The Brazil French Press coffee maker, designed in the early 80's, was our first coffee maker and quickly became a symbol of what Bodum stands for. Attractive and functional design at an affordable price. The Brazil has an ultra-light, heat-resistant borosilicate glass beaker and a polypropylene handle and base, which make the Brazil easy to use and easy to clean. The 3-part stainless steel plunger has a fine mesh filter, which allows for a premium extraction of your coffee’s aromatic oils and subtle flavors. A mesh filter allows this flavor to be delivered direct to your cup and not absorbed by a paper filter. Plus, no paper filter means no waste. The patented safety lid prevents the splashing of liquids while pressing. All parts are dishwasher safe. This 8-cup coffeemaker is (1.0 l, 34oz.) in size and is also available in 3-cup (0.35 l, 12 oz) size model.

When using a french press coffee maker, what kind of coffee should be used?
Is it possible to use the same coffee (in a french press coffee maker) as I use for a "drip brew" coffee machine?
yes, the size of grind is the same. Get the best you can afford with the strength of roast you like. Never get vacuum packed stuff, it sucks the volatile oils out of the coffee

Is coffee made in a french press stronger than a regular coffee maker? ?
I bought a french press coffee maker, and poured some coffee in, and made some. I got VERY dizzy for hours. Any any take on that? It was Starbucks brand coffee. I am do not drink coffee that often, I am caffeine sensitive if I haven't had coffee in a while.
yes because the coffee steeps in the hot water for much longer than a regular drip coffee maker. I think a lot of people would like to get dizzy from coffee as you did.
I need to replace a glass carafe for a french press coffee maker. I want it to fit Bodum of Starbucks?
Someone gave me a starbucks french press & I love it. But I dropped it & the glass carafe broke. So I bought the bodum & the carafe would fit into Starbucks so when my friend came over, shoe wouln't have to know i broke her gift. But my boyfriend broke the new carafe!
I was hoping to by TWO new carafes, not only for back up in case one of us gets clumsy again, but also so I can make more coffee more quickly when we have a lot of company over.
Any suggestions on where to look? Especially for a bargain!
Thanks!
you can always check at other coffeeshops. some sell the brand BODUM. or you can check the houseware section of the department store.
French press coffee maker in comparison to ordinary?
I'm looking to purchase a coffee pot for my upcoming apartment. As an avid coffee drinker and a bargain shopper, I'm looking into everything. I had a friend recommend a french press as well as some other brand name appliances. What are the differences and similarities to having a french press? What other things do I need to purchase along with a press and how does the coffee compare to ordinary pot making coffee?? Thanks!
some people say that coffee from a french press is much more flavorful, and I agree with them. The way it works is that the coffee grounds "steep" in hot water longer and you get much more flavor from the coffee grounds. A regular coffee maker works with dripping hot water "through" the coffee grounds. A lot of people like this method also. It's also very convenient for making a lot of coffee. The cons on making coffee with a french press is that you need coarse ground coffee. All preground stuff is made for regular coffee makers. Also, it's a hassle to clean a french press. Also, you can't make large quantities of coffee with a french press, unlike a coffee maker. If I were you, I would find a french press at a thrift store since they always have used ones for cheap there. Try it out and decide. edit: youtube has great vids on how to use a French press.
