Pros: Really, REALLY good coffee.

Cons: This is no fire-and-forget coffee machine.

The Bottom Line: If you're willing to work a little bit, the end result is epiphany-provoking coffee.

Review: That means, "The Coffee is Really Good" in French. At least, that's what an on-line translator says, and I'll trust it because...the coffee from this French press is really good. Some background would be in order. I've been drinking coffee ...

Cons: It was more expensive.

The Bottom Line: Yes, I recommend this because it is pretty and easy to use.

Review: The metal frame "Chambord 1928" french press by Bodum is the best style that they make. It is elegant looking, easy to use and the size is perfect. I had the black plastic style of Bodum french press before, but it broke by accident and I, being a slave ...

Cons: makes only one cup at a time. not good for a group of people.

Cons: Very Minor: Plastic inner-lid, no graduated markings.

Review: Caff-fiend. That's the proper term to describe me. I enjoy a good cup of coffee almost as much as, well… it's actually hard to describe it and stay 'PG'. That said, I've been searching for that perfect cup at home for a while now. My search has ...

Pros: Excellent coffee.

Cons: It needs more attention than automatic machines.

The Bottom Line: Few things make The Bottom Line as giddy as watching freshly roasted, freshly ground coffee bloom in his Bodum Chambord.

Review: The French Press, or press pot, is an example of simplicity that works wonders, and the Bodum Chambord is an example of that simplicity well executed. Combined with hot water, quality beans, and a good grinder the ...

Pros: Inexpensive

Cons: Poorly designed filter mechanism with sharp, rough edges, flimsy construction of questionable origin

The Bottom Line: I would not spend my money on this inferior, poorly designed product!

Review: I have tried 3 different Bodum presses, and they weren’t worth writing home about. I used and returned their Chambord, Melior, and Bistro Nuevo models. Well, I didn't actually use the Melior; however, when I saw it was essentially a Chambord, I ...
