The French press coffee maker is accepted worldwide as one of the best methods for brewing coffee and our New Kenya coffee press is sure to deliver not only gourmet coffee flavor, but modern design. The durable and heat-resistant glass beaker is partially encased by the black plastic frame of the New Kenya coffee maker. The frame covers a part of the sides and bottom of the beaker, making it safe for the tabletop without using a trivet or coaster. Simple to use, the French press is a proven method for brewing flavorful and balance coffee. Coffee is measured in 4 oz. cups, so our 6-cup press will brew 27 oz., serving two to three people. For best results, use coarse ground coffee. Just add the appropriate amount of ground coffee to the beaker (we recommend one 7 gram scoop per 4 oz. of water). Fill the beaker with hot water (just off of a boil). Leave about an inch from the top of the beaker. Give the coffee a stir with a plastic or wooden utensil to mix it completely with the water. Set the plunger and lid unit in place with the safety lid in the closed position. Allow the coffee to brew for 4-minutes and then press. Turn the safety lid to the open position, serve and enjoy. Clean up is easy too â€" just scoop out the grounds with a rubber spatula, and rinse the beaker and filter. There is no paper or additional filter required. The 3-part stainless steel filter system is built right into the press. The stay cool handle is built right into the sturdy New Kenya frame. All parts are dishwasher safe. The New Kenya is also available in 3, 4, and 8 cup sizes.
Freshly designed with swooping curves, the black plastic frame on the New Kenya coffee press adds to the anticipation of the morning coffee. And good coffee indeed this press makes. Most aficionados agree that the French press, or plunger, style of coffee maker produces the smoothest cup of joe. Bodum makes the carafe itself of borosilicate glass, the lightweight, heat-resistant kind found in science labs, and the plunger and three-piece filter system of stainless steel. The plastic frame tightly wraps the glass beaker and protects your table from its heat. The lid is also plastic.
To make coffee in the New Kenya, put in the glass carafe one scoop of coarse-ground coffee beans per every four ounces of brewed coffee you intend to make. Add nearly-boiling water, stir with a silicone spatula, and place the filter-plunger-lid unit in the top. After four minutes of brewing, slowly press down on the plunger. Pour, and enjoy. Use the same spatula to scrape the grounds out afterward, and rinse out the carafe and assembly. All the parts are dishwasher-safe as well. This New Kenya press makes 27 ounces of coffee, which equals approximately two large mugs or six four-ounce after-dinner cups. --Ann Bieri

Instructions for Use
 | 1. Place pot on a dry, flat, nonslip surface. Hold handle firmly, then pull the plunger straight up and out of the pot. 2. For each 1.25-deciliter/4-ounce cup, put 1 rounded tablespoon or 1 Bodum scoop of coarse-ground coffee into the pot.
Caution: Use only coarse-ground coffee. Fine grind can clog the filter and create high pressure. Place coffee maker on a heatproof, nonslip surface.
3. Pour hot (not boiling) water into the pot. Leave a minimum of 2.5 centimeters/1 inch of space at the top. Stir the brew with a plastic spoon.
Caution: Metal spoons can scratch or chip the glass beaker and cause breakage.
4. Place the plunger unit on top of the pot. Turn lid to close off the pour spout opening. (Does not apply to the Brazil models.) Do not press down. Let the coffee brew for at least 4 minutes.
5. Hold the pot handle firmly, with the spout turned away from you, then using just the weight of your hand, apply slight pressure on top of the knob to lower the plunger straight down into the pot. Lowering the plunger slowly with minimal pressure produces best results. If the filter clogs or it becomes difficult to push down the plunger you should remove the plunger from the pot, stir the brew, and then slowly plunge again.
WARNING: Using excessive force can cause scalding liquid to shoot out of the pot.
6. Turn the lid to open the pour spout and then pour coffee.
7. Unscrew the filter assembly and clean the plunger unit after each use. All parts are dishwasher-safe.

Scald Hazard
- Excessive plunging force can cause scalding hot liquid to shoot out of pot.

