Good value cafetière
Good product that accommodates 2 full cups of coffee. Looks good and doesn’t feel cheap. Dishwasher compatible too. I am very happy with this purchase.

Follow a system and it's fine
This is a good little French press (or cafetière) rated as 4-cup capacity, or 500ml in real money. According to the Taylors Coffee website a litre of water requires 60g of ground coffee, so the 'normal' dose for this nifty gizmo would be 30g. You vary this to taste. (Look for 'Coffee Science' in the 'Blog' section of the Taylors Coffee website.) I use a supermarket 'special' coffee when I want caffeine and Taylors Decaffé when I don't. The good folk at Taylors use a water process to extract the caffeine. (I am not on their payroll; I just like their style.) It works like all of them, but there are some points to note. I mention them because some other reviewers seem to have been caught out and in one case suffered a scalding water 'event' requiring a visit to A&E. No joke. (A) General safety - Don't use a fine grind: it will block the mesh filter, which will act like a solid metal piston inside the glass cylinder. You will force the plunger down, and pressure will build up. Guess what happens next. - Don't bang a full load of boiling water into the cold vessel. The glass is supposed to be resistant to thermal shock, but why chance it? (B) Making the coffee - Warm up your Bodum (that sounds odd) by sloshing some warm water inside it. - Heave in the coffee, weighing it if you want to titrate it to the weight that suits your palate over a few days of experimentation. Your assistant, Igor, will help you with this :) - Add the water. This should *not* be boiling. Back in the 1960s Scandinavian researchers reckoned that boiling water + coffee = increased risk of gut problems, so get the water hot but not boiling. (In my opinion this also retains more of the oxygen.) The 'Coffee Science' link above suggests a range of temperatures, although you'd need a thermometer as well to get it right. Up to you. Maybe Igor has one. - Stir the mixture after 30 seconds or so to encourage the coffee to sink - don't use metal (the glass is thin) - then install the plunger mechanism at the top of the glass and put the lid into position. Don't push anything. Just wait ... - ... and while you are waiting make sure that the little slits in the plastic lid are over the spout. Bodum boobed here - there's no mark on the lid to show when it is in the right position. - After your brewing time, depress the plunger. Tell it you don't love it any more. I use a timer set to 3min 30sec - but again it is a matter of taste. Don't over-brew, though, or you'll get bitter coffee. Yuk. - Pour immediately. *While pouring, hold the lid.* You'd do it with a teapot, and you need to do it with this. The plastic cradle gets soft with the heat and the glass vessel may otherwise slide out like a torpedo and you'll be on your way to A&E. The more expensive version of this with the metal cradle may not have this problem. This Bodum is a good size if you have a pint coffee mug. If you need spares, they are on offer on several websites: check their prices for things like filter mesh. Amazon can sometimes be beaten.

Makes a good cup of coffee
Excellent! I can get 3 mugs of coffee out of this, though I only need one. Makes a good cold brew too. Cleans well. The glass jug seems to be durable however I am careful with how I use and store it.

Jug not the best fit
Lovely looking press and ideal size for me to make a big mug of fresh coffee. Unfortunately - the jug doesn't fit snuggly into the holder part and when giving it a gentle shake to empty it- the jug just fell out and smashed. As it was only the 2nd time of use very disappointing.

Je possédais déjà une Bodum grand format, celle ci est très pratique car son volume correspond a un mug. Parfait pour un café en solo! Avec toujours la qualité Bodum au rendez vous, et un design sympa, le tout pour 10€, que demander de plus!
