A nice, cute, LITTLE coffee press. Apparently the cups in Brazil are much smaller than here in the States. It's so small that it barely holds 1 1/2
cups! So, I returned it and purchased a larger one.
This is a 1 CUP press February 27, 2008

12 ounces = about the size of a Tall Starbucks coffee.
I'm not sure in what universe Bodum lives that they call a 12 ounce press "3 cups". (in the end it makes about 10 ounces, if you think about the space for the grounds).
I'm doing Bodum a service by making consumers aware of this so you can avoid buying it and they can avoid your complaints, if you're looking for a press that gives you more than 1 cup of coffee.
Office Coffee Perfection February 21, 2008
Sluggo (Virginia)
I got this for X-mas last year and it has performed really well. Best of all I don't ever have to taste that sludge that the office buys and charges $.25 for.
The office coffee maker has a hot water dispenser on it and that is allows me to make coffee with my french press. I like good coffee but I am by no means a coffee snob, I don't grind my own beans but I buy good coffee on sale at Kroger and since I have drank more bad coffee over the last thirty years than I care to remember, a good cup of joe means a lot to me.
Honestly, this is as easy as instant coffee---hot water, teaspoon of coffee, stir, wait 4 minutes, plunge and drink. It doesn't take long, but I kind of like the ritual. The coffee is great. Rich, smooth and often one mug is enough- even for a 250lb caffiene addict.
Where else are you going to find an eleven dollar coffee maker that rocks your world?
Great for elf-size servings February 9, 2008

First I will say that someone should travel to Bodum corporate headquarters bringing with them a standard 8-ounce measuring cup and 12 oz coffee mug, to demonstrate to Bodum what image is conjured in American minds when the word 'cup' is used. If this pot makes 3 cups, then I must ask, are the cups for people or for elves? Only a minuscule creature would be satisfied with the amount of coffee that comes from this pot. I am not certain why Bodum thought this size pot is necessary at all.
I bought the pot because it was said to make "3 cups". I had already bought the Chambord model, which is also labeled "3 cups" and makes enough coffee for one 15 oz mug, so I was stunned when I opened the package and saw the tiny vessel that is the Brazil pot. The amount of coffee I would get from this pot would be enough for my first sip. Taking clean-up into consideration, it is absolutely not worth the trouble or the money.
Since returning it would cost about 50% of what I paid for it, I will keep it, for those rare occasions when I want to brew a small cup of tea. Finally, a general comment on Bodum: French press coffee pots have been said to make the best possible coffee, which is probably true. But this morning, when I dropped and broke the glass container of my new Chambord, I had to resort to a porcelain Melitta filter cone to make my first cup of the day, and the coffee I got from that was excellent. Plus there was no clean-up. So, if you have about 20 minutes in the morning to spend fussing around making coffee, and you don't break the glass container, then Bodum is the way to go.
