Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Bodum Chambord 8 Cup Double Wall Thermal Coffee Maker with New Locking Lid System, 1.0, 34-Ounce.Customer Review: Not just for coffee: Summary: 5 Stars
I will get to the not-just-for-coffee claim toward the conclusion of this review.
But first, this particular French press is a high-end product: a very attractive and well-made item which produces superb coffee, especially if you follow the instructions. The inner container of glass need not shatter if you avoid using a metal spoon or avoid knocking it against the sink or whatever.
Plastic spoons or small wooden spoons work well to stir the course coffee grounds after I have added the hot water. Actually, I do not always bother to stir the grounds after adding the hot water, and I first heat the FILTERED water in a LARGE pyrex cup in my microwave.
To clear the spent grounds from the coffee maker I use the flexible end of a plastic spatula and simply hold the product over a garbage container and scrape out the remains. I avoid pouring too many grounds into the garbage disposal, because it's easier to get most of the spent grounds into the garbage container.
Per the instructions, I usually brew the coffee for four minutes. Because I like strong coffee I use a rounded tablespoon of course-ground coffee per FOUR OUNCE cup. I generally make two eight-ounce cups of the brew, and that takes four rounded tablespoons of course-ground. Sometimes I get distracted before pouring my second eight-ouncer into my large coffee cup, and even after it has brewed for ten or more minutes, the taste is still superb.
For what it's worth, I add eight ounces of heated whole milk to my eight ounces of brew and sweeten it with pure honey. What a treat for a coffee freak like me.
Having recently created a coffee bar in my kitchen, reminiscent of the wonderful coffee bars in England and the continent, I do not neglect to use my high-maintenance, very expensive automatic coffee maker which was a gift a couple of years ago. I alternate it with my French press. Of the two products, the French press makes the better brew. And how! Had I known of the existence of the French press coffee maker before I was given the other one, I would have asked for a French press instead.
Before I mention the other use(s) of a French press, I want to point out that I have been seeing the French press in use on US and UK drama or comedy sitcoms. Those images got me started investigating the French press. If you watch the UK "Doc Martin" series, you will see the French press in use occasionally, and if you watch the US "The Good Wife" series you will see the occasional use of the French press as well.
Other uses of the French press: Of course, you can use it for your favorite bulk teas. Bulk teas are generally less expensive than tea bags, and the tea will be surprisingly smooth tasting.
Best of all, you can also concoct your own herbal teas: Just go on line and Google up recipes for herbal teas. Peppermint tea is especially soothing if you have an upset stomach. Herbal teas made with chamomile blossoms are also soothing. Just make certain your herbs, etc., are free of pesticides. Enjoy!
Description of Bodum Chambord 8 Cup Double Wall Thermal Coffee Maker with New Locking Lid System, 1.0, 34-Ounce.The new 8-cup (1.0 l, 34 oz) CHAMBORD Double Wall French Press features a new patented locking lid system and a thermal double wall glass carafe designed to keep coffee hot, fresh and aromatic for a much longer period of time. The new CHAMBORD?s locking lid system offers a heat seal and precision pour spout. By pressing the lever while pouring, you have total control over the flow of liquids, preventing drips while serving. When the lever is released, the coffee not only stops pouring, but the spout actually seals shut, eliminating exposure to outside air and locking in aroma and freshness, ultimately enhancing the insulating effect of the double-wall glass beaker. This new 8-cup coffee maker is a beautiful extension of our classic CHAMBORD line of products with their typical Bakelite knobs and handles. The mouth-blown, heat-resistant double wall borosilicate glass is encased in a stainless steel frame protecting the glass beautifully. The 3-part stainless steel plunger has a fine mesh filter, which allows for a premium extraction of your coffee?s aromatic oils and subtle flavors. A mesh filter allows this flavor to be delivered direct to your cup and not absorbed by a paper filter. Plus, no paper filter means no waste! The patented safety lid prevents the splashing of liquids while pressing. All parts are dishwasher safe.
