BodumBrazil Three Cup French Press Coffee Maker - Black, 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)

It is too bad that I have to write at least 20 words about this product, because I could sum up everything I need to say by writing "three cups my ass." But that is only four words, so I guess I better write some more.I want to start with the disclaimer that i really do like Bodum products. They are well made. Could they be a little more affordable than what they are? Sure, but they are fairly priced considering what else is out there. Anyway, I just got a new electric kettle, and I got this cool Bodum one. The downside is it is a small kettle, which I didn't mind so much. Only 4 cups for the kettle. That actually makes 4 cups. But I figured since my old 8-cup french press broke in a move, instead of getting another one that I wouldn't be able to fill all the way up, I would get a 3 cup one. That would be plenty. I typically only drink 2 or 3 cups, so that would be fine, especially since my kettle only does 4 cups.Then I open the box for this damn thing and I am like seriously? I didn't realize Bodum was based out of Munchkinland, because there was no way in hell this would hold 3 cups of coffee. The entire thing is nearly smaller than a NORMAL SIZED coffee mug. I fill this thing and I get one cup of coffee out of it. And I am not talking about 1 cup in one of those giant Fiesta soup mugs that I see insane people use as coffee mugs sometimes because they want to see how much coffee they have to drink before their heart explodes. Those things will hold like an entire pot of coffee. I am talking about a regular sized, normal people coffee mug. One cup. That's all. Totally lame. I have these tiny coffee mugs that were liberated from the iHop, and they are small. Not a full cup of coffee will be held in them. You eat at iHop all the time, you know what I am talking about, Tex. I can barely fill 2 of those at best. Typically it is coming up way short unless you want to add like 1 cup of half and half to it. It's fine for when it's just me, and it's a good excuse for not making breakfast and just giving the girl bus fare and sending her on her merry way in the morning, but still.Anyway, three stars because the quality of it is good. Bodum products are good, this is no exception. It's just not meant for people as much as it is meant to be an accessory for Barbie's Foreclosure Dream House. Or if you were going to just put a rubber nipple over it so your newborn infant child can experience the joys of coffee from a french press, because they are babies and they shouldn't be having more than one cup of coffee anyway.

I have purchased a french press in the past from Bodum. I like the model where you can remove the glass part from the plastic easily. I think you can remove this one but you have to lift up a clip on the handle and I feel like I will break the glass if I do. It is also a little awkward to remove the lid/strainer part. Not difficult you just have to twist it a little instead of lifting it straight up like the last one I had. I read many reviews on french press coffee makers and many complained that they were much smaller than they thought. But in Europe a cup is only 4 ounces. So a 12 oz french press is considered 3 cups in Europe. I broke the glass on my last one and found out there is only $5.00 difference between buying a replacement glass verses getting a whole new one. So I bought the complete unit. My husband is the coffee drinker and he loves the french press. Just boil water, put the coffee ground up in the glass part, add the lid/strainer part, wait for as long as you like to get the strength you want, then press the plunger and you have a perfect 1cup American size mug of coffee. The only I gave it 3 stars was because I liked the 1st model I bought better. Everything else was fine. Fast shipping and easy to purchase.

If you want a simple, inexpensive one person/one good-sized serving of coffee, don't bother going to Walmart or Bed&Bath for their lowest priced model. This is the best one you will find for the price.Some notes: I don't know why they say "3-cup" because that depends on the size of your cup. This makes 12oz of product. Some other reviews mentioned that the strainer is one solid piece. Mine comes apart and reassembles perfectly so don't worry about being able to clean it. The plastic case looks like this will be hard to break even though it is real glass (WAY better than the "unbreakable" ones). But the plastic is sharp and I have to clean carefully so I don't cut myself on the notches along the rim.The only other bad point is that it seems to cool down fast, so I have to wrap it while brewing.But the seal is strong and the filter works very well as long as you don't grind your beans too fine.

