CHAMBORD is a true original – the classic French press coffee maker designed in the fifties. And we still produce it with the same painstaking craftsmanship we used way back when with the original. The frame and lid, made of steel, undergo several chrome plating processes to obtain a durable shiny surface that will last for many years of intense use. The only difference in the production process since the fifties is our commitment to the highest standards of environmentally correct manufacturing, which is especially important during the chrome plating process. The black CHAMBORD Polypropylene handle comes in a matte finish that not only gives a comfortable grip while serving but adds to the classic quality of the design. The French press system has always been the simplest and ultimate way of brewing an excellent cup of coffee. Using fresh coarseground beans with water between 92 and 96 degrees celsius brings out the very best in all types of coffee.
Note: 1)Too coarse a grind, too little coffee, or insufficiently tamping the grounds before brewing can all lead to inadequate pressure for a proper brew. 2)It is important to note that the amount of espresso extracted will vary depending on the grind size and amount and reprogramming may be needed when the size and amount are adjusted
FRENCH PRESS: CHAMBORD French press brews a premium cup of coffee in just 4 minutes, simply add course ground coffee, hot water and press
COFFEE CARAFE: Made of durable, heat-resistant borosilicate glass with a BPA free plastic handle and base; easy to use and easy to clean
STAINLESS STEEL: 3-part stainless steel plunger has a mesh filter that helps extract your coffee’s aromatic oils and subtle flavors instead of being absorbed by a paper filter
MAXIMUM FLAVOR: Pressed coffee extracts the perfect amount of essentials oils and acids from the coffee bean for maximum flavor; the preferred method for brewing for coffee enthusiasts everywhere
SERVINGS: This premium French press coffee maker makes 3 cups of coffee, 4oz each; dishwasher safe
Customers say
Customers find this French press makes delicious coffee with taste comparable to unfiltered coffee, and appreciate its stainless steel construction that keeps it looking nice. Moreover, the press is easy to use and clean, with parts that can be washed innumerable times, and one customer notes it works well with any grind. However, the build quality receives mixed feedback – while some find it virtually unbreakable, others report glass carafes breaking easily. Additionally, customers disagree on the size, with some finding it ideal while others say it’s too small for a single cup.

Perfect Cup Everytime
For those who enjoy a daily cup of amazing coffee the Bodum Chambord French Press is for you. My first experience with a Bodum Chambord French Press stems from my parents. They used if primarily for the âspecial cup of coffee,â the weekend demands and the Bodum French Press has continued to represent that ideal. I use my Bodum (34 oz.) nearly every day to make the perfect cup of joe. What really stands out in this product is its simplicity, longevity, and how it literally improves the taste of nearly any coffee.Simplicity of Design and UseThe Bodum design is simple, smart, and easy to clean. The entire thing consists of only three pieces; the glass carafe, lid with the filter, and the steel frame. Its simplistic design combined with an overall aesthetic appeal that allows you to leave this French press on the countertop without looking out of place or ugly. Did I mention its dishwasher friendly?When you go to use your Bodum youâll find that its incredibly easy to use, in fact the instructions only come with 4 steps. Step 1, put coffee in your Bodum. Step 2, boil water. Step 3, pour the boiling water in the Bodum and let sit for a few minutes eventually pushing the filter down. Step 4, pour yourself a cup of coffee! They make it as easy as possible to enjoy a superior cup of coffee (more on that in a minute).LongevityUnlike comparable French presses, Bodum uses high quality glass, steel and hard plastics for their product. This means that youâll be enjoying your press for years to come long after others would have broken. Iâve owned 1 other brand of French press before. The reason I made the switch was due to the handle breaking on my old one, a problem I donât anticipate happening with my Bodum. As I stated before, my parents also have a Bodum (51 oz.) which theyâve had it for nearly 15 years! Not many other products can claim that type of longevity.Do You Even Like Coffee?!Those who know coffee, know that a French press easily makes the purest cup of coffee out there. Regardless of the brand of press, overall taste is so dramatically improved over the standard coffee maker that once tried other ways probably just wonât cut it anymore. The combination of pouring boiling water directly onto the coffee induces some sort of chemical reaction that brings the absolute best flavor out of that bean. Even Folgers, the most average cup of blah there is, can taste as if its fresh out of the jungles of Columbia when using a French press.NegativesHonestly, practically none exist. Strong, quality materials ensure it wonât break, it looks good on the countertop, and makes the worst coffee out there taste a million times better. The one and only thing that comes to mind is price. In your big box stores, the Bodum demands top price for its top quality costing up to 60 dollars for a 34 oz. press. However, the advent of online shopping has cut that price nearly in half.The affordable, highest quality Bodum Chambord French Press is the perfect tool for the daily coffee drinker. Whether youâre buying it as a gift or for yourself, Iâm confident that this press will improve your coffee experience. Happy pouring!

Petite and functional
I had never used a French press until recently traveling in the Netherlands where they had one in our apartment. I always heard people rave about the coffee and the easy process. I loved it! They had a larger, heavier version made by Bodum. It made delicious coffee but my second cup was never really hot enough. We drink four cups in the morning so it makes sense to brew a pot, but in the afternoon I like one cup. Instead of saving a cup from the morning and microwaving it (I know, I know, that’s a sin!), I decided to get this smallest version of the Bodum French press. It works just like the larger version and makes delicious coffee. Note that they refer to a “cup” of coffee as 4 oz, where I drink a “mug” of 8 oz. It will brew a full measuring cup, which is 8 oz. You get a little less after you press it. Advantages are that your one cup is always hot, clean up is easy, and my husband who drinks decaf can brew a cup whenever he likes. I did find the glass to be a bit thinner than the larger version, and even though I used boiling water, my coffee was not extremely hot. The box was a bit messed up as if it was used, and it had an Amazon sticker saying this product “got a second life”. I thought I was buying a new product. But inside, the French press was in perfect condition, had the correct Bodum logo on the glass, and it came with its own measuring scoop, which is super convenient to make the best coffee without guessing. This would be great for travel too. I’m glad I got it.

