I’d heard that a french press makes the best tasting coffee but put off buying one for years. To be honest if I had some peer pressure to influence me I’d probably not have resisted for so long. I only know one person who uses a coffee press and they swear by it.The reason I finally bought this was that my last two drip coffeemakers broke in month thirteen, right after the warranty ended. Small plastic parts broke and I took the plunge to try this french press which is mostly glass and metal, figuring the simpler construction might ensure it would last longer (and it’s less expensive too).One thing I like about the Chambord is the glass beaker is a separate piece. This is unlike Bodum’s Brazil model which has the plastic fused onto the glass. I know replacement glass pieces are sold separately in case mine breaks.I liked the look of the Chambord which is sleek and has a shiny silver metal and black plastic for the holder and cap. I looked at the Bodum Chambord side by side with other coffee presses (like the Bodum Brazil) in a store and could see that this one looks more sophisticated and classy.I also like the 32 ounce capacity of the Chambord.Easy to UseThe coffee press is so easy to use. I boil the water then wait two minutes, as the manufacturer says not to use boiling water. I put the coffee grounds in it then fill it with 32 ounces of water. I stir it with a wooden chopstick then place the lid on and wait four minutes. Then it is pressed very gently and slowly. The coffee is ready to serve.My one complaint about the glass container is there are no marked lines for various measurements. If you want to make coffee in a certain number of ounces, such as to make an 8 ounce cup, you will have to heat the water and measure it in a heat-safe measuring cup then pour it in.I note the manufacturer has legal warnings in two languages which fill over two inches of space on it so it is clear that Bodum wasn’t leaving markings off to have a clean design look.Since this uses no electricity and is small I am taking it with me when camping. I am thrilled to be able to have great tasting coffee while camping or staying in cabins without electricity but with access to open fire or portable camping stoves which can be used to boil the water.Best Tasting CoffeeI have two favorite coffees which I’ve been drinking for over two years using a drip coffeemaker. I was shocked at the superior aste of the coffee made with the same pre-ground beans from this coffee press. There was no bitterness! I’d thought the bitterness was supposed to be there and had accepted it. (This idea is now funny to me. I also note when reading reviews of my former coffeemaker – made by Mr. Coffee – some customers said it produced a bitter brew. I now know that to be true. )I have never tasted home-brewed coffee that tasted this good.32 OuncesBodum says this makes 8 cups of coffee. In America 6 ounces is the standard so that’s a bit confusing to this American coffee drinker. However many people now drink 8, 12, 16 or more ounces in one “cup” of coffee. What you need to know is the Bodum Chambord makes 32 ounces of coffee.CleaningI find this easy to clean and have no complaints. With anything you use there is usualy some cleaning, even a drip coffeemaker has parts to clean.Making Coffee in VolumeMy Mr. Coffee drip coffee maker took nearly 15 minutes to make a 12 cup pot so I have no complaints on the time it takes to make coffee in a coffee press. To me flavor is more important anyway; I’d rather have a coffeemaker for daily use that produces superior coffee every day and have a bit of inconvenience when company is here. If I have to, when company is visiting, I will use an insulated coffee pot if I need more than 32 ounces of one kind of coffee. It will actually work out fine as some of my family usually wants decaf while others want caffinated coffee, so I’ve always had to brew two pots and use an insulated carafe when I brewed with a drip coffeemaker anyway.The CostThis cost me less than half what a drip coffeemaker costs and much less than those one-cup coffee makers. I’m happy with the low cost. As I said earlier if the glass beaker breaks I can buy a replacement for a low price.In ConclusionThis makes fantastic tasting coffee. It may be a different process than you have done before but it is easy. This is an inexpensive item with a simple process with little room for mechanical failure. Don’t hesitate like I did!

Yes . I love tf out of this ! I use it to brew my cacao from Crio Bru . I tried the aeropress first , but only used it once cause it’s for like a teacup or something , the amount I got out ? . Then I bought this cause I reaaally wanted to drink the cacao to give my tea drinking a break & even though it’s takes 2 more mins than the aeropress to brew (4mins total) , it’s worth it , tasted better , & filled my cup to the perfect amount for a grown adult lol not a sippy cup amount . I love her ?

I bought this as a backup in case my coffee maker quits, and I sometimes take it with me when I travel. It’s small and easily portable. I find myself using it more regularly now, and I’ve become a big fan of French press coffee. The key is the ground size to water amount ratio. Once you get that right, patience will pay off waiting for your coffee to brew. Also, after I pour in the water, I give it a quick stir and let it sit a minute before putting on the lid. Once you master the technique, you’ll be a fan too.

I bought this as a replacement. I like the chrome better than my last one. I haven’t throughly used this one yet but it appears to be just like the one I had that broke. It’s a quality product. You will love it. I’m not bothered by the text that another reviewer mentioned. I use it for loose leaf tea or coffee.

I don’t know if it is inherent in all french presses, but the metal on mine is rusting already after just a handful of uses.I could disassemble the unit after every use, but honestly, that is not ideal for this design and should not have to happen. The metal should not be rusting.I would shop around and see if there are options that won’t rust before considering the bodum.

I had a 12oz and broke the glass carafe. I purchased this one as the price for a new larger size was a better bargain than replacing the 12oz carafe. Love this large size.
