 great coffee in a small pot November 25, 2008
Press pots make great tasting coffee. I love this little press pot that makes up to 3 cups because I'm a 2-cupper person. There's space for pressing that I didn't have in a previous 2-cup pot. It's important to allow enough space at the top so that coffee doesn't spill out. The only flaw is that the stainless steel holder rusts on the carafe unless the carafe is removed and all pieces wiped dry before using again.
 Our first French press -- we've retired the drip coffee maker November 25, 2008
The 8 cup (remember-that's 8 four ounce cups) Bodum Chambord is our first ever French press. My wife and I have long enjoyed fine coffees. We kept hearing and reading that a French press produced the finest flavored cup. To see if we would be able to taste the difference my wife and I asked the folks at our local Starbucks if they would make our favorite blend with their French press. WOW! We came home, did some research and bought the Bodum Chambord. Having used it now for about six weeks we have stored away the drip coffee maker for those times when we have company and need to make 12 cups (American 8 oz. cups) at a time. We find that since the coffee from the French press is much richer we are satisfied with the quantity produced by one pot full. Since there is no warming plate beneath this pot I thought at first that I should have purchased the more expensive double wall pot for its thermal properties. But, then I remembered that my Scottish grandmother always kept her teapot hot on the table by covering it with a "tea cozie." That did the trick for us. You may need to experiment with the grind of your coffee. We've learned that if the grind isn't coarse enough the plunger is hard to press down and you will have to learn to avoid a layer of fine sludge at the bottom of your cup. A higher quality grinder will be under our Christmas tree. Cleaning the pot and its internal workings is a breeze. Parts of it are dishwasher safe but it's so easy I prefer to wash it by hand. We have read complaints about the carafe being cheap and easy to break. We don't agree. Just use a little care when you remove it from the stand (that facilitates washing). If you do happen to break the carafe replacements are readily available. As you have probably guessed we highly recommend this product.
Love it! November 24, 2008
Had a different Bodum model previously (unfortunately broke the carafe in the sink) but this model is so much easier to clean: the filter comes apart easily (all the pieces screw together at the base of the press)and the carafe comes out of the stainless steel handle/base. works great, easy to clean.
Does exactly what it's supposed to do. November 23, 2008
This is the standard 8-cup french press. It does exactly what it's supposed to do. I've owned a plastic version of this press for years and loved it until it broke. This is the exact replacement, except hopefully slightly more resilient.
After reading some reviews complaining about the size or about scalding burns I was wondering if something had changed in the design, or if it was in some way different than my old one - it's not. I'm guessing people might just be a little overly excited about pressing the plunger. It has happened to enough people that there are several warnings in the instructions. This one has an extra little bit of plastic in the lid that looks like an open/close feature, but I don't see any added benefit from it, nor drawbacks.
"8-cup" in this case is not an 8 fl oz cup. But this is the standard size that you see at coffee shops or restaurants, generally for 2-4 people.
French Press October 24, 2008
The Perfect Cup of Coffee!!! Absolutely my favorite product to make my coffee. I've been changing products for years, and this is the best and easiest for clean-up (well, the Keurig is easier -- yet the Keurig is honestly a piece of junk). I really recommend this French Press!
