Bodum Chambord French Press

The 17-ounce capacity is designed to produce about two standard 8-ounce cups of coffee. It is an ideal size for a single person or a couple who prefer a fresh brew without leftovers.

While the borosilicate glass is heat-resistant and durable, it is still glass. It is best to avoid using metal spoons to stir your coffee, as they can chip or crack the glass; a wooden or plastic spoon is a safer choice.

Yes, all parts of the Bodum Chambord are dishwasher safe. However, hand washing with warm, soapy water is often recommended to maintain the finish of the stainless steel frame and the clarity of the glass over time.

No, the Chambord uses a built-in stainless steel mesh filter system. This allows the natural oils and fine particles of the coffee grounds to pass into your cup, which is what gives French press coffee its signature full-bodied texture and rich flavor.

You should use a coarse grind, similar to the texture of sea salt. A grind that is too fine can pass through the mesh filter, resulting in a gritty cup of coffee and making the plunger difficult to press down.
