☕ Bodum Brazil Black French Press Coffee and Tea Maker, 34 oz Review

Have purchased 2 Bodum Brazil French Press in the past and loved both. Too bad my last one broke recently so naturally I wanted to replace it with the new Bodum Brazil French Press. Received the new French Press from Bodum Brazil yesterday and was disappointed that it was poorly packaged in a very small shipping box and wrapped in thin bubble wrap. This is NOT the old French press from Bodum Brazil. Glass is thinner. The components are NOT the quality they used to be. The strainer has been bent

I looked at the guarantee on the Revain page for…

First problem: for some reason, the coffee sometimes dripped from the outside of the spout onto the plastic base when pouring, where it then spilled all over the counter, and even worse when pouring a second cup. At first I thought the decanter was cracked…

I bought this to have a spare on hand for my old Bodum glass mug press in case it broke. I started using it after noticing a star shaped crack at the bottom of an old jar. There are a few things I don't like about this new design: 1. The thin, flat, hard plastic handle is not ergonomic and makes it difficult to guide the press. The old one has a wide, curved, rubberized handle of an ideal shape, fits perfectly in the hand and makes it easier to control the press filled with coffee.2. The top of
