Bodum B1308-16 Columbia Double Wall French Press

1. The stainless steel non matte version is extremely scratch prone. So, enjoy how it looks when you take it out of the box then forget what it looked like when you took it out the box.1.5 it's a nicely constructed press. The only let down is the lid which feels/is cheaper. There was a better way and they opted for shiny plastic...not ideal.2. Flavour-wise...I use a one cup bodum french press and an aeropress and am pretty consistent/confident with both. Scaling more coffee+more water from the one cup to this didn't work well. I got some very strange flavours out of it. I played around with grind coarseness and that has helped. Just keep an eye out.3. Coffee stays warm a good amount of time. Let down by the aforementioned lid.Sum: decent product. Worth it when on sale. I wouldn't fork over full asking.

デザインはいいですが作りが雑です。持ち手のジョイント部分が傷？なのか？でこぼこでした。蓋の中はプラスチック。写真を見る限り全てステンレスに見えますが実際は違います。オールステンレスを探していたためと、高価な割にステンレスの仕上げの悪さ、また、他の方も記載されていますが、ポルトガル製の紹介なのに、中国製という騙しの商品のため返品しました。

If you use a French press daily like me, you will eventually come to the conclusion that glass is not the way forward. That’s because whether it’s a quality Bodum one or a cheap supermarket equivalent, they break very easily. Whether you just slightly tap them, knock them, put them in the dishwasher or even just pouring hot water into them they eventually crack after a few months. This Bodum stainless steel is a perfect alternative. Firstly it looks great with its curved design. The lid and filter are not stainless steel but rather than being a cost saver, I think the filter with its silicon edge and plastic mesh works better than a stainless steel filter. No grains of coffee in the bottom of your cup with this French press. Also if you are worried about a metallic taste like I was, be assured that there isn’t one. Besides if you are boiling your water in a stainless steel kettle it will make no difference anyway. If you can get this on special offer like I did, grab it immediately it’s fantastic. Even at full price I would thoroughly recommend. For 2 large mugs of coffee you need the 1 litre size.

This keeps the coffee nice and warm and is big enough for two mugs each. The first time I used it, it exploded scalding water down my arm, but suspect it was my fault for not allowing it to stand for long enough.It's a lovely looking thing, but is let down by the cheap plastic lid, which marks easily and somewhat spoils the effect.Sadly, it is made in China, but then I couldn't find one that wasn't including my last Royal Doulton and the Georg Jenson Bernadotte.

This was a present for my son who is very fussy about the look of his kitchen equipment. It's very easy to clean and makes excellent coffee. Whether it really keeps the contents warmer than other pots I don't know, the metal must absorb a lot of heat from the coffee. However if you heat the pot with boiling water before use it would definitely help.Anyway he seems very happy with his present.
