Bodum Chambord French Press Coffee and Tea Maker 34 Oz. Silver 1928-16US4

Even used with great caution I’ve now had two shatter. I gently tapped it this time. Not buying again.

One cup, as advertised.

La compre ya hace meses y no ha dado ningún problema. Esteticamente preciosa y fina. Fácil de limpiar. perfecta tanto para café como para tes o infusiones. Deciros que sobre la cantidad de café que se puede hacer dicen que 8 tazas y supongo que se refiere a cafés de taza de cafetería que son de varios tamaños y en general bastante mas pequeños que las de casa. Así que calculad que si os llenáis una taza de casa (la típica con forma de "vaso" con asa) os dará más o menos para unas 4 o 5 tazas tranquilamente.

Super produit de la marque Bodum avec finition liege (en tout cas en rendu). Formal idéal pour une ou deux tasses - pour des cafés moyen/grand de mon côté. Ne prend pas beaucoup de place se nettoie facilement, je recommande.

It's sort of hard to explain what makes the Chambord the de-facto modern french press. It makes good coffee, but then again, of course it does: It's a glass container you put ground coffee and water into. We figured out these things 200 years ago, it's not rocket science. What makes the Chambord special is everything involved in the process of using it. Parts are good quality; they're durable and feel good to handle. If anything does break, finding replacements is easy and not very expensive. The assembly is extremely modular too, meaning it's easy to clean thoroughly and you probably won't have to worry about it gunking up over years of use. It lacks the amenities some other brewers will try to sell you on, such as advanced filtering systems or quick cleaning methods, but in my opinion these gimicks rank from unnecessary to actively detrimental. The Chambord is the french press the same way we've been doing it for the last 200 years, and it works just fine. There's also something to be said for the way it looks. It might sound silly, but this is something that's presumably going to be out on your kitchen counter every day, so it should matter if you like looking at it, and I think the design of the Chambord is the sort of classy that doesn't age. When I make coffee in the mornings, I place it on my counter, and the way the sun hits the glass makes my coffee look so good, I'm almost certain contributes to it tasting better once it's in my cup. Again, it sounds silly, but I think that alone is enough of a reason to spend the tiny bit more than it costs compared to other brewers. Can't go wrong with a french press. Can't go wrong with the Chambord. It just works.