Great but glass can crack
Perfect for solo coffee making. I would just advise you to clean the inside very carefully. Don’t stuff a large cloth or your hand inside to clean the jar because the glass cracks easily. I have had to replace this one and one that was a larger size. Just use a brush and it will last.

Fantastic Value for a Fantastic Press!
Having discovered French Press coffee a year ago I bought the Bodum Columbia Insulated French Press, which I love. However spare parts are not readily available for that line yet. So I started shopping for a press that I could get spare parts for. I have also read that a glass press can produce a slightly more complex flavored cup of coffee because the coffee will cool slightly while brewing. So I picked this press out based on my past happiness with Bodum products. I am the only coffee drinker in my house so I decided that I did not require a large 12-cup press. I also knew that I would not drink all that coffee before it became too cool. This is my first 8-cup press. I will spare you a review filled of reasons why you should use a French press to make coffee and instead tell you why you should buy this French press to do it! So here I go.Durability- This press is composed of a glass beaker that lifts out of the metal-banded handle assembly. It has a metal lid that is polished to a beautiful mirror finish. Also has a metal plunger rod, metal filter and metal filter ring and cross filter base. However it has a plastic shoulder nut (my one complaint, although I was able to get a metal replacement from Bodum at no cost). The way the plunger assembly goes together is simple and can be assembled easily by hand. First the plunger rod is fitted through the hole in the lid. Then the shoulder nut is screwed onto the rod. Then the large metal ring with round holes and a spring around the edge goes on. Beneath that the fine metal filter then beneath that the cross filter base. The rod screws into the cross base and secures everything up against the shoulder nut. This description may seem somewhat complex however it is very simple in practice and fool proof. The plunger lid assembly is quite sturdy and durable. The metal-banded handle assembly, which holds the beaker, is also sturdy and polished. The handle is a very hard plastic and comfortable to grip and hold. Fully assembled you have a durable (for glass) press that can easily stand up to daily use. I use mine daily with no problems at all.Ease of cleaning- This press easily disassembles by hand and can be completely cleaned with little effort. I soak mine in hot soapy water after every use then rinse clean and towel dry. Proper cleaning is critical to maintaining consistent coffee flavor. A dirty coffee maker will taint coffee with bad tastes. This press cleans very easily, much easier than my old drip machine did!Ease of use- This press is used as any French press. Drop your grounds in, add water off of boil, let grounds steep for 4-5 minutes then slowly press the plunger down. Pour and enjoy. If you make more than you will drink right away then pour it into a separate insulated thermos. I leave my coffee in this until I have it drank. With the lid turned to close the spout this coffee stays warm enough for me for a half hour. Face it; the first cup will be too hot to drink right away. The second will be hot but drinkable. The third will be warm. This makes 2-3 coffee mugs. Great for a single drinker who likes 2 or 3 mugs at a time, like me. Or great for 2 light coffee drinkers (a mug and a half a piece). Coffee will always be best the sooner is it consumed after brewing is completed. In this press or any press/coffee maker.Overall quality- For around $30 this is a fantastic value. Like I said above I was leery of the plastic shoulder nut which could wear after multiple assemblies and disassemblies, but I was able to get a metal replacement at no cost making this a much better value. All in all a great investment in better coffee drinking and piece of mind. I also like the ability to get spare parts if I should ever need them.In closing I really love this press it holds up to daily use and maintains it great classic looks. Makes great coffee and is perfect for a single coffee drinker who likes 2 or 3 mugs of coffee as I do. It’s smaller size than my 12-cup press makes for easier cleaning and handling. I am very happy with this purchase and for $30 you cannot go wrong. I recommend this to you highly! Whether you are new to French press coffee making or like me wanted a smaller easier to clean daily coffee press. I still love my 12-cup for parties, but this press is my personal daily coffee maker of choice. I love it!

Dawniej produkty marki Bodum byÅy wyÅmienitej jakoÅci. Teraz niewiele różniÄ siÄ od taÅszych zamienników. Minusem jest to, że filtr fusów szybko siÄ odksztaÅciÅ. CzÄÅÄ filtra zawija siÄ w górÄ, a czÄÅÄ w dóÅ. Mimo to trzeba przyznaÄ, że zaparzacz dziaÅa prawidÅowo i pozwala przygotowaÄ aromatycznÄ kawÄ.

Iâve been using a French press to make coffee for well over a decade and Iâll never go back, it makes a nice full bodied cup of coffee thatâs less acidic than drip/pour over and letâs you taste more of the brand of your choice. Bodum simply makes the best versions of the press that maintains the warmth of the coffee due to the thickness of the glass they use and is nice and sturdy compared to other makes Iâve used. It also helps that it looks fantastic. Highly recommend!

Mon ancienne cafetière était juste un peu trop petite. Celle-ci me convient beaucoup mieux, même si je n’ai pas encore trouvé le bon dosage. Encore quelques jours et l’infusion sera parfaite.
