 The Holy Grail of Coffee Press July 25, 2008
chow chow (LA, CA)
If you can't have a powerful and expensive commercial Espresso Machine, Bodum is the best choice for you.
I used to have a 34 oz Bodum Shin (the cheapest model of Bodum). 34 oz is 8 French cups/4 American cups. It did a great job making good coffee. Even though it came with an ugly cork coster. But it worked very well with the coster. The coffee press functioned perfectly in every way.
Then I lost it during moving. I got a no name coffee press for emergency cuz I couldn't find a Bodum in that store that day. You would think "how hard is it to make a coffee press? They are all the same." Boy! Was I wrong? That piece of crap made in China came with an even uglier plastic coster. Not to mention it spilled when you poured faster and bigger volume. Liquid also dangled from the mouth of the press and dripped.
Then someone dropped the coffee press and broke it. I was so happy it broke so I could get a new one. I was eager to get another Bodum again.
After my intensive research, I got a Starbucks Signature Coffee Press made by Bodum. You can see Bodum logo on it. It's basically a 34 oz Bodum Chambord with Starbucks tag on it. It's $34.99 if you get from Starbucks, 5 dollars cheaper than Bodum Chambord you get from regular stores like Linen and Things or Bed Bath. Great deal!
I love this coffee press so much. It's so awesome. It's a better model than Bodum Shin. It doesn't need a coster because it has stainless steel legs. It doesn't spill and liquid doesn't dangle or drip from the mouth of the press like the no name coffee press. Like Bodum Shin, it also has a turn lid to close spout, cheap no name coffee presses don't have that. It's great to be able to close spout, so heat can be contained in the press. This coffee press definitely holds heat longer than a no name coffee press.
Plus Chambord looks pretty. It's prettier than Bodum Shin and much much prettier than a cheesy no name press. It looks well made in every detail.
Some people complained glass coffee press can break even by itself after a while without dropping. I am not sure about that. I remember my Bodum Shin was fine. I washed it by hand not dishwasher and didn't drop it once. Even though Bodum claims their coffee presses are dishwasher safe. I am still going to do the same for my new Chambord, handwash and no dropping. It should last a long time like Bodum Shin (lasted two years before it went missing).
Coffee tastes great. I use Starbucks ground coffee. So my coffee just tastes just like getting it from Starbucks with a fraction of the cost. It gives me as much energy as the coffee I get from Starbucks. Amazing! Save me a lot of money. A LOT!
Reeeeeally Good Coffee! July 22, 2008

This is the best way to brew a really great cup of coffee. No oxidation means bold flavor without any bitterness. Much less trouble and mess than a coffee maker if you only want a cup or two.
Let's compare only to other french presses, please. July 20, 2008

I read most of these reviews while looking to replace my broken press. My feedback? IT's a FRENCH PRESS, so you have to clean it like any other french press. And the cup sizes are European. Why? It's a FRENCH PRESS. (silly Americans) Figure 2.5 to 3 of their cups to one American mug. You have to be careful when dealing with boiling water also, just like any other time. If you're not an idiot you won't burn yourself or break the thing. I had to replace my glass beaker because I was dumb and tapped on it with a ceramic cup and only a little piece broke off (and I was still able to USE it while waiting for the replacement) And how nice of them to sell only a replacement beaker for half the price. Kudos to Bodum and their quality products.
 Bodum makes great pressed coffee June 30, 2008
Corinne Avery (Rochester, NY)
Our new Bodum coffee press makes wonderful coffee which is so easy to prepare anytime. Just boil up some water, place your freshly ground coffee directly in the coffee press (we grind our own from fresh whole coffee beans), pour on the hot water, steep for four minutes, then press! We love the fact that you no longer need a paper filter, (which take out some of the essential coffee oils). So you get a full rich brew! The only problem was we thought that this coffee press would actually make 8 cups, as it was advertised as an 8 cup press....but since we use mugs which hold 6-8 oz. each, we barely get three mugs from a full brewed pot. So this was a bit of a disappointment. Other than that, we just love the coffee we make in this coffee press! Delicious!

I really love my french press coffee maker. It is perfect for two good size cups of coffee and perfect for when I do not want to make a whole pot of regular coffee & the coffee always tastes better.
