Bodum CAFFETTIERA Coffee Maker, Black, 1L-8 Cups

I’ve moved from French press to Moka pot, to Aero press and then back to good ol French press.My opinion is that if you have a good burr grinder and love to enjoy your coffee without milk and sugar, a French press is all you need since it is very forgiving, can make coffee in different capacities and is very easy to use and clean.Earlier I had a blade grinder and didn’t like French press much but now with my manual burr grinder, the best coffee I make is with French press. I have tried a lot but can’t get as good coffee with Aeropress or Moka pot. Might try pour over someday but for now, French press for the win!And this one from Bodum is great. It’s glass container so no plastic. No use of paper filters. The mesh filter works perfectly if your grind size is right. If you’re using espresso grounds in a French press then surely grounds will pass through the filter. It’s not the fault of the product.

Great quality for the price, sturdy enough and doesn't leak, very pleased, looks great too

Bought this French Press for me and my work colleagues to enjoy some fresh ground coffee. I've got to say that overall for the price and quality it's really good and we're all really satisfied with it.I admit that it doesn't feel as sturdy and strong as my other Bodum French Press at home of the same size but I paid less for this one so it's to be expected. Overall really happy. Bodum are a great brand to trust for French Press'.And as with all french presses life is super easy when it comes to cleaning - Empty the liquid and scrape the grinds into the bin and then just water, soap and a few presses followed by a cold rince and you're done.

More sturdy than the plastic version, which I had before, that cracked after a few months of use.

Perfect for a lovely homemade coffee. We filled if half full and it made two mugs.

You know that Boodum always delivers on quality, and it does here. Limited grinds escape when you plunge and big enough for two very large mugs.

Great to have a replacement when accidents happen.

I've had one of these before. I had it for years and used it daily, and one day I noticed my precious coffee was dribbling onto the counter and I realised it had a crack in it. I suspect I'd bashed it, as I'd had it for about 5 years before the crack. After it broke, I tried another cheaper one. It was ok, but just not as good as the Bodum one.I like a massive mug of coffee, I don't do little cups or small mugs. I even take a mug with me when we visit my in-laws because they have tiny mugs. I took it to Spain when we'd booked a villa for three weeks too. There were three already there, but not as good as this one, otherwise I'd have nicked one of theirs. I nicked a mug, but replaced it with a smaller one and left a note.The cafetiere has a lovely tight filter which goes right to the bottom of the jug and you rarely get coffee grinds in the coffee you pour out. Another important feature for me is that it's all dishwasher safe. I'm very anal about getting glasses and cutlery gleaming and the same goes for the cafetiere so it's great that it's dishwasher safe. Also, you can just wash the jug separately as it comes out of the holder. My cheaper one didn't do this and wasn't recommended for dishwashers.Sometimes you really do get what you pay for and this is certainly the case here. If you like your coffee fresh and to have enough coffee for a massive mug (or several small ones) then I would say buy this one. I'm going to have to go and make a coffee now.
