Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Bodum Chambord 3-cup Coffee Press
Customer Review: Great Coffee!!
Summary: 4 Stars
This makes an excellent cup of Joe! It's a perfect size for one person. Very easy and quick to use. In a few of the past reviews, it mentioned that the glass was too thin... it seems fine to me but there is a warning not to add boiling water so as long as your water isn't too hot, I don't really forsee it being a problem. I love mine and I'll never give it up!Customer Review: Great Product - Just Wish It Wasn't Breakable!

This was the 2nd coffee press for me. The first one was bought over 5 years ago and I broke the beaker last year. I searched all over to find a replacement beaker, which I finally found at Starbucks for $15, and then broke the second beaker last month. I ordered the complete product (w/s&H) for less than $20 via Amazon and couldn't be happier. We use it every day.Customer Review: Best coffee ever!

Ditch your drip and percolated coffee makers. You'll get the best cup of coffee you've ever tasted from this product. It's quick, simple, and the coffee is delicious. This way of making a good cup of coffee has always been an old standby in Europe and for good reason. Europeans don't put up with bad tasting coffee. Customer Review: The Holy Grail of Coffee Press

If you can't have a powerful and expensive commercial Espresso Machine, Bodum is the best choice for you.
I used to have a 34 oz Bodum Shin (the cheapest model of Bodum). 34 oz is 8 French cups/4 American cups. It did a great job making good coffee. Even though it came with an ugly cork coster. But it worked very well with the coster. The coffee press functioned perfectly in every way.
Then I lost it during moving. I got a no name coffee press for emergency cuz I couldn't find a Bodum in that store that day. You would think "how hard is it to make a coffee press? They are all the same." Boy! Was I wrong? That piece of crap made in China came with an even uglier plastic coster. Not to mention it spilled when you poured faster and bigger volume. Liquid also dangled from the mouth of the press and dripped.
Then someone dropped the coffee press and broke it. I was so happy it broke so I could get a new one. I was eager to get another Bodum again.
After my intensive research, I got a Starbucks Signature Coffee Press made by Bodum. You can see Bodum logo on it. It's basically a 34 oz Bodum Chambord with Starbucks tag on it. It's $34.99 if you get from Starbucks, 5 dollars cheaper than Bodum Chambord you get from regular stores like Linen and Things or Bed Bath. Great deal!
I love this coffee press so much. It's so awesome. It's a better model than Bodum Shin. It doesn't need a coster because it has stainless steel legs. It doesn't spill and liquid doesn't dangle or drip from the mouth of the press like the no name coffee press. Like Bodum Shin, it also has a turn lid to close spout, cheap no name coffee presses don't have that. It's great to be able to close spout, so heat can be contained in the press. This coffee press definitely holds heat longer than a no name coffee press.
Plus Chambord looks pretty. It's prettier than Bodum Shin and much much prettier than a cheesy no name press. It looks well made in every detail.
Some people complained glass coffee press can break even by itself after a while without dropping. I am not sure about that. I remember my Bodum Shin was fine. I washed it by hand not dishwasher and didn't drop it once. Even though Bodum claims their coffee presses are dishwasher safe. I am still going to do the same for my new Chambord, handwash and no dropping. It should last a long time like Bodum Shin (lasted two years before it went missing).
Coffee tastes great. I use Starbucks ground coffee. So my coffee just tastes just like getting it from Starbucks with a fraction of the cost. It gives me as much energy as the coffee I get from Starbucks. Amazing! Save me a lot of money. A LOT!
Customer Review: Reeeeeally Good Coffee!

This is the best way to brew a really great cup of coffee. No oxidation means bold flavor without any bitterness. Much less trouble and mess than a coffee maker if you only want a cup or two.
