The French Press is the greenest and most elemental way of making coffee. Because you have precise control over the temperature of the water used in the brew you can capture most of the oils and aromatics found in the coffee bean to provide a rich-tasting, complex coffee.

The French invented the press coffee pot in approximately the 1850’s. The first pots were metal, and functioned roughly like they do today pressing coffee grounds to the bottom of a metal pot, through a metal screen (or sometimes through a loosely woven material). In the 1930’s, the Italians reinvented the French press pots, using first metal, and then glass. The pot has been refined over the years to the single-chambered French press pot we know today.

Bodum is a leading French Press manufacturer in the USA and the Chambord is classically styled with modern glass, metal, and plastic materials to mimic those that became popular during the 1930’s in Europe.

• Remove the lid and filter assembly
• Measure coarse coffee grounds into the coffeemaker
• Pour 195 degree F water over it, filling to the desired level
• Replace the lid and filter assembly, keeping the filter at the top
• Let coffee and water steep together for 2 to 5 minutes, depending on desired strength; the longer the steep, the stronger the coffee

Bodum Coffee Pot, February 18, 2007
By L. Bly “Gift Giver” (Portland, Maine USA)

We love this french press coffee maker. It’s a 12 pot which looks big when you take it out of the box and is great when you make coffee and want multiple cups. The coffee is delicious! It won’t stay warm long in this french press so we just drink it up.

Perhaps the most valuable feature of the French press is that it gives you absolute control over the temperature of the water used for the brew, which, along with the quality of the bean, is probably the most important factor in the quest for the perfect cup. Set your coffee grinder to coarse. You always use coarsely ground coffee in a French press to prevent blocking the filter.

Bodum is still the biggest seller worldwide but AeroPress and other coffee press manufacturers are making a name. The number of reviews for coffee machines of all kinds indicate how passionate people are about their coffee.
