## Description

CHAMBORD is a true original – the classic French press coffee maker designed in the fifties. And we still produce it with the same painstaking craftsmanship we used way back when with the original. The frame and lid, made of steel, undergo several chrome plating processes to obtain a durable shiny surface that will last for many years of intense use. The only difference in the production process since the fifties is our commitment to the highest standards of environmentally correct manufacturing, which is especially important during the chrome plating process. The black CHAMBORD Polypropylene handle comes in a matte finish that not only gives a comfortable grip while serving but adds to the classic quality of the design. The French press system has always been the simplest and ultimate way of brewing an excellent cup of coffee. Using fresh coarseground beans with water between 92 and 96 degrees celsius brings out the very best in all types of coffee.

Review: Upgrade from drip coffee - I was always very curious about the french press method of brewing coffee, but never really got into it. Being away from my espresso machine, I really wanted to try something that was simply better than drip. I thought about getting the aeropress, but decided instead for the french press. Boy am I happy. So why is the french press method than drip you ask? Quite simple... *No paper filter! Coffee has a lot of natural oils in it that carry a lot of flavor. Using a paper filter traps those oils, so they never get expressed in the cup. The french press method produces a coffee that is much richer and fuller in body than any drip coffee I have ever had. I feel like I'm drinking coffee instead of cream and sugar. *Complete control over the brewing process. You control the grind, you control the temperature of the water and you control how long the water is contact with the grinds. *Steeping vs. Drip. Using a drip, the water goes through the grinds and out. Very little prolonged contact with the water. Also, it's very common to see channels develop in the basket which leads to underextraction. With the press, all the grounds are completely submerged within the water for however long you decide. Better extraction, just don't let them sit in there too long. Sometimes you hear of people complaining that there are too many grinds left in the cup using a press. Here is some good advice: "Don't skimp on the grinder". Toss your whirly-blade away (or relegate it to spices) and get yourself a burr grinder. I use a rocky with my french press, but you don't have to buy a $300 grinder for french press. You'll probably want to spend no less than 60. I've heard good things about the antiqua from bodum, the infinity from capresso and pretty much anything in the baratza line-up. Why such an expensive grinder you ask? Well you need to grind your own for any method of coffee brewing you use (throw the folgers out the door), but you need a fairly consistent grind. Whirly-blades will give you a lot of dust and coffee boulders; neither are very good for coffee brewing. Also, if you think that there is any possibility you might one day venture out into the world of espresso, go for no less than the gaggia mdf, or better yet a rocky. Nothing below those two will give you a grind for espresso. (End grinder tirade) Using a good grinder, the amount of grinds in the cup will be exceptionally minimal. You do get a little bit of coffee dust into the cup, but it's hardly noticeable and usually settles out into the very bottom of the cup. The filter on the press does a very nice job of keeping the grounds out. I read somewhere in one of the desertcart reviews that the press doesn't go down far enough to really press the coffee. I'm not sure how much coffee this person was using, but I use slightly less than the recommended amount and I am able to press the grounds quite firmly. This particular 3-cup model will make about 8-10 oz of brewed coffee. You can't quite get all 12oz of water in with the grounds, and some of the water gets soaked up in to the grounds. This is the perfect amount for me, since I only drink one cup-a-day, but if you drink more, go for a bigger model. Make sure not to leave the brewed coffee sitting in the press. Pour out any you don't drink immediately into some kind of thermal carafe to keep it warm. The unit itself solid enough. Obviously the glass is breakable, so don't go bouncing it off the floor. Cleanup is pretty easy. I rinse out the press, put some soap in the bottom, fill with water, and plunge up and down a few times and let it set while I drink my coffee. Make sure you keep the press clean, previously brewed coffee grounds are very good at ruining your coffee. As far as how to brew french press, check out the guide over at coffeegeek, but also look at the Illy method of preparation as they detail on their site. Decide which one you like better. The only improvement I would like to see would be some sort of thermal insulation to keep the coffee warm while it brews. The coffee is still hot when I'm ready to pour into the cup, but it would still be nice. Make sure to preheat your press with some how tap water. Bodum does make thermal french presses, but they come at a higher price point. Overall, great little brewer that comes at a very affordable price-point. Pair this with a good grinder as some freshly roasted beans (you're not still using folgers are you?), and you've got a recipe for excellent coffee.
Review: Timeless in design and function - The french press is a staple in any coffee lover's setup of makers or brewers. This timeless piece of engineering creates a great, full-bodied cup without all the hassle of perfecting pouring techniques or needing a large budget or space with more elaborate setups. All that's needed is the french press, a decent scale, beans along with the grinder (to control your grind size), and a way to heat water. This is usually a coffee lover's gateway into brewing cups other than instant coffee at the supermarket. It's not too difficult to use, and the cups are usually consistent and end up being less frustrating in the long run compared to pour-overs. It would be advisable to stick with darker or medium roasts with a french press since you're aiming for full-bodied cups which contain more oils and fines. A super expensive grinder is not necessary, which makes an entry-level grinder such as a Hario with ceramic burrs, or a pentagonal stainless steel burr hand grinder (i.e. Timemore C2, Hario Smart G Pro) decent options. This plays into the affordability factor, though a more expensive burr hand grinder is always welcome. After all the frustration as well as fulfillment that goes along with pour-over coffee equipment, as well as brewers, it's great to go back to more simple methods. Paper filters are also not necessary, which makes one less thing to worry about. The cups are great to drink with its high temperature and full-bodied flavor. Clean up isn't too bad with this french press either. It also makes a great cup of tea if you're using loose-leaf. Aside from the functionality, it looks amazing on your kitchen counter.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: where is this made?**
A: 8/22/2022 - Received yesterday, mine is likewise Portugal.

