French Press coffee maker BODUM Chambord 8-cup, black frame with chrome and glass carafe

Brewing relies on a stainless-steel mesh plunger that separates grounds from liquid, delivering a full-bodied extraction suitable for home or small office use. The product is finished with multiple chrome plating processes to ensure a durable shiny surface while manufactured according to updated environmental standards for plating. The approximate weight is 963.9 g.

Advantages

The Chambord uses a simple, time-tested French press method that highlights the natural oils and flavors of coarsely ground coffee. The glass carafe allows visual control of the brew, while the chrome-plated steel frame provides structural stability and durability. The stainless-steel mesh filter offers metal filtration that preserves body without paper-filter waste. The polypropylene handle provides a comfortable, heat-resistant grip for safe serving.

How to use

Preheat the glass carafe with hot water, then discard the water. Add coarsely ground fresh coffee to the carafe according to desired strength. Pour hot water heated to 92–96 °C over the grounds, ensuring all grounds are saturated. Stir gently to immerse the grounds, place the lid with the plunger raised, and let steep for the chosen time (commonly 3–4 minutes). After steeping, press the stainless-steel plunger down slowly and evenly to separate grounds from brewed coffee. Serve immediately to preserve aroma and flavor.

Recommendations

For best extraction, use freshly roasted, coarsely ground beans and water between 92–96 °C. Adjust coffee-to-water ratio and steeping time to taste; a common starting point is about 1:15–1:17 (coffee grams to water grams). Clean the mesh filter and glass carafe after each use to avoid oily residue buildup and preserve flavor clarity.
