Tidy Adaptation of the Cowboy Coffee Brew Method
By AZshooter
Let’s face it, dumping coffee grounds into a bucket of hot water is not one thing new. The Bodum Press is a refinement of the cowboy coffee brewing method, minus the campfire & straining it thru a sock. In My world, there is no such thing as “too Strong” for coffee. There IS, however, too bitter & too acidy. The press does what perking, dripping and steaming ground coffee cannot do: formulate a stout, yet smooth cup of coffee – just like the stuff made around decades of my campfires.

An Inexpensive Treat
By J Keistler
This was my original French press. I have always enjoyed this type of coffee, queer after dinner. However, I was attracted to the plastic framework surrounding the carafe, as I may be clumsy at times.
This press has worked just as well as the more expensive, more conventional looking French press pots. I set the coarsest setting on my Braun grinder, and no grounds get through the screen. It is just perfect. I haven’t ever run my press through the dishwasher, it isn’t necessary with the easy cleaning with this one. I just put hot soapy water in the carafe, up-and-down a few times with the plunger and it’s all ready to use again. I have heeded the warning not to stir with a metal implement; I use a wooden spoon.
I would heartily commend this model of Bodum for someone who would like to experience French press coffee at home, inexpensively.

Love it
By Paul Hanley
I have two Chambord models, and this one. I prefer the features of the Brazil’s keyed lid, and secured plastic frame to the Chambord models. I’ve had this for regarding 3 years now, use it each day, and it’s held up perfectly. Great press.
