Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Bodum 16-Ounce Travel Coffee Press with Picture Insert
Customer Review: commen sense review
Summary: 5 Stars
This product has been great. I have not had any problem getting grinds in my coffee, maybe because i have the sense not to fill it up too much.
The cup is obviously concave in shape, a little larger at the top than the bottom, i fill mine up to about an inch from the top, as the instructions also say. The screen is then in full contact with the insides of the cup. there is nothing to break while pushing the press down as some have claimed on different mugs (made the same,but not with the picture insert). God only knows what some people have done. Some people have whined about the top not sealing properly. It does exactly what it is supposed to do. There is not any problem at all with the seal.
As far as adding stuff to your coffee. Simply mix it with the coffee grinds that you add and stir and then wait about 3-4 minutes to press the screen down. Some people can not figure that rocket science out.
The reason i have written this review is because if i had not of had a smaller press like this one then i would have never bought this after reading what some people have written about this press. That burns me up since i absolutely LOVE it.
Now the one thing that BODUM should be ashamed of is calling it a 16 OUNCE coffee press. You can not get 16 oz. into the cup if you have coffee in it . It should not be too difficult for BODUM to measure a small amount of liquid. So this is just a down right lie own their part.
You will have 12. ozs. if filled to within 1 inch from the top. I have a 12 oz. one and you only can get about 8 oz. of coffee from it. Which is why i ordered this one.
If 12 oz. is good for you, then just ignore some of the foolish reviews because you will love it.

The travel press was designed so that you can brew your favorite coffee or tea and drink right out of the same tumbler. The double wall construction insulates your beverage and keeps it hotter longer while keeping your hands cool. The spill-resistant lid keeps the heat in when you are not enjoying your hot beverage. The Travel Press is simple to use. Simply add one or two scoops of your favorite coarse ground coffee or the appropriate amount of loose-leaf tea. Fill with hot water and screw the lid in place with the press in the up position. Allow the coffee to brew for 4-minutes (tea should brew 3-5 minutes or to your liking) and then press. Once you have pressed, open the lid and enjoy a balanced & flavorful cup of coffee or tea. To clean it up, just rinse out the grounds and handwash for best results. The travel press is a perfect brewing method if you just need coffee or tea for one, as well as while you are travelling. at work, camping or just out and about. Fits in most car cup holders.

The bottom of the tumbler unscrews so that you can insert a photo between two plastic sleeves across the sides. Or, insert a colorful postcard, your own graphic design, or your five-year-old's latest crayon masterpiece. The choice is yours, and you can change the scene anytime. An added bonus: The tumbler is actually a coffee (or tea) press. Spoon in some coarsely ground coffee, add hot water, and after four minutes, plunge. Enjoy up to 16 ounces of fresh-brewed coffee to go.
Bodum makes the plastic, handle-less tumbler in double-wall construction to better insulate either hot or cold drinks. The lid screws on tightly, eliminating worries about popping off unexpectedly, and a flip-cap over the sip hole also cuts down on spills. After use, wash by hand only (the screw-off bottom precludes dishwasher-use). If you prefer to brew your coffee before leaving home, Bodum also makes a non-press version of the picture-insert tumbler. --Ann Bieri

2. For each 1.25-deciliter/4-ounce cup, put 1 rounded tablespoon or 1 Bodum scoop of coarse-ground coffee into the pot.
Caution: Use only coarse-ground coffee. Fine grind can clog the filter and create high pressure. Place coffee maker on a heatproof, nonslip surface.
3. Pour hot (not boiling) water into the pot. Leave a minimum of 2.5 centimeters/1 inch of space at the top. Stir the brew with a plastic spoon.
Caution: Metal spoons can scratch or chip the glass beaker and cause breakage.
4. Place the plunger unit on top of the pot. Turn lid to close off the pour spout opening. (Does not apply to the Brazil models.) Do not press down. Let the coffee brew for at least 4 minutes.
5. Hold the pot handle firmly, with the spout turned away from you, then using just the weight of your hand, apply slight pressure on top of the knob to lower the plunger straight down into the pot. Lowering the plunger slowly with minimal pressure produces best results. If the filter clogs or it becomes difficult to push down the plunger you should remove the plunger from the pot, stir the brew, and then slowly plunge again.
WARNING: Using excessive force can cause scalding liquid to shoot out of the pot.
6. Turn the lid to open the pour spout and then pour coffee.
7. Unscrew the filter assembly and clean the plunger unit after each use. All parts are dishwasher-safe.

