Like most of you, I graduated to Bodum French Press... November 16, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Like most of you, I graduated to Bodum French Press... I must have gone through a dozen coffee makers with the last several being an integral grinder/coffee maker. Filtering started with bleached white paper, unbleached paper, etc., before moving to gold plated mesh filter basket (my last several). I also started with ground coffee, moved to whole beans, then eventually to roasting my own. All this in an attempt to try to brew the perfect coffee at home - which I finally got with the Bodum French Press. Try coarsely ground coffee (use a burr grinder and newly roasted beans allowing at least 4 hours of outgassing if you can) with water temperature around 190 to 200 degrees (from an electric hot pot or wait 30 seconds after boiling in the microwave), let it sit for 4 minutes and press very slowly - 1 minute or longer if you have the patience. You should refine the process to fit your taste but I think you'll end up with the best tasting coffee at home and probably be dissappointed at any other coffee no matter where or how much you pay for it.

Used every day for the last year November 8, 2007
This makes GREAT coffee. I agree that is it not piping hot after one hour, but we usually each have two cups max within half-hour so a non-issue. Big advantage is the size of the press, which is perfect when we have company. We even take it on family vacations!

Much less silt, won't break, keeps hot, tastes incredible, November 6, 2007
What other reasons are there for a press? I can't think of any more right now. I bought one of these because I love great coffee and it sure produced it. My wife loves it because there is no sludge or silt! (way less than other presses and of course you need coarse grind, maybe commercial percolator grind but I never used it) When it comes to a grinder I use a Capresso conical burr grinder and it seems to do a perfect job. I did get sludge and silt in the bottom with that grinder with other presses, but not this one. You do have to put some hot water in it before for it not to cool the coffee and to keep it hotter, but that would be with most coffee makers. It would be so easy to pour in a thermos or other caraffe to keep it hotter longer.

The perfect coffee press for on the go - camp, boating, etc! September 17, 2007
We had a smaller of the same stailess bodum press - love coffee, so this larger one is perfect - no glass to worry about! Purely stainless steel insulation, and great hot, fresh coffee everytime. This 12 cup makes about 4-5 HUGE mugs worth of coffe at a time - perfect for us on the sailboat or while camping! This was a great find, and Bodum quality too!

OH MY GOD!! September 16, 2007
Well if you like good coffee or tea this is the way to go. I have a few french presses and this is by farrrrrrrr the best I have used and I did a lot of looking before buying this one. No worry of breakage, coffee stays hot much much better than the glass ones and the clean design looks great on you counter, I constantly have people ask about it. I could not be happier.
