Bodum French Press Coffee Makers for Everyday Brewing

Bodum French press coffee makers are the most popular product in the lineup, and the Chambord is the model that built that reputation. Designed in the 1950s and still produced with the same craftsmanship, the Chambord features a heat-resistant borosilicate glass carafe, a chrome-plated stainless steel frame, and a three-part stainless steel plunger with mesh filter. The carafe comes in 12oz, 34oz, and 51oz sizes to suit a single cup or a full pot.

Bodum also produces the Brazil and Java models as more accessible entry points, both using borosilicate glass carafes and stainless steel filters. It involves no paper filters, no pods, no plastic capsules. What you get is coarse-ground coffee, hot water at 92-96 degrees Celsius, 4 minutes of brew time, and a press.

Find the Right Bodum Coffee Maker for Your Kitchen

Bodum makes it straightforward to find the right Bodum coffee maker for your kitchen and daily routine. Here is how the main Bodum coffee pot models compare:

All three press models use the same stainless steel mesh filter that keeps grounds out of the cup, eliminating the need for paper filters. Every purchase comes with clear brewing instructions covering grind size, water temperature, and steep time.

For households wanting a full coffee maker setup alongside a French press, pair Bodum with an espresso machine from our store.

Why Choose a Bodum French Press Coffee Maker?

A Bodum French press keeps all natural oils and aromatic compounds in the cup. Paper filters in drip machines absorb those oils before they reach you. A Bodum stainless steel mesh filter lets them through, producing richer, fuller Bodum coffee than most drip alternatives.

Here is what makes a Bodum coffee maker worth the purchase:

• No waste: No paper filters, no plastic pods, reflecting Bodum's founding Copenhagen philosophy of making taste, not waste
• Simple to use: Add coarse-ground coffee, pour hot water, wait four minutes, and press. The instructions are the same every time
• Built to last: Borosilicate glass handles temperature changes without cracking, and the stainless steel frame resists corrosion through years of use
• Country of origin quality: Every Chambord is produced in Portugal to the same specification that Bodum has maintained since the 1950s

FAQs

What is a Bodum French Press coffee maker?

A Bodum French press uses a borosilicate glass carafe and stainless steel mesh plunger to brew without paper filters or pods. Coarse-ground coffee steeps for four minutes, then the plunger separates the grounds before you pour.

Are Bodum coffee makers easy to use?

Yes. Add coarse-ground coffee, pour hot water at 92 to 96 degrees Celsius, wait four minutes, and press slowly. No settings, no programming. The Chambord follows the same three-step instructions every time.

Are Bodum French Press coffee makers easy to clean?

The carafe, filter, and plunger are dishwasher safe on most models. The chrome frame should be hand-washed. Disassembling the plunger and rinsing all parts after each use keeps the filter clear and the flavors clean.

What are the benefits of a Bodum coffee press?

A Bodum coffee press keeps the natural coffee oils that paper filters absorb and strip out. The result is a richer, fuller-bodied cup with more aroma and depth, and no paper filter waste in the bin.

What makes Bodum French Press coffee different from drip coffee?

The French press keeps the grounds in contact with the water for the full 4-minute brew, with no paper filter. A drip quickly runs water through a filter. A French press gives more body and oil. Drip produces a cleaner, lighter result.

Why do coffee lovers prefer French Press brewing?

A French press lets you control steep time and grind coarseness without machines, pods, or paper filters. A good pot is ready in four minutes, produces no waste, and extracts more from quality beans than most automatic brewers manage.
