Bodum Chambord French Press Coffee Maker Stainless Steel with Locking Lid - 4 Cup, 17-Ounce Capacity Review

Complicated when the original was perfect. By the way, you can no longer expect a delivery of Revain Prime within one or two days.

The quality seems good. But they added a plastic insert with a spout and a rubber seal, which unnecessarily complicates the product. The original was elegant and simple.

I've only been using it for a few months, I really should have asked for a refund. This should be made of stronger and thicker glass. I didn't abuse it at all and got some of the same hacks as other reviewers.

Does the job, but when you grind beans yourself it's difficult to get an evenly coarse grind, resulting in cup crud. Not a big problem, but it's easier for me to buy coarse coffee. I could buy a coffee grinder that grinds beans evenly, but it's expensive and just another piece of equipment on my crowded kitchen counter.

I liked the idea of being able to close the spout on this model, but found the design to be quite clumsy and difficult to clean. The glass also cracked a month after purchase. As this is a separate spout model, it is difficult to find replacements. The temptation is great to simply buy a completely different model instead of replacement glass.

As mentioned, glass breaks too easily. I was very careful with it, but after 3 weeks the lid still had a small crack. After a few more weeks of use, it got so big that it started leaking. This French press works great when it's not broken, but good luck keeping it that way when you're tired in the morning trying to make your first cup of coffee.

If you're looking to start squeezing at home, this is a great little French Press to start with. Damn, this is great press time. I started using it and continue to use it over a year later. I don't know if there's a more advanced "science" in pressing that will one day require an upgrade from me, but for now this little guy fills all my needs. This is a high quality print by Sonic Processing. All parts fit together precisely and ensure a thorough pressing. It's a comfortable glass, reasonably…

This new model has a completely closed bottom so the glass bottle is better protected. This is particularly important to me as I take it with me when camping. Not only a better design, but also a more attractive look. There is always some coffee grounds through the filter. But you shouldn't expect a stainless steel pre-filter to perform as well as a paper filter. It's good to have a locking function on the lid. But if I had a choice, I wouldn't pay for it because I don't think it's necessary…