Company History
In 1944 Peter Bodum, the father of today's owner, Joergen Bodum, started Bodum in Copenhagen. Times were difficult at the end of World War II; there was hardly any trade and people were out of work. Peter Bodum managed to wholesale a very small variety of housewares products by Danish manufacturers.
After the war Peter Bodum got an import license for kitchen and tabletop products; he traveled all over Europe and ended up importing kitchen and housewares to Denmark. As in the rest of Europe in those days, a lack of products in Denmark meant a market existed for almost anything to be sold. He specialized in glassware from Eastern Europe.
In the '50s Peter Bodum started developing his own products. He collaborated with the Danish architect Kaas Klaeson for a range of coffeemakers. At the time, industrial-design-type kitchen products were very rare. The first Bodum product to hit the market in 1958 was the Santos coffeemaker--based on a vacuum coffee brewing system. It became an instant sensation not only in Denmark but in all of Europe. Bodum still produces the original Santos design to this very day.
Bodum grew steadily during the '60s, but sadly, in 1967, at the age of only 57, Peter Bodum passed away. His wife managed the company until 1974, when she offered her 26-year-old son Joergen to join her in the management of the company. Joergen quickly brought on board Carsten Joergensen--then a teacher at the Danish School of Art in Copenhagen--and soon put him in charge of overall design for Bodum, including everything from products to corporate design, exhibitions, shops, buildings, catalogs, and advertising. It turned out to be a very long and fruitful collaboration. The two men began to fulfill Bodum's credo--"good design doesn't have to be expensive"--in lots of different ways.
In 1974 the first fruit of Joergen and Carsten's collaboration was introduced: the French coffee press Bistro. It was also the first incorporation of the new Bodum design language--beautiful simplicity and excellent materials for everyday life. Many more variations of coffee presses followed. Since 1974 Bodum has produced over 50 million French presses, taken the leap from "coffee" to "kitchen," and developed and produced a large variety of beautiful household and tabletop designs.
In 1979, when he took over the company, Joergen Bodum decided to move to Switzerland in order to be more centrally located in Europe. He chose the Lucerne area, where Bodum's head office has been located since the early '80s.
In 1980 Bodum Switzerland and its design unit, Pi-Design, were founded. Then, in 1986, the opening of Bodum's first shop in London marked another milestone in the Bodum history. It was designed not only to be the perfect showcase for the large variety of Bodum products but to embody an even stronger presentation of Bodum as an international brand. Many more shops in many more cities all over the world followed: Paris, Copenhagen, Zurich, Lucerne, Tokyo, New York, Dallas, Okinawa, Auckland, and many more. To this day there are 52 Bodum stores worldwide.
With more and more of its own stores in place, Bodum continued broadening its collection of beautifully designed everyday life products--from kitchen to home. Today Bodum offers its customers everything from the latest coffee- and tea-making products to tabletop, kitchen, storage, textiles, bathroom, and home office products. Some stores also have a café where Bodum's own selection of coffees and teas are served.
The Bodum Group is, and always has been, a 100 percent family-owned business. Today the company operates in 14 different countries with over 700 employees worldwide. Bodum has holding companies in Denmark and Switzerland as well as 12 sales companies, 3 production companies, and a design company called Bodum Design Group, located in Switzerland.
Customer Reviews
Works Well (2010-02-21)
Great product. Own three Bodum french presses and this works as well as the others.
Great Coffee! (2010-02-11)
Great Coffee, that's what you get with a French Press and this model is no exception. Works like it's supposed to and is really easy to break down and clean. To help clear up how many cups this model makes, I drink my coffee black and with a full press I can get just about 3 standard sized coffee mugs. If you like milk in your coffee I don't see why you shouldn't be able to stretch it out to 4 cups.
All in all, this is a great unit and I would recommend this to anyone that's in the market for a French Press that can provide anywhere from 2-4 cups in one brew.
Easy to use, makes great coffee! (2010-02-01)
Excellent coffee press. It's easy to use, easy to clean (is dishwasher safe). Some coffee grinds do come through the screen if you grind the coffee too fine, so you may not want to drink the last drop! Definitely recommend to coffee lovers!
Delicious coffee made easy (2009-09-18)
I received the Bodum New Kenya 27 oz. coffee press for my birthday, and have not used my coffee maker since. The French press method of brewing is notorious for a more flavorful cup of coffee because it captures more of the oils from the coffee bean, and this particular press does a great job of producing a tasty cup of java. The exterior housing is made of plastic, but the glass carafe and components (lid, plunger, filter) are the same as other Bodum models. One of my best friends has a Bodum coffee press (different model) and commented that he really liked the styling. That's all well and good, but does it make good coffee? Oh yes... yes it does. I would recommend this press to anyone, and will probably purchase one as a gift.

