Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Bodum Kenya 32-Ounce Coffee Press, Black
Customer Review: Perfect Coffee every time for those who discriminate!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a superior press scaled for just one or two people. To reduce any drifting grounds I cut circular disks from papertowels slightly larger than the press(they are more absorbant than filter disks and work better), then place one these under the press. The sides of the disk are about 1/4" to 1/2" larger than the press itself. Once the coffee has penetrated the sides of the disk it becomes easier to press down. ALL the coffee can be poured into a carafe and will be good to the absolute last drop!
To clean, gently pull the press up a bit and run a bit of water to help dislodge the press, then lift out carefully! This also keeps the screening clear of grounds when you like more robust coffee that is well ground.
I use 4 heaping tablespoons to a pot, but I like it strong!
I LOVE THIS PRESS!!!
Description of Bodum Kenya 32-Ounce Coffee Press, Black
Nice design with improved durability is a nice way to describe the Kenya Coffee Press. Brewing coffee in a press is one of the best ways to brew coffee. Just add the appropriate amount of coarse ground coffee (we recommend one scoop for every 4 ounce of water), fill with hot water, set the lid and plunger in place, wait 4 minutes , then press and enjoy. The water, which was just off a boil, has the best extraction capabilities. Combined with the time and lack of paper filter to soak up the essential oil and acids, pressing provided you with a well rounded flavorful cup of coffee. Brewing is easy and cleanup is easy too. Just scoop the used grounds in to you compost or garbage and rinse. The Kenya 8 Cup is 32 ounce and yields 8 - 4 ounce cups of coffee. The Kenya 8 cup is the perfect size for the person who wants 2 - 3 mugs of coffee each day.The French press is considered by many coffee aficionados to be the best way to make a perfect cup of coffee because no paper filter absorbs and removes the essence of the flavor. Bodum?s Kenya line features the same elegant glass carafe as its original Chambord press, but handsomely employs heat-resistant, lighweight polypropylene for the lid and one-piece handle and cradle. To make coffee with a French press, remove the plunger/top ensemble, add coarse ground coffee to the glass carafe, add hot (but not boiling) water, stir with a non-metal spoon, and position the top and plunger in place. Allow the coffee to brew for about four minutes before slowing pushing down on the plunger. Pushing too hard or too quickly may cause hot liquid to squirt out. The flat lid features two spout covers: one slotted for pouring, and one solid for heat and aroma retention. When holding the handle, hands are thoughtfully protected from the hot glass by a vertical bar of the heat-resistant cradle. To clean, simply scoop out the used grounds and pop the entire unit into the dishwasher. A plastic coffee measuring spoon is included. This 32-ounce model makes eight four-ounce dessert cups of coffee or fills two generous mugs. Made in Denmark, the press measures 8-1/2 by 5-1/2 inches and is also available in other sizes. --Ann Bieri
