Bodum For French Press Coffee
When Bodum took over a small clarinet factory
in Normandy in 1982. It was not because of the fine orchestra
clarinets they were producing but because of a relatively
unknown coffee maker called the Bodum Chambord coffee press which they, by
coincidence, produced as well. Bodum combined the skills
of these Normandy craftsmen with modern production, and the
price became affordable to the many people who loved the taste
of the coffee brewed in this unique coffee maker, later known
as the French press coffee brewer. Thanks to Bodum and thanks
to the increasing need for better coffee, the French press
coffee maker became one of the most popular coffeemakers in
the world. The design has not changed a bit from the original
drawings, and Bodum still makes the Chambord with the same
painstaking care and knowledge they learned from those proud
craftsmen in windy Normandy. The ease of brewing... the
delicious smell and taste of French roasted dark coffee have
not changed, but the value Bodum offers you today is no longer
the price of the past. The French Press method of coffee
preparation is an easy way to prepare rich, full bodied coffee.
Directions for
use of Bodum French Press Coffee Makers
| Step One |
Place pot on a dry, flat, non-slip surface. Hold
handle firmly and pull plunger unit straight up and out of the
pot. |
| Step Two |
For each 4 oz. cup, put in 1 rounded tablespoon of
coarse ground coffee into the pot. |
| Step Three |
Pour hot (not boiling) water into the pot. Leave
at least 1 inch of space at the top. Stir with plastic spoon or
chop sticks. |
| Step Four |
Place plunger unit on top of the pot. Turn lid to
close off spout opening. Do not press down yet, let coffee brew
for 4 minutes. |
| Step Five |
Hold the pot handle firmly with the spout turned
away from you, then using just the weight of your hand, apply
slight pressure on the top of the knob to lower the plunger
straight down into the pot. Lowering the plunger slowly produces
the best results. Use of excessive force can cause scalding liquid
to shoot out from the pot. |
| Step Six |
Turn the lid to open the pour spout, then pour the
coffee. |
| Step Seven |
Unscrew the filter assembly and clean the plunger
unit after each use, all parts are dishwasher safe. |