Great press. (2009-12-31)
I got one of these for my parents six months ago and they love it. It looks nice and it even filters better than my Bodum. I'm buying another for my grandparents!
A classic! (2009-02-15)
I bought this to replace a broken french press. It's beautiful and makes a great cup of coffee!
Great tasting coffee + ease of use equal 5 stars! (2008-11-30)
The LaCafetiere French Press is an excellent way to make great tasting coffee. If you are not familiar with how a French Press works it is quite basic.
1- Boil Water
2- Put about a tablespoon of coffee into the French Press (Typically the coffee is a courser grind if it to be used in a French Press).
3- Pour boiling water into the the French Press
4- Wait 3 minutes and the press down on the plunger.
5- Pour yourself a cup of hot coffee!
The French Press is relatively easy to clean - simply pour out the unused coffee and then clean out the grinds. The LaCafetiere is a high quality French Press that is solidly built and is nice looking. The built in plunger/filter is effective at trapping the coffee grindings without getting excess coffee trapped in the filter.
The Advantages of a French Press-
- Great tasting coffee
- Pretty quick - less than 5 minutes to prepare the pot
- No need for filters our other consumables.
- Much smaller footprint for kitchen. After use the French Press can easily be stored in the cabinet.
- Easy to clean - there is never a need to "Brew a pot of vinegar" to clean out the machine (Like the traditional models).
Final Tally - A great way to make coffee, especially if you happen to live alone or are the only coffee drinker in your household.

Product Description
The BODUM Assam cast iron tea press is both a functional and artful item for the tea table. The cast iron tea press combines the old Japanese tradition of enjoying tea in a tetsubin style teapot with BODUM's proven tea press system. The Assam shape is reminiscent of the traditional English tea pots, whereas the cast iron material and its texture create the relaxing feeling of participating in a Japanese tea ceremony, a purifying bath of the six senses. Cast iron was used not only to convey the Asian style, but because of its brilliant qualities to preserve heat and therefore the consistent quality of the tea within. To create the distinctive Assam bowl shape, two iron cast parts are fused together. The knob pattern (Arare) surrounding the exterior of the pot contains the same amount of knobs in the first and last row. The inside is lined with a smooth, durable vitreous coating of enamel to prevent the iron from deterioration. If properly cared for, the cast iron teapot will last more than a lifetime. The Assam cast iron tea press should be hand washed and never placed directly on the stove or open heat source. Brewing loose-leaf tea is easy with the Assam. Simple add your favorite black, green, herbal, or white tea to the infuser. Pour hot water over the tea, filling the pot. Allow the tea to brew to your liking and then press. The patented press system separates the tea leaves from the water, completely stopping the brewing process and eliminating bitter tea. This means that you can enjoy your tea over time while resting assured that your first cup and third cup will taste the same. The Assam 4 Cup Tea Press serves 8 ¿ 4 oz cups.
Amazon.com Review
Innovative yet traditional, this Assam cast-iron tea press from Bodum makes perfectly brewed tea by blending ancient and modern design elements. With its cast-iron body, arced handle, and raised-dot design, the piece draws on the traditions of Japanese tetsubin pots and English tea aesthetics. But its stainless-steel infuser is a modern addition, with holes to allow tea to brew to the preferred strength and a plunger to stop brewing in its tracks. This allows for different teas to be steeped according to their characteristics and prevents bitterness without requiring leaves to be removed. Not suitable for stovetop use, the teapot has a 34-ounce capacity, enough to serve a few people at a time. It must be washed and dried by hand to preserve its integrity, though an enamel interior does protect against deterioration. The press also comes in a 17-ounce size, and a glass version is also available. --Emily Bedard

love it!! (2010-10-04)
this cast iron tea press is not as heavy as expected. i love the look and i love the heat retention. just follow the instructions on the amount of water to put in the pot so it won't dribble when you pour. brews my white tea to perfection! remember to keep it dry when not in use. this cast iron tea press will last a life time -- waaay better than the glass bodum tea press.
Just what she wanted (2009-01-13)
My daughter in Germany requested the Bodum Assam cast iron tea press for Christmas. It was the perfect gift and one she will have and use for many years.
A press with a bonus (2008-08-24)
