Bodum Chambord French Press Coffee Maker

The carafe is made from heat-resistant borosilicate glass, which is durable but still glass. If it does break, Bodum offers replacement glass beakers, so you don't have to replace the entire stainless steel frame.

To maintain the finish and integrity of the materials, we recommend hand washing the carafe and plunger components with warm, soapy water. Avoid abrasive sponges to keep the glass clear and scratch-free.

The single-wall borosilicate glass does not provide the same thermal retention as a vacuum-insulated carafe. It is best to serve the coffee immediately after brewing for the optimal temperature and flavor profile.

For the best results, use a coarse grind, similar to the texture of sea salt. A finer grind can pass through the stainless steel mesh filter, resulting in a sediment-heavy cup of coffee.

Yes, the French Press is an excellent tool for brewing loose-leaf tea. The immersion method works similarly to coffee, allowing the leaves to expand fully for a robust flavor extraction.
