Pros: Really GREAT coffee, well constructed, easy to clean, inexpensive.
Cons: Very Minor: Plastic inner-lid, no graduated markings.

Caff-fiend. That's the proper term to describe me. I enjoy a good cup of coffee almost as much as, well… it's actually hard to describe it and stay 'PG'. That said, I've been searching for that perfect cup at home for a while now. My search has ...

Pros: Excellent coffee.
Cons: It needs more attention than automatic machines.

The French Press, or press pot, is an example of simplicity that works wonders, and the Bodum Chambord is an example of that simplicity well executed. Combined with hot water, quality beans, and a good grinder the ...

Pros: Really, REALLY good coffee.
Cons: This is no fire-and-forget coffee machine.

That means, "The Coffee is Really Good" in French. At least, that's what an on-line translator says, and I'll trust it because...the coffee from this French press is really good. Some background would be in order. I've been drinking coffee ...

Pros: Inexpensive
Cons: Poorly designed filter mechanism with sharp, rough edges, flimsy construction of questionable origin

I have tried 3 different Bodum presses, and they weren’t worth writing home about. I used and returned their Chambord, Melior, and Bistro Nuevo models. Well, I didn't actually use the Melior; however, when I saw it was essentially a Chambord, I ...

Pros: It is easy to use.
Cons: It was more expensive.

The metal frame "Chambord 1928" french press by Bodum is the best style that they make. It is elegant looking, easy to use and the size is perfect. I had the black plastic style of Bodum french press before, but it broke by accident and I, being a slave ...

Pros: Coffee as it was meant to be tasted!
Cons: Beaker can scratch, filter and plunger must be taken apart for frequent cleaning

Pros: small, cheap, stylish, and simple
Cons: makes only one cup at a time. not good for a group of people.

I have one of these. I bought it instead of a more expensive, complicated and over-featured coffee maker because I generally make only one cup at a time. It is a great little press and costs nothing compared to a coffee maker, takes up little room and looks cool left out on the counter or up on a shelf. Also, it cleans up nicely by just running it through the dish washer.
