The CHAMBORD Coffeemaker is the Original French Press. When Bodum took over a small clarinet factory in Normandy in 1982, it was not because of the fine orchestra clarinets they were producing but because of a relatively unknown coffee maker called the Chambord which they produced as well. The reason the French press coffeemaker has become one of the most popular coffeemakers in the world is pure and simple- taste. The materials are completely taste-free so nothing comes between your ground coffee beans. This is exactly the reason why coffee tasters use this method to determine the quality of coffee beans. The 3-part stainless steel plunger has a fine mesh filter, which allows for a premium extraction of your coffee’s aromatic oils and subtle flavors. A mesh filter allows this flavor to be delivered direct to your cup and not absorbed by a paper filter. Plus, no paper filter means no waste! The patented safety lid prevents the splashing of liquids while pressing. Simplicity works best and is the reason why the Chambord’s design has not changed a bit from its original drawing. This 8-cup model (1.0 l, 34 oz.) features a BPA-free, SAN plastic carafe which is shatter-resistant. Also available in 3 cup (0.35 l, 12 oz.), 4cup (0.6, 17oz.) and 12 cup (1.5 l, 51 oz.) size models.

Nice press (2010-04-14)
I broke a glass version of the same press earlier this year, and I didn't want that problem again so I tried this version. I'm pretty happy with it. I think it's a little pricey for basically a plastic press, but it still has a very nice classy feel to it that makes it worthwhile. I'd recommend it if you're worried about breaking the glass version.
Great (2009-05-05)
I bought this for my son in college. Wish I had gotten this one for myself instead of the breakable glass model. (BTW, the inside pieces do not interchange. You cannot simply buy an unbreakable beaker to replace the breakable glass one - sigh.) If you want good coffee, this will be part of your equipment. Be aware presses use a four ounce cup, NOT the standard 8 ounce cup when you buy one. An "eight cup" press will not make 8 cups and certainly not 8 mugs.
