Suprisingly Good May 13, 2007

Frankly I have a large Bun displacement method coffee maker and it makes a full pot in around 3 minutes. So I didn't really need a coffee pot. I bought this one because I'm trying to lose a few pounds and I like (shudder) flavored coffees as an alternative to dessert. (Does this work? Sorta, sorta not.) I just wanted a coffee press so I wouldn't taint my regular coffee maker's pristine coffee-flavored coffee only filter.

But this press is SO wonderful I'm considering getting another one for regular coffee to put in my office. The press works beautifully. I've used regular grind blends (it's supposedly a no-no but it works fine) and have had wonderful results. The really big plus in addition to all this is that it is a breeze to clean. The Stainless steel assures that 1) there is no fragile glass to break like regular presses (one of the reasons I had never bought one- I'm clumsy in a way that illustrates all the princples of physics) 2) the coffee stays warm for several hours (not piping hot, drinkably warm- I like this) 3) it cleans with warm water and polishes up with a dry towel- very easily.

A cup of coffee is pretty big priority for me in my life. I'm not particulary proud to say this but there it is. I love this press and found it to be worth the money. I am not, however, a coffee maven I'm just an avid consumer. So consider the source. But I love this press.

Best cup of coffee! May 13, 2007
I am so pleased with this coffeemaker! It takes no extra time to make the pot of coffee than the drip or percolator coffeemakers - just boil a pot of water (we use an electric kettle) and allow a few minutes to brew before plunging and serving. The coffee is very smooth, with a nice full tast. The insulation keeps the coffee hot for about an hour, and warm for a few hours. No more burned coffee left on the warmer too long, no aftertaste from filters!

It's good....but worth it?.....not so sure May 13, 2007

This is a very good press, there's no doubt about it. But, does it live up to it's price tag? Not really. This is one of the largest coffee presses I've seen, so I was excited to get it. One of the main reasons I purchased THIS press was the fact that it was a Thermal press. But, when I received the pot, it really didn't impress me....

The Thermal feature really didn't work. Bodum says the coffee will stay hot for up to 2 hours....but after less than an hour, the coffee was barely warm, and once I added cream, the coffee lost all its warmth!

So, it was hard to justify paying $70 for a 'Thermal' coffee press which doesn't really keep the coffee any warmer than a glass pot that costs less than half the price!

So, if you want something that looks nice, and brews good coffee, and money is no object, then go for it....But if you just want a pot that brews quality coffee, I'd recommend going with a less expensive model.

My husband and I decided to purchase a coffee press after our last two electric coffee makers started leaking water.The coffee press is simple to use and easy to clean. Coffee tastes better when made in this press. I love the design and the look of the Bodum coffee press. One pot is plenty of coffee for the both of us to have two cups each and it stays hot for quite some time. I would recommend this press to people who love a good cup of coffee!

Since my regular drip coffee maker broke, I decided on an alternative with the Bodum Columbia Thermal. The thermal function really works! I have been able to enjoy hot coffee throughout the morning, without that burnt taste from a regular drip coffee maker. The pour spout is designed with good dynamics and does not promote spillage. I love the way it looks, and I especially love the way it makes delicious, rich, creamy coffee! Just make sure to use dark roasts, as light blends come out too weak.
