Don't underestimate the rich dark coffee that only this simple but elegant brewing method can make. Start with freshly roasted beans, coarsly ground. Add the grinds to the glass beaker, fill with boiling water, stir with a non-metal spoon and let the grinds steep for 3-4 minutes. Then, slowly press down the plunger and pour. This deep, dark, rich coffee will have some sediment...but that's what makes it one of Europe's best kept secrets.

Bodum has combined the skills of these Normandy craftsmen with modern production, and the price became affordable to the many people who loved the taste of the coffee brewed in this unique coffee maker, later known as the French press coffee brewer. Thanks to Bodum and thanks to the increasing need for better coffee, the French press coffee maker became one of the most popular coffeemakers in the world.

8 cup coffee press.

Please Note: French Presses are measured in 2.5 oz demi-tasse cups. A three cup model makes about one standard mug's worth. The eight cup model (our most popular) makes two to three standard mug's worth.
