Bodum 12-Cup Chambord French Press Coffee Maker, 51-Ounce

When Bodum took over a small clarinet factory in Normandy in 1982, it was not because of the fine orchestra clarinets they were producing but because of a relatively unknown coffee maker called the Chambord which they produced as well. The reason the French press coffee maker has become one of the most popular coffeemakers in the world is pure and simple, taste. The materials (borosilicate glass and stainless steel) are completely taste-free so nothing comes between your ground coffee beans. This is exactly the reason why coffee tasters use this method to determine the quality of coffee beans. No paper filter not only means no waste, but that the coffee bean’s essential oils go directly to your cup, delivering the flavor that is lost on paper filters. Simplicity works best and is the reason why the Chambord’s design has not changed a bit from its original drawing. Make taste, not waste. 1.5-Liter, 48-Ounce capacity.

Nice cup of joe Recently, my wife decided to cut back if not end her coffee consumption so the counter space taken up by our grinder, espresso machine, and coffee machine was now up for review. I usually stop and grab a cup on my way to work, or else buy one when I get there, but I couldn’t bring myself to relegate all of the coffee “equipment” to the garage. When I make a pot of drip coffee on the weekend, I’m the only one that drinks it and I will have one or two cups and then have to pour out the rest…
I didn’t think it could be better than my old french press, except for… Oh how I was wrong. The screen on this french press does a far better job of keeping the grinds out of my coffee cup. The 12 cup capacity is great. My wife and I get about three mugs full every day. The fact that every part can be run in the dishwasher means I will gladly buy one of these again (if I need it, I hope that’s not for a long time).UPDATE 2013-01-25:I had to make this product three stars. After owning it for about 2 months we had broken two of the carafes. One…
3-in-1 purpose, French Press, Milk Frother, and Teapot for loose leaf tea In addition to using this french press as my main coffee maker, this also works great as a milk frother as well as loose leaf teapot.I was contemplating getting a milk frother like this one when I realize its almost like my french press so I decided to try it. I poured whole milk in my french press filling about 1/3 of the glass and pump the plunger up and down and it quickly…
