Bodum French Press 8 cup
Bodum French Press 8 cup
Okay, to some the idea of using a French press
coffee maker is a little too precious, bordering on snobbishness. I
used to be in that boat until a few hours ago. Tonight on a whim, I
purchased this Bodum French press. Now I should warn you readers that
it is generally NOT a good idea to test out your shiny new french press
when you are getting home at 10:30pm on a Monday after spending way too
much money at Target when you just ran in to get "dog food". I write
this review so heavily caffienated that I will probably stay up until
dawn tonight re-organizing my closets or alphabetizing my CD collection
or doing some other useless task. Despite being a daily coffee drinker
(of the muddy variety the office's Bunn machine churns out), one cup
from the french press has knocked me into the stratosphere, and that
alone is worth giving this product 5 stars.
My caffiene overdose aside, this press produces the best coffee I have ever had at home, and it truly rivals or surpasses coffee I've had at coffee houses. It's slightly more involved than using an automatic maker, but not difficult at all. The unit itself is pretty sturdy, and looks lovely.
French press coffee is a great alternative to using those smaller 1-2 cup automatic drip makers. Being single, I've gone through my share of those, and the coffee they make alway seems about ten times worse than the coffee from a normal-sized drip maker. If you like to make a large pot of coffee and drink it throughout the morning, I would suggest picking up a good quality carafe or thermos to keep the coffee warm.
Pros:
-Best tasting coffee you'll ever have at home, period. Read more ›
