The CHAMBORD Coffeemaker is the Original French Press. When Bodum took over a small clarinet factory in Normandy in 1982, it was not because of the fine orchestra clarinets they were producing but because of a relatively unknown coffee maker called the Chambord which they produced as well.

I bought this for my son in college. Wish I had gotten this one for myself instead of the breakable glass model. (BTW, the inside pieces do not interchange. You cannot simply buy an unbreakable beaker to replace the breakable glass one - sigh.) If you want good coffee, this will be part of your equipment. Be aware presses use a four ounce cup, NOT the standard 8 ounce cup when you buy one. An “eight cup” press will not make 8 cups and certainly not 8 mugs.

I broke a glass version of the same press earlier this year, and I didn’t want that problem again so I tried this version. I’m pretty happy with it. I think it’s a little pricey for basically a plastic press, but it still has a very nice classy feel to it that makes it worthwhile. I’d recommend it if you’re worried about breaking the glass version.