Company History
In 1944 Peter Bodum, the father of today's owner, Joergen Bodum, started Bodum in Copenhagen. Times were difficult at the end of World War II; there was hardly any trade and people were out of work. Peter Bodum managed to wholesale a very small variety of housewares products by Danish manufacturers.
After the war Peter Bodum got an import license for kitchen and tabletop products; he traveled all over Europe and ended up importing kitchen and housewares to Denmark. As in the rest of Europe in those days, a lack of products in Denmark meant a market existed for almost anything to be sold. He specialized in glassware from Eastern Europe.
In the '50s Peter Bodum started developing his own products. He collaborated with the Danish architect Kaas Klaeson for a range of coffeemakers. At the time, industrial-design-type kitchen products were very rare. The first Bodum product to hit the market in 1958 was the Santos coffeemaker--based on a vacuum coffee brewing system. It became an instant sensation not only in Denmark but in all of Europe. Bodum still produces the original Santos design to this very day.
Bodum grew steadily during the '60s, but sadly, in 1967, at the age of only 57, Peter Bodum passed away. His wife managed the company until 1974, when she offered her 26-year-old son Joergen to join her in the management of the company. Joergen quickly brought on board Carsten Joergensen--then a teacher at the Danish School of Art in Copenhagen--and soon put him in charge of overall design for Bodum, including everything from products to corporate design, exhibitions, shops, buildings, catalogs, and advertising. It turned out to be a very long and fruitful collaboration. The two men began to fulfill Bodum's credo--"good design doesn't have to be expensive"--in lots of different ways.
In 1974 the first fruit of Joergen and Carsten's collaboration was introduced: the French coffee press Bistro. It was also the first incorporation of the new Bodum design language--beautiful simplicity and excellent materials for everyday life. Many more variations of coffee presses followed. Since 1974 Bodum has produced over 50 million French presses, taken the leap from "coffee" to "kitchen," and developed and produced a large variety of beautiful household and tabletop designs.
In 1979, when he took over the company, Joergen Bodum decided to move to Switzerland in order to be more centrally located in Europe. He chose the Lucerne area, where Bodum's head office has been located since the early '80s.
In 1980 Bodum Switzerland and its design unit, Pi-Design, were founded. Then, in 1986, the opening of Bodum's first shop in London marked another milestone in the Bodum history. It was designed not only to be the perfect showcase for the large variety of Bodum products but to embody an even stronger presentation of Bodum as an international brand. Many more shops in many more cities all over the world followed: Paris, Copenhagen, Zurich, Lucerne, Tokyo, New York, Dallas, Okinawa, Auckland, and many more. To this day there are 52 Bodum stores worldwide.
With more and more of its own stores in place, Bodum continued broadening its collection of beautifully designed everyday life products--from kitchen to home. Today Bodum offers its customers everything from the latest coffee- and tea-making products to tabletop, kitchen, storage, textiles, bathroom, and home office products. Some stores also have a café where Bodum's own selection of coffees and teas are served.
The Bodum Group is, and always has been, a 100 percent family-owned business. Today the company operates in 14 different countries with over 700 employees worldwide. Bodum has holding companies in Denmark and Switzerland as well as 12 sales companies, 3 production companies, and a design company called Bodum Design Group, located in Switzerland.
