Pleasing taste

 

Pleasing taste

My husband and I were surprised to find that coffee made with the french press doesn't have the bitterness that is usual with perked coffee. Usually we don't grind our beans for perked coffee, so I don't know if that is the reason. Coffee made with...

"8 cups" = 32 oz, not 8 cups of coffee!

 

"8 cups" = 32 oz, not 8 cups of coffee!

This coffee press can contain 8 European MEASURING cups, which is 4 American cups, or 32 ounces. If you use about 8 ounces of ground coffee (that makes a pretty strong cup), you'll have 24 ounces left for your brew, which would be 3 regular 8-oz cups,...

Excellent Coffee

 

Excellent Coffee

No doubt, when you use a coffee press, you can have very strong, flavorful coffee without the bitterness. This is a very nice product. If you enjoy an oversized cup of coffee, this will make 2 cups. But, if you leave the coffee sit after pouring...

a great alternative to a bulky coffeemaker

I had a single cup french press which I love, but I needed a larger one so I bought this one and I like it very much. It stores easily so I it doesn't take up counter space which is a big bonus. You can make your coffee as strong or as weak as you...

Dirt-simple, dirt-cheap, but tastes great!

This is a very simple, easy-to-use and easy-to-clean French press. I couldn't be happier with it. Brewing with a French press generally results in much more flavorful, rich coffee than using a conventional drip coffeemaker. Though it makes very good...

Tidy Adaptation of the Cowboy Coffee Brew Method

 

Tidy Adaptation of the Cowboy Coffee Brew Method

Let's face it, dumping coffee grounds into a bucket of hot water is nothing new. The Bodum Press is a refinement of the cowboy coffee brewing method, minus the campfire & straining it thru a sock. In My world, there is no such thing as "too Strong"...

I'm in coco heaven!

A recent article in GQ suggested making coffee using a cold brew technique using a French Press. I bought the Brazil based on price and I've been very happy. It's well made, and so long as I don't drop it I think it'll be a very happy addition to my...

makes great coffee, but make sure your grinds are big enough to press or they will be come stuck in the plunger grate, making them difficult to remove.

Simple is better

 

Simple is better

I have two of these, for home and the office. It shines at the office in particular, as shared drip machines tend to get pretty nasty. The combination of this and an electric kettle cleans up perfectly, and is pretty much indestructible. At home, this...
