Bodum Brazil French Press Coffee Maker, 34 Ounce, 1 Liter, (8 Cup), Black

Replaced a really really old one that I couldn't disassemble to clean properly

nothing to dislike, everything to like.

Comprei como presente para minha mãe e a qualidade me surpreendeu. O material é resistente, e a vedação do êmbolo é muitíssimo boa.Ótimo tamanho para quem quer fazer bastante café, pode ser usado igual com menores quantidades.

I was an early adopter of the Keurig coffee machine and have likely spent a significant amount of money on K-Cups. I was pretty set in my ways, even though I knew the k-cups weren't the most environmentally friendly. I tried to do my part by occasionally using those refillable k-cups, but I found the coffee to end up tasting very bland and weak.All of this changed when I visited my in-laws one weekend for a big British-style breakfast. The food was great, but my taste buds were not prepared for that sip of coffee I was about to experience. That was the moment I was introduced to the wonderful world of coffee presses. After my experience and upon returning home, I immediately began my search for a solid coffee press to feed my caffeine addiction. This was a whole new world, one that involved actually REALLY enjoying the taste/flavor of coffee and I was excited!I finally landed on the Bodum Brazil 8-cup coffee press. It was touted as a mid-range coffee press. Solid enough that it wouldn't crack easily, and a great quality filter that would ensure I could experience delicious grain-free coffee whenever my heart desired.I received my Bodum a couple of months ago now, and I haven't looked back since. It came with short and simple instructions on how to get the best coffee out of the press, and also a nice little plastic scoop that made it easy to measure out just how much coffee is needed depending on the serving size you're preparing. Easy, great tasting coffee, finally!A few things I've learned along the way:- Many coffee shops have a special french press grind that they will prepare for you if you buy their in-house coffee beans. It's crucial to get the proper grind to ensure a flavorful taste without any of the grains getting through the filter.- Set a timer or keep track of how long the coffee has been brewing. If you leave it in for too long, it'll end up being very bitter. I go by what Bodum suggests, which is around 4 min.- The filter can be unscrewed from the rod for easy washing. Do this! The grains tend to get lodged between the filters and if you don't removed the pieces and wash them individually, you risk ending up with old grains tainting the taste of the coffee.Bottom line: This coffee press is the perfect option for anyone who wants a better cup of coffee. Take 2 min to read the instructions provided to ensure your experience is as good as described above. It's not as "quick and convenient" as the k-cup, but when you value taste over speed, this is the way to go.

I've used these pots for years and really like the resulting brew. The plunger comes apart easily for deep cleaning. The glass part will break if you hit it too hard on a hard surface, but when I break one every few years, it's inexpensive enough to just replace.

Produto de alta qualidade, vale a pena.

I use this mostly to steep tea and I only used it for coffee once to make iced coffee. It holds 4.5 cups of water, which will fill it to the top without it overflowing when it is time to push the contents down. It is very easy to use, and clean up is extremely simple. You can take it apart as shown in the pictures for a more thorough cleaning, although I don't do this every time I clean it. Usually a quick rinse with some hot water does the job (for tea at least). I find that this is way better than an individual tea steeper and the flavor comes out way better. I usually do 3 cups of water with 3 tsp of tea and make 2 cups of tea. It is small enough to just keep on a counter and looks very modern and elegant. If you or someone you know loves to make tea I would purchase this for them.
