Bodum 11030-01US4 1-Liter 8-Cup Make French Press Coffee and Tea Maker, Borosilicate Glass, Silicone, Polystyrene Plastic (PS), Black

This is my first French Press ever and I like it very much. I'm not much of a coffee drinker, but I have been trying to make coffee-flavored ice cream lately and trying to brew it with just a filter and a cup—and it hasn't been that successful. Enter, this French Press. — A "CUP" OF COFFEE — I bought the 12 oz white version. Now, coffee is measured by the cup, which isn't a normal cup. "One coffee cup" is equal to 4 fl oz (because that's a normal serving size for coffee). That's 1/3 of a soda can; it's not a lot. So when you buy a coffee maker that says "3-cups", it's not three actual cups, but 12 fluid ounces. Depending on your coffee habits, this can be enough for one person, or for two people. — HOW TO USE — This is very tiny coffee maker that's slightly larger than a soda can. It comes with very easy instructions on how to use it: 1) Take off the lid and strainer 2) Put 1 tbsp of coarse coffee grind per "cup" desired (3 tbsp would be the total this could hold) 3) Pour 4 fl oz of boiling water for each tbsp of coffee grind you put in (stir it around with a plastic stirrer, using metal could break the glass) 4) Put strainer and lid back on (don't push it down yet) 5) Let it brew for 5-10 minutes depending on how rich you want the flavor (I also like to stir it every five minutes) 6) Slowly push the top ball down until the strainer hits the bottom 7) Pour your coffee, enjoy — TIPS — You don't want to pour water all the way to the top because you need room for the strainer and lid. It takes a while to figure out the right amount. Only use coarse coffee grinds or larger, or it could clog up the strainer. Clean up is relatively easy with just a rinse after each use. — SUMMARY — This Bodum French Press is simple to use and looks very stylish in your kitchen. I can now add freshly brewed coffee to my coffee ice cream mixture! Get a size appropriate to how much coffee you drink. Recommended.

Me encanta! Ya tenía la versión pequeña de esta misma. Ojo, el material es borosilicato y no mantiene el calor. Una vez que hiciste tu café, si lo mantienes en la prensa se irá enfriando fácilmente. Si planeas estarlo sirviendo por tantos, lo ideal es prensarlo y pasarlo a un thermo. El material es un poco delgado y hay que tenerle cuidado a la hora de lavar y secar para que no se estrelle con otros trastes. La funcionalidad y la estética son excelentes

We ordered white but it is beige. Very small!

Excelente producto, espero me dure mucho tiempo.

Love the fact it’s compact enough for a cup (max 2) so I use it at the office to save space. It’s French press. Can’t get anymore complicated than that haha
