Bodum Kenya 4-Cup French Press Coffee maker, 17-Ounce

Perfect size for me; easy to use and to clean and store. I had one exactly this size for 15 years and one day.... HORRORS..... I dropped it and broke it! Oh noooo.....boo hoo hooooo........ I shopped for this one and finally found it!! Oh happy day!! I love this coffee press because of it's simplicity. Not all coffee presses are the same. I love that I can turn the lid around to close the spout, then turn it back around to pour. Not all presses allow this. It says "4-cup" but that really means about a cup and a half in my big mug. Bodum refers to a Cup as 4 oz! Anyway, this is a great little coffee press, and I'm glad to have it.

It makes 16-18 oz (depending on how high you fill it) which is perfect for my travel mug. Most of the other smaller French presses make only 12 oz, and the typical ones make a quart or more. It feels solidly built as well. The screen seems better (than my previous 12 oz press) at keeping most of the French press sludge from getting in the coffee.

4 stars and not 5 because there are plastic parts in contact with the coffee: never a good idea. and is a potential failure feature.

Simple and a to the point

This is great if you don't want to spend a ton on a k-cup machine. It makes a delicious cup of joe for one person. Don't be misled, this really only makes enough for one person (unless you drink it out of the smaller, classically designed cups). It also would behoove you to get the coarse ground coffee, it just makes it a little more rich. Though I have used the fine ground on numerous occasions and it still works well!

What can we say here, it works exactly as it should. The screening is nice and snug, and the carafe is a great size for someone who likes a few mugfuls or a couple enjoying a morning cuppa together.I use mine for steeping loose leaf teas and no matter what I put in it, it strains perfectly.One thing I love about this particular press over the less expensive choices is the fact that the screen housing drops in without having to fenagle it past the handle clip at the top of the carafe like on other models. So silly, but since it is just a great French Press and they are a fairly standard item, I was wondering what I could say that would help you make the decision to purchase this. So there you have it, so great I really had to reach for something to highlight it out.

I love this french press! My old Bodum broke - the metal washer that held the filter was coming loose and then the glass shattered from light impact - and I was hesitant to buy another. But this one seems to be better constructed, and it makes just enough for me at the office.

We’ve used a larger model happily for years. Got this 4-cup Kenya for brewing one serving. Discovered at first wash that the glass is attached to the carafe. But whatever adhesives are used only seal the bottom — the other seams are not sealed so water and soap get in there but don’t drain and dry well. Not cool. That’s a recipe for gunk and mold. Will be returning for the stainless steel version, which is one piece, or a brand/model where the glass and carafe completely separate.

a beautiful and very good coffee maker

Besonders positiv: Die Glaskanne sitzt in einem stabilen Rahmen. Da wackelt und rutscht nichts. Alles absolut sicher. Die Kaffeebereitung ist ein Kinderspiel. Ausserdem sieht das Ganze gut und wertig aus.

Utilisation très facile et pratique pour un café au top. Satisfait de mon achat.

Pratique et de bonne qualité !!

Finns inget att ogilla, bara att gilla. Smidigt, praktiskt, bra filter, gott kaffe.
