Bodum Chambord French Press

The 4-cup model has a capacity of 12 ounces. In the world of French presses, a 'cup' is typically defined as 3 to 4 ounces, so this size is best suited for one large mug of coffee.

The carafe is made from durable borosilicate glass, which is designed to withstand thermal shock. While it is sturdy, it is still glass, so it is best to avoid using metal spoons to stir the coffee, as they can scratch or crack the interior.

The stainless steel mesh filter is highly effective at extracting oils and flavors for a full-bodied brew. However, because it is a metal mesh rather than a paper filter, you may find a small amount of fine sediment at the bottom of your cup, which is characteristic of the French press method.

Yes, the entire unit is dishwasher safe. For the best longevity, we recommend disassembling the plunger and filter assembly before placing them in the dishwasher to ensure a thorough clean.

For the best results, use a coarse grind, similar to the texture of sea salt. A grind that is too fine can pass through the mesh filter and make your coffee taste bitter or gritty.
