A smart way to get the freshest possible coffee on the go, this brew-and-drink portable press from Bodum is great for commuters, students, and campers. Modeled on Bodum's popular glass presses, the piece features a durable plastic tumbler and a three-part plunge filter that presses grounds to the bottom of the cup when brewing is complete. Its makes coffee in just four minutes, and its design includes insulated double walls and a spill-resistant lid. Also great for loose-leaf tea, the mug holds 16 ounces and fits most car cup holders. --Emily Bedard

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.

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
A little tricky. . . (2010-05-11)
This travel french press works fantastically as long as you remember not to let the water (and therefore the floating grounds or tea leaves) come above the line where the filter makes its seal. Otherwise you end up with a mouthful of leaves or grounds for your first sip. So a little tricky, but worth it for having fresh french press coffee at hand so quickly and easily.
Great (2010-04-28)
I bought this coffee press as a present. The recipient has specifically asked for this product because it was reviewed as the best manual coffee press. She is very happy with this press.
THIS IS THE PERFECT COFFEE MAKER !!!!! (2010-04-14)
This coffee maker is the best. I purchased two and will probably get a few more. My friends saw it and all want one. I have used press pots for years but never had the travel and it is spot on. The drinking spout is perfect, so many travel mugs have poor spout design and they seems to drip all over. This one is great for the office, home, car and gift giving. This and a pound of coffee any they will love you!!!!!
So far, AWESOME (2010-01-13)
I couldn't give five stars only because of the slightly messy clean-up of this cup....but I've got to say, this product makes it well worth the effort. Get three or so, and you'll always have a clean cup for some fresh coffee. ;)
I like strong coffee, and can essentially make a non-bitter, espresso-trength coffee flavor that keeps the warmth for a couple hours with this cup. To me this is a dream come true, after time spent with a pod brewer that made weak coffee (despite pods so packed with coffee that I could barely close the lid), and drip & percolated coffee giving bitter results in huge volumes that get stale or burned as they sit.
On the financial and environmental fronts - you don't need a filter with this unit, so all you buy is the cup and your coffee (if you truly love coffee, you already have the grinder). No coffee maker taking up space on the counter top, and no hours of pressing/making pods, or any of that. You dispose only of grounds, and if you're a gardener, you have a use for those too!
I haven't tried loose leaf tea yet, but that's next on my agenda.
I absolutely love this french press travel cup. Get one today!
