Brew Delicious French Press Coffee with the Bodum Chambord 1 Liter Chrome French Press Coffee Maker

Cait: Over the years I thought quite a few french press coffee makers both for myself and as gifts for others. This one is really nothing like them and I have a feeling it's probably the last one I'll ever own because it is so well made. The glass is noticeably thicker than other kinds that I have purchased. The metal is A LOT sturdier! Even the wire mesh filter is a better quality without wires poking you as you wash it. The only downsides I can see to this French Press is that 1) it is a little more expensive than others but you get what you pay for I guess 2) having much thicker glass and a lot sturdier metal it is a tiny bit heavier.

Leanbrit: I've owned a couple of different models of Bodum French presses. This version is certainly good value for the price and gets the job done. But it does lack the quality and durability of the more expensive models. Parts are held together with cheaper components and I've had to replace models when I have dropped them (all my fault!) that caused the glass to shatter. More expensive versions (I own one of those as well) have thicker glass (I think) and certainly offer more protection against accidents.

So, no surprise: you get what you pay for. Take this version if you promise to look after it carefully. Spend a bit more on one with protective siding if you are as careless as me!

Carol Kohler: When it comes to making coffee with a French Press it mostly comes down to time and temperature. Sure the amount of coffee you add in will make a difference but that ought to really be a constant variable, everything else changes depending on the brand of coffee you choose to buy. Personally I buy McDonalds Medium Roast and it tastes just great. There's this hype about grinding your own beans but honestly it seems to work okay just the way it is, plus I find that grinding never gets them all even, which then changes the consistency of the brew. So for me I brew around 140 degrees yes it makes warm coffee not hot, and I like that. I also brew for over 5 min. I use a candy thermometer and try to make it the same each time. With a little experimentation I am left with a flavorful cup of coffee and everything else just seems to take care of itself!!

c: Bought this as a gift, but the box did not hold up well to the rigors of shipping. However, on opening the box I found the press was apparently durable enough to survive the journey. Ease of cleaning is a bit subjective, as it's pretty much a handwashing event. Ease of use is pretty dang on par with most other French press, just a matter of how the lip is going to pour and whether it will drip/leak. It's definitely a flashy looking press, and it will be one of my more showcase-able coffee makers.

Follow the James Hoffmann method, and really you could get away with any pitcher. 😉

Sam Spade: Contenance parfaite, en clair (parce que leur système de tasses ne l’est pas), elle fait deux mugs de café si vous la remplissez au maximum, ce qui est idéal pour moi au petit-dej. Le verre est assez épais pour garder le café assez chaud également. Par contre le haut n’est pas en métal, ce qui m’a un peu surpris, mais ça c’est juste personnel. Bref, recommandé.

likeaboogie: Très jolie, fait aussi office de décoration dans la cuisine.
Facile d'utilisation, rapide mais ce n'est pas évident de doser le café mais une fois trouvé ce qui vous convient, c'est bon.
Le café est différent, il est le moins concentré en caféine donc bien pour ceux à qui le café provoque des problèmes, "niveau estomac"

Sachant qu'elle peut servir de diffuseur à thé et c'est excellent, les feuilles ont de la place pour s'ouvrir.
Environ 4 min d'infusion et touiller avant la fin pour bien diffuser le thé. On se sert et le reste dans une théière pour éviter l'amertume.
( je suis revenu à la cafetière italienne et j'ai gardé la cafetière piston pour le thé)

Simple à nettoyer, vraiment je conseille cette marque connue.

PeönyäPeönyä: A la fois simple et ingénieux, le concept des cafetières piston. Je ne pensais pas que c'était si simple, on met l'eau et le café dans la cafetière, on infuse, on presse, et c'est bon. C'est ma première cafetière piston.
Je cherchais une option pour pouvoir me faire au moins deux cafés d'un coup, sans avoir à refaire du café à chaque tasse, comme ds une cafetière électrique.
Comme je bois tout en écrivant, je n'ai pas envie de devoir me stopper à chaque fois pour en faire.
J'ai failli prendre une cafetière électrique avec une grande carafe, mais je ne voulais pas prendre le risque que cela refroidisse si je ne buvais pas tout dans un délai imparti, ni m'encombrer trop.

Donc j'ai optée pour l'option piston, qui est la meilleure pour moi. Le café est plus authentique niveau gout.
Je peux me faire presque 3 mugs (d'environ 325 ml) avec, et cela est toujours chaud même si je prends un peu de temps à boire la première tasse.
Et comme le dit un autre commentaire, le bec est bien conçu de manière à ne pas en faire couler à coté. De plus si on tourne le couvercle, il y a un plastique noir sous le couvercle, qui permet de réguler le débit...

ChristineMM: I'd heard that a french press makes the best tasting coffee but put off buying one for years. To be honest if I had some peer pressure to influence me I'd probably not have resisted for so long. I only know one person who uses a coffee press and they swear by it.

The reason I finally bought this was that my last two drip coffeemakers broke in month thirteen, right after the warranty ended. Small plastic parts broke and I took the plunge to try this french press which is mostly glass and metal, figuring the simpler construction might ensure it would last longer (and it's less expensive too).

One thing I like about the Chambord is the glass beaker is a separate piece. This is unlike Bodum's Brazil model which has the plastic fused onto the glass. I know replacement glass pieces are sold separately in case mine breaks.

I liked the look of the Chambord which is sleek and has a shiny silver metal and black plastic for the holder and cap. I looked at the Bodum Chambord side by side with other coffee presses (like the Bodum Brazil) in a store and could see that this one looks more sophisticated and classy.

I also like the 32 ounce capacity of the...
