BodumChambord, 0.350 oz, Chrome

After my first attempt at using a french press this morning - I came to realization that clearly I never had a really good cup of home-brewed coffee in my life - until today. It is as if I am born again! DON'T be afraid to try a french press. Really. It isn't hard at all. There are lots of videos on YouTube that will show you how easy it is. Regarding this specific model, I got the silver and it is very attractive and beautifully made. I know some people don't really like the lock top, but I do. I have cats that like to get into everything and don't want to take the chance of one of them knocking it over. The one thing I did wrong on this first attempt was that I accidentally lock-aligned the spout with the handle. When I went to pour I realized it, and turned the top around. You will see there is an arrow on the top. That little arrow must face the spout when the lid is locked down. The locking mechanism is two grooves that simply slide in place as you turn the top. It's easy. Another thing I almost forgot to do was pour the remaining coffee into a separate carafe so that the brew doesn't keep brewing. But I caught it in time. I kept the remaining serving in a large cup in the microwave which you can easily reheat for 30 seconds. I guess that can be the only downside of using a french press. If you are serving more than two people, or like to drink lots and lots of coffee, it may not be so efficient. As for cleanup: buy a toothbrush to scrub the grains away from the screen. French press brewing is not hard, it's just different from what most of us are used to. I am going to love the ritual of this method!

The Bodum french press coffee maker did a good job making fine coffee. However, the 5th time I used it, the glass broke. And the text I received from the company basically intimated that I had mistreated the product. When first contacting them, I did tell them that I had read all the instructions and did abide by them.

I have always bought Bodum tea pots, which have a plunger to stop the tea from brewing, but the small one is too rounded and does not pour well. The larger teapot’s infuser holes do not go to the bottom so you have to make more than you may want. So I tried this one in a smaller size, 17 oz, and it is better for tea than their tea pots! The locking lid allows you to pour every drop one handed without holding the lid (like the tea pots).

Only issue, is the glass beaker does not have a way to secure it in the bottom part, so if you forget, and go to dump the grounds, the whole think comes out....so we broke the glass within 48 hours of owning it....with a little caution is should be ok....love the top that keeps the heat in. Don't love the way it pours the water into the kettle - again, without the lid, the glass slides right out. I recommend putting the water in the beaker, put the top on and then pour the water into the kettle....otherwise there is no spout and the water goes all over the place....I ordered another glass beaker and with these precautions, it's been fine.

This new model has a fully enclosed bottom so the glass bottle is better protected. This is especially important to me since I take it with me on camping trip. Not just a better design, it is better looking too.There is always some coffee ground coming through the filter. But you shouldn't expect a coarse stainless steel filter will do as a good job as a paper filter.The locking feature at the lid is good to have. But if I have a choice, I wouldn't pay for it since I think that is really not necessary.Overall a great product with great craftsmanship.

This is the worst French Press I have ever used The top is ungainly and difficult to get on. Over engineered. Also, the coffee sometimes leaks under the metal frame.

The product worked great, used it in college when I couldn't have a coffee maker in my dorm. HOWEVER, I went to wash it, and and the glass shifted when I tried to remove the lid. It had cracked, and I wish I was joking when I say that it was the DAY AFTER the warranty expired. So pick up a replacement glass piece at the same time.

Solid, easy to clean,easy to pour and makes a great cup of coffee.

Todo perfecto, no me arrepentí, la uso unas 2-3 veces al día y ahorro montón lo que antes gastaba para los pésimos cafés de Starbucks y otras franquicias

Saveur incomparable! Un vrai bon café que je me réserve car volume pour 3 tasses. Le système de fermeture n'est pas forcément très pratique, il faut le coup de main...

The gasket and press lever makes the difference. So far, only Bodum makes this.

プレゼント用に購入。自分用にもほしいです。

Le design est épuré, la partie "filtre" est identique aux autres modèles (piston à 3 grilles), mais le plus c'est le bec verseur : le couvercle de la cafetière est équipé d'un joint qui maintient le café au chaud. Il faut appuyer au dessus de l'anse pour libérer le contenu.Je recommande ce produit
