Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Bodum Chambord 3-cup Coffee Press
Customer Review: This was purchased as a gift for a friend.
Summary: 5 Stars
It is attractive, and the metal framework gives a feeling of durability since the glass beaker seems fragile. I am sure it isn't but....
And as we coffeehounds all know, pressed coffee is da bomb!
This product was purchased from Ace Digital Photo. Don't know why they popped up with a french coffee press, but they did. Offered here on Amazon for a good price, 29 dollars and free shipping. About 5 days after I ordered the press it arrived at my friends house broken to pieces. I emailed the company that evening and within 4 days a new one was sitting on my friends doorstep. Ace Digital is an A plus company. Fast, efficient and a real pleasure to work with. I will definitely buy from them again.
Customer Review: A great way to experience your coffee!!!

I'm very particular about my coffee, and I knew that while I would be traveling to some very remote parts of Greece, I would not have the luxury of going into town for a cup of my own blend. Although on occasion I would frequent the locals and sample their fine "Greek Cafe" I always had a craving for the brew I know so well. I was amazed at the results I got from the coffee press. The instructions were very easy to follow and I took the time to experiment with just the right measure of grounds and water to arrive at a taste that came very close to what I would get back at my locale. The filter system on this press is one of the best I've come across and the unit itself is made of durable material. The best part is, it cleans up so easily, that I was making coffee throughout the day. A great way to have your coffee and a taste that you'll surely enjoy!!!!Customer Review: Works As Expected

May take a little getting used to regarding strength/taste you're looking for. I actually use more coffee now than with a drip maker (not sure if that is typical or not). Please note the other posts related to number of cups. Personally, I don't think this is an issue. You don't get 12 cups from a 12 cup Mr. Coffee maker either unless they are very small cups.
This 32 oz. unit will make a maximum of 3 mugs which works for me.
Customer Review: It works swell!

When I read all of the reviews for Bodum products, I was really worried I would end up getting a very small press! This is even big for myself, and I drink a lot of coffee!
Don't consider this a "European" model, treat it as you would a Mr. Coffee drip cup size. :o) I get eight small cups out of this (and no, not those "elven sized" ones people fret about... :) and four rather large ones, as well.
I had no trouble pressing, the glass was intact when I got it, and it holds the heat incredibly well. My only gripe about this product is there is no "measuring" line for how many cups you are about to make! I know they have it on other models, so I have no idea why its gone from this one. I end up using a measuring cup for my water before I pour it in over my grind (because making all eight cups would be pointless for me as the sole-coffee drinker in the house hold. I usually fill it half-way.).
This is really great for someone who has a lot of company, or if there are a lot of coffee drinkers in the house. It makes *excellent* coffee, just a bit too much for a sole drinker! :) If you're getting it for yourself, get the four-cup model. You'll be glad you did!
Customer Review: Great Product!

I bought this press as a gift for my mom who used mine when she came for a visit, and she loves it! Not only does she like the size and the great coffee it makes but she finds it an attractive piece sitting on her counter. She's the only coffee drinker in her household and this size is perfect for her few morning cups of brew!
