The Brazil French Press coffee maker, designed in the early 80's, was our first coffee maker and quickly became a symbol of what Bodum stands for. Attractive and functional design at an affordable price. The Brazil has an ultra-light, heat-resistant borosilicate glass beaker and a polypropylene handle and base, which make the Brazil easy to use and easy to clean. 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. All parts are dishwasher safe. This 8-cup coffeemaker is (1.0 l, 34oz.) in size and is also available in 3-cup (0.35 l, 12 oz) size model.

I am honestly amazed at how this product has revolutionized the way I think about drinking coffee. And it's such a simple concept too! Like many people, I used a small automatic drip machine for years to brew my coffee. Yet, it never tasted as good as what I could get from walking over to Starbucks, or the local coffee houses. Eventually I just gave up on making my own coffee. To me, coffee has always been about carving out a few minutes of my day to slow down and enjoy the sight, smell, and taste of this drink. Drip coffee? Not cutting it.
After doing some financial research and discovering how much I was spending at the local Starbucks each month, I thought that there had to be a way to make my daily brew at home and have it taste good too. My first inkling was to purchase one of those Keurig single-cup machines with the pre-measured coffee inserts. However, the environmentalist in me cringed at the prospect of all that individual packaging. The coffee purist in me wavered at the thought of using pre-packaged, pre-ground coffee. So, after walking through Target during one of those "spending way more money than I should because everything here is awesome" trips, I opted to try out this Bodum 8-"cup" (cup, being 4 oz in Bodum Land) French Press.
Following the instructions, I made my first brew of coffee that next morning and, honestly, it was the best home made coffee I have ever tasted. It is so good, and so far superior to drip coffee in quality, taste, texture, and aroma, that I wouldn't hesitate to say that pressed coffee is an entire genre unto itself. I probably lack the coffee vocabulary to explain how it tastes. It's just better, plain and simple. It's smooth, complex, and very tasty.
Wonderful product. Easy to clean, easy to use, and it produces a cup of coffee superior to all others. Plus it looks neat.

After hearing two of my sons rave about how good coffee prepared in a French Press is I decided to give it a shot. This 34 ounce size Bodum was just right for my wife and me along with our Brazilian exchange student. A friend had given me a coffee grinder as a Christmas present and I had experimented with grinding beans for a drip coffee maker. It was good and certainly convenient to set the timer and have the coffee ready when I woke. I have now traded in that convenience for a much better cup of coffee. There is something special about my morning ritual as I grind beans and boil water. I am thinking I may need a 12 cup press for entertaining.

This coffee press helped me discover how great coffee can be. If you want great coffee, but have a small budget, buy this item and also the Krups grinder...Krups 203-42 Fast Touch Coffee Grinder, Black
Every morning has been fantastic since I got these. No more having to add 3 splendas and a pinch of salt to fight the bitterness of bad coffee.
As for function, this works great. Easy to use...just add ground coffee and hot water, stew for 3 minutes, press, and pour. Also cleans well. Usually I just rinse it off with water until I run the dishwasher. Then pop it in and it comes out great.
Yes, the black parts are plastic, but I don't find it unappealing, and it appears very sturdy. Unless the filter breaks off or something (which seems doubtful) I don't expect it to have any issues any time soon.
It also makes great tea, by the way....use it exactly the same way. I haven't used my tea ball at all since I bought this.
Really cool way to add spice to coffee too since you can just add it to the grounds in the bottom and it does a better job of incorporating your cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamon, chili or whatever else you might want a touch of if you like it flavored.

I am completely new to grinding fresh bean and using a french press. It's almost like a whole new beverage. I don't think i could ever go back to the prepackaged automatic drip stuff at work. I tried it black, usually I use a little milk, and saw no need to add anything to it. I'm definitely going to buy a second press for loose tea. Clean up is a breeze. I've fallen in love with coffee again.
