you'll have just over 2 units of either mug or cup. The choice is yours!
It is very unlikely the glass can brake because of a temperature shock, as it is special glass for this kind of circumstances. This is different if the glass is brutally manipulated or if there are strong strikes from within when spooning the coffee in the (just under)boiling water before waiting for 3 minutes and pressing.
When pressing the coffee, do not rush to pour it and wait a few minutes for the coffee to set and avoid the "mud" at the bottom of the cup.
Another way to avoid that "mud" is to grind the beans yourself on a coarse setting, so that the ground is not too fine. The ordinary ground coffee tends to be too fine for cafetiere (better for filter).
If not in a rush to drink the whole cafetiere, and worried about the coffee cooling, you can always use a teapot cover. It works really well to keep the coffee warm. Another way is to use a camping thermos bottle.

I have been brewing my coffee using a french press for years and the difference to filtered coffee is amazing. The flavour is much rounder and better. Coffee oils remain in the coffee and add to the exceptional taste. If you have problems with high colesterol you should stay with filtered coffee since the oils remain in the filter.
Make sure the coffee grind you use was ground for a plunger - it is much more coarse.
Bodum coffee makers look great and are an eyecatcher on any table.
It always earns much admiration when I put it on the table. Usually at least one of the guests hasn't come across a french press before and they are always intrigued and excited when they get to press down the plunger!
Please don't be worried about safety as one review implies. I have never had any problems. Just rinse the cafetière with hot water to prewarm the glass before you add the coffee (keeps the brew hot, too) and press down gently.

Useful and stylish piece of kit
This product is well made, and makes almost a bucketful of coffee. However, unlike at Starbuck's, I have to clean the thing myself. Apart from that, a great buy :)

rubbish
Very shoddy item. The chrome plated steel that holds the glass to the handle started to rust on the first day it was used. Now the rusting is quite bad and it looks a mess. Read more
