UNBREAKABLE FRENCH PRESS Review

UNBREAKABLE FRENCH PRESS
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I got this little French Press for Christmas (cost was the full $25) and used it every day for five months, until the plastic screen holder on the bottom of the plunger pretty much disintigrated.I've used french presses for years and am in the habit of disassembling the plunger/filter mechanism for periodic cleaning.This is fine for metal screen holders, but this plastic one cracked and soon broke into small pieces.

I'm going back to Bodum.Their glass carafes can break (and be replaced), but I never really liked the plastic carafe on the BonJour Hugo -- it quickly began showing minute scratches, giving the impression that it wasn't completely clean.(I'm not a clean freak, but good coffee calls for clean brewing equipment.)

If it weren't for the broken holder and the plastic carafe, I would have given this french press five stars.

Bodum 1548-01US Brazil 8-Cup (34-Ounce) Coffee Press Review

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" for coffee.There IS, however, too bitter & too acidy.The press does what perking, dripping and steaming ground coffee cannot do: produce a stout, yet smooth cup of coffee - just like the stuff made around decades of my campfires.

Model Brazil, made in Denmark by a Swiss Company & called a French Press.No wonder the confusion over exactly how many cups this actually makes. The Euro-instructions for the press say 4 oz. per cup, but even my fine Bavarian China cups (from when I lived in Munich) are 6 ounces.

Just look at it this way: It holds 32 ounces of water.

The instructions on your roast coffee container usually say to use 1 TBSP per 6 ounces of water (NOT 4 ounces & NOT 8 ounces).Again, in MY world, 32 ozs. makes about 2 cups of coffee.

I toss in 6 or more scoops of ground coffee, pour in hot water & wait the obligatory 4 minutes.The result is a smooth coffee that you can drink by the quart without that nasty heartburn/reflux side effect.

It's ideal for work, where the office sissies are afraid of offending anyone with REAL coffee, so they make it weak.I simply step up to the hot water spigot & take the Press to my desk.

Now, you, too, can have coffee the way you like it at work without havingto cover up someone's botched brew with that foo-foo Vanilla, Hazelnut, Irish Cream or other phoney-flavored faux creamers.

Cleanup?Swirl around some soapy water, & dump the grounds down the sink - just be sure to have the water blasting & the garbage disposal running, so as to not plug up the sink trap.

Even if you already have the coffee-brewing apparatus of your dreams,buy the Bodum 32 oz. model.You won't be disappointed.

Product Description:
One of Bodum's original coffee press designs from the 1980s, the Bodum Brazil offers a classic take on modern, functional design that will never go out of style. Perfect for extracting your coffee's aromatic oils and subtle flavors, this 8-cup coffee press can hold up to 34 ounces. It features an ultra-light, heat-resistant borosilicate glass beaker, which is both strong and resistant to temperature extremes and dishwasher safe. It's complemented by a polypropylene handle and base and a 3-part stainless steel plunger with a fine mesh filter--allowing the flavor of the coffee to be delivered direct to your cup and not absorbed by a paper filter. The patented safety lid also prevents the splashing of liquids while pressing. All parts are dishwasher safe.
To make the perfect pot of French press coffee, add 1 rounded tablespoon of coarsely ground coffee for each 4-ounce cup of water. After pouring boiling water over the coffee, give the grounds a stir with a plastic spoon, then allow your coffee to brew in the press for 4 minutes pressing down on the plunger.