I've had this press for over a year and a half now and it's perfect for the office. I'm the only one that drinks decaf so I make it myself instead of in the office coffee machine, and usually only a single mug - by "cup" they mean "coffee cup" which different people and brands define as anywhere from 4-6 ounces, hence the "3 cup" on this one - so this is perfect for me. I make sure to use a coarse grind in it and a few little grounds here and there might sometimes still get into my mug but overall this does a great job of brewing a decent mug of coffee. This fills up my mug just to the right level and it's easy to wash. I'd recommend it to anyone.

This french press makes just the right amount of coffee for a single serving. I've had really good luck with the press but your coffee will really depend on technique and beans.Pros:- Easy to take apart- Perfect single serving size- Good quality- Good value for moneyCons:- Small diameter, so if you have big hands like me you can't reach inside when cleaning- Somewhat loose metal filter allows for some ground coffee to escape into the upper chamber

I bought this for my son so he can make coffee for himself at home. He is 13 and has ADHD. He loves his French Press. I had to give this 4 stars as when I bought it the description said it was a 3 cup however it just makes one small mug of coffee. It is still great for my son and his needs. Would definitely buy this again.

すごく可愛いデザインです。が、すぐに割れてしまいました。他社よりもろいかも。

フレンチプレスコーヒーという言葉の響きに釣られて買ってみました。ドリップコーヒーよりおいしいという意見が多かったのですが実際に飲んでみて確かにおいしいと感じました。付属のスプーンにすり切り一杯コーヒーを入れて湯の量を半分弱にしたら濃すぎてだめでした。次は湯の量を3分の2まで増やしたところ私にはぴったりの濃さになりました。今では一日３〜４杯飲んでいます。細かいコーヒーの粉がカップに入りますがそれほど気にならず、まろやかなコクが最高です！会社でも飲めるように小さいトラベル用の購入も検討中です。

簡単に美味しいコーヒーを飲みたい。しかも、一人分で良いの！！という思いから、プレス式コーヒーに出会い、さっそく購入しました。飲んだ感想は、みなさんのレビューにあった、まさにその味でした。香り、コク、ともに、インスタントでは味わえないもの。作り方も簡単、場所もとりません。これから、色んな豆を買って試したいと思います。手入れ（洗い）がめんどくさいのかな・・と心配していましたが、紅茶のティーポットと全く同じです。心配ありませんでした。

フィルターもサイフォンも使わずに手軽に一人〜二人分の珈琲が淹れれます。淹れ方は簡単'@挽いた豆を本体に入れ沸かしたお湯を注ぐ'A蓋（プレス部分）を乗せ４分ほど待つ。'Bプシュ〜とプレスバーを押して完了。お手入れも簡単。蓋とバーは一体化しているので、ガラス部分はコップのように洗えます。バーの部分はネジ式になってるのでクルクルと緩めフィルターも簡単に洗えます。お湯を入れて４分間ほったらかしで楽ちん。最大の魅力は☆フィルターを使わないので豆そのものの旨味を余すところなく味わえる☆☆一人分でも美味しく淹れれる☆この２つだと思います。カラーバリエーションが多いのでインテリアとの調和もばっちり。この赤は落ち着いた深みのある赤で珈琲のブラウンと調和の取れた良い色でした。

バリスタが主人公の小説を読み「美味しいコーヒーを毎日飲みたい！」と思い、色々なコーヒーメーカーの使用方法等考慮した結果これを購入。基本面倒くさがりの為、いわゆるエスプレッソマシーンでは手間も費用もスペースも必要。そこでボダムとは書かれていませんでしたが小説にも登場したフレンチプレスコーヒーメーカーを購入し、毎日手軽に美味しいコーヒーを楽しんでいます。今は自分の好みのコーヒーをいれるため豆の種類、ひき方、お湯の量を毎回変えてみるのも楽しみの一つとなっています。容量も迷いましたが、毎朝パンと一緒に飲むラテ用と会社に持参するアメリカーノの２杯分を（濃さの好みもあると思いますが）0.35Ｌでギリギリ淹れられます。ただし使用後コーヒー豆を捨てる時、底までは手が入らないので柄の長めなプラスチックスプーンがないとちょっと不便です。プレスするためか逆さまにして叩いてもなかなか落ちてくれません。そこで星は４つ。
