    Pros: No paper filter needed.
    Cons: Glass beaker can break.

    Pros: Easy to make, reasonable cost, elegant service
    Cons: Won't keep coffee hot. Depends on the best coffee, ground perfectly right.

    Summary: Introduction Some people consider the Bodum Chambord Press the "King" of coffee making methods. Now, this claim has been made by many coffee methods, for example: The Santos vacuum pot (a chem lab glass device that vacuums the brewed coffee ... read more

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Apr 19, 2007
    Pros: It is easy to use.
    Cons: It was more expensive.

    Summary: 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 ... read more

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

    Summary: The French press has been around for decades in Europe, an easy alternative to pricier espresso machines and Italian stovetop Moka pots. Bodum is the foremost name in quality French press pots (styles include the Chambord, Brazil, Kenya, and Eileen), and ... read more

    Mar 13, 2007
    Pros: Really, REALLY good coffee.
    Cons: This is no fire-and-forget coffee machine.

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • A cheap, poorly designed french press

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jan 13, 2007
    Pros: Inexpensive
    Cons: Poorly designed filter mechanism with sharp, rough edges, flimsy construction of questionable origin

    Summary: 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 ... read more

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

    Summary: 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 ... read more

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

    Summary: 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
