Bodum34oz Brazil French Press Coffee Maker, High-Heat Borosilicate Glass, Black - Made in Portugal

SECOND UPDATE:Now I've changed my rating to five stars--and I'd give more if I could. BODUM customer service went above and beyond. They actually did not send me the replacement part I requested. Instead, they sent me four brand new BODUM French presses! I've reached out to see if that was a mistake and they want me to return three.I've always loved BODUM French presses. My broken part was really quite an anomaly.First update: I've changed my rating to four stars, because I was able to get through to BODUM customer support and they say they will be sending me a replacement part soon.I've bought these before and like them a lot, so I thought I was getting a good product this time too.Oddly, the "press" part of this one--not the glass-- broke. Actually split in the middle. Makes it hard to get it into the pot.Never had that happen before.Unfortunately, the Amazon return window on this item closed a week ago.But fortunately, reaching out to BODUM directly worked. I should get the new part in a week or so.

This model is designed by real coffee engineers. I like how the plunger does go down all the way, which prevents you from losing essential notes on the palate when enjoying coffee. Essentially a very thoughtful product. I thought there really wasn't a way to improve upon a simple French press, but Bodum apparently is the best in the game and I see why. Not trying to shill, but this is really the best French press u can own.

This is a great coffee maker, way better than the coffee machine I had. I bought it to avoid plastic, as this is just glass and steel.

I really like the small French press. I only drink one mug of coffee in the morning so it’s just right. I’ve only used a larger bodum in the past, so it felt pretty small.If you are new to French press, there are a few things I have learned by trial and error. I became frustrated with all the recipes I had read, I didn’t want to worry about grams and ratios. For me, the easiest is using 3 tablespoons of coffee to 10 ounces boiling water.. After preheating the glass container and emptying the water, add your tablespoons of coffee. Add a small amount of water to just cover your coffee. Stir it with something non-metal, I use a chopstick. Let the coffee bloom for about 30 seconds. Add the rest of your water. After four minutes slowly push down the plunger. I then slowly to bring the plunger back to the top and uncover the carafe. Carefully take a teaspoon and remove all the grounds that have risen to the top. Place the plunger back into the carafe and slowly press down. This will make your coffee come out with very few grounds.I think coffee prepared with this French press, makes a smoother and less acidic coffee than drip coffee. I think this coffee press is well-made, and the glass is similar in strength to my larger French press. It may seem like a much more complicated way to make coffee, I find the experience to be relaxing and mindful.

I love it! I had a percolator but the glass top apparently not heat tempered, so after buying 3 replacements, I said forget it & got this instead. Simple, easy to use, easy to clean. Makes a great cup of coffee.

Works Great enough for 2 cups only I already have a small one so I returned this and bought a bigger one that makes 4 cups.

Works great

Crumbs, however good flavor