**Q: Are there any plastic parts to this French press?**
A: Uggh! I am trying so hard to find a French press that is NOT made in China and DOES NOT have any plastic parts. Extremely frustrating that it doesn't seem to exist.

**Q: is the cover/ lid metal ?**
A: Thursday, February 27, 2014Good Evening Marie:The cover/lid on the Bodum Chambord 3 cup French Press is metal. The little black knob that sits on top is made of hard plastic. Hope this helps.Here's to Great Health and the Perfect Cup of Coffee/Espresso.  Sincerely,A. Crowell

**Q: I'm concerned about plastic. Is there any plastic on/in this product and does it come into contact with the water/coffee at all?**
A: The Bodun Chambord models all have metal parts except for the little ball on top of the stem and the cover.  The carafe is always glass.  I had a problem a few years back with a Bodun model that had a plastic piece connecting the filter to the stem; it broke after a few months use so I also was concerned about plastic parts. I would also avoid metal carafes just because the coffee doesn't taste good to me when brewed in a metal container.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's just a (well made) french press
*by E***G on August 5, 2025*

It's sort of hard to explain what makes the Chambord the de-facto modern french press. It makes good coffee, but then again, of course it does: It's a glass container you put ground coffee and water into. We figured out these things 200 years ago, it's not rocket science. What makes the Chambord special is everything involved in the process of using it. Parts are good quality; they're durable and feel good to handle. If anything does break, finding replacements is easy and not very expensive. The assembly is extremely modular too, meaning it's easy to clean thoroughly and you probably won't have to worry about it gunking up over years of use. It lacks the amenities some other brewers will try to sell you on, such as advanced filtering systems or quick cleaning methods, but in my opinion these gimicks rank from unnecessary to actively detrimental. The Chambord is the french press the same way we've been doing it for the last 200 years, and it works just fine. There's also something to be said for the way it looks. It might sound silly, but this is something that's presumably going to be out on your kitchen counter every day, so it should matter if you like looking at it, and I think the design of the Chambord is the sort of classy that doesn't age. When I make coffee in the mornings, I place it on my counter, and the way the sun hits the glass makes my coffee look so good, I'm almost certain contributes to it tasting better once it's in my cup. Again, it sounds silly, but I think that alone is enough of a reason to spend the tiny bit more than it costs compared to other brewers. Can't go wrong with a french press. Can't go wrong with the Chambord. It just works.
