Bodum New French Press Coffee - Cooking.com Interview

[lawrence69hawk]

I like the comment about cooking the coffee in a sauce pan. But instead of drinking the coffee grounds, why not pour the coffee through a strainer as you pout it into your cup?

[klarinetta]

I HATE the new design of the Bodum Chambord press as well as the Bean press. You can't take the beaker out from the frame to clean it. I had an accident with water going over the top on my 3 cup Bean and now it looks like a mess on the inside and dirty on the outside and I can't clean it. Not pretty :(

So why this stupid new design :(

I've always loved Bodum and I want to continue to love Bodum but this is just a nonsense.

@klarinetta

I couldn't put up with coffee from my old coffee maker so I decided to try something new. I bought Bodum last week and I had same problem as you did. but I figured to separate beaker out from the metal frame and cleaned it. There's a screw by the handle, use screw driver and loosen it then you can separate beaker from frame, hope it helpfu;!

[klarinetta]

@shy826 thanks it might work for the Chambord but definitely not for the Bean

[dieselboi91]

the mug coffee press is pretty cool

[John27346]

What is the point of the double-walled french press? The coffee needs to be separated from the grindings after 20 minutes before it gets bitter.

[yogertlvr]

For the best cup of coffee, don't waste your money on fancy machines or gadgets like this. Take a small sauce pan, fill with water, bring to boil, add 1tablespoon coffee grounds per cup of coffee you plan to drink. turn off the water and steep for 2 minutes. Pour into you cup and add cream and sugar (if you wish) Yes there will be grounds, but coffee beans are edible. I love coffee from an old percolator, because the grounds has time to release the oils and flavors.

[javahaven1]

i love this

[custommeer]

the coarse grind is not really for the taste, but for the filter to catch the grinds. In this video they would achieve the same coffee even if they omit the pressing. It is just a filter, thats all. just take it out of the cup and put it in that holder. You dont need the plunger at all. Its just a gimmick to so they can call it french press. actually in a regular french press, even if you press the plunger half way, or even 10% of the way down, you get the same coffee.

[xdsk0x]

sweet i just bought a 3cup press at target :)

[jetfischer]

The small one would be good for backpacking and camping!

[chefcommons]

Nice work, we liked your video very much so we embedded it on ChefCommons w/ link back and reference to Youtube. (Let us know if you don't wish for it to be featured)

[jinggo78]

I'm proud to say I've never burned myself making coffee with any method. How funny. I guess it helps that I"m a morning person and I drink coffee for taste not just caffeine. That way I'm not injuring myself in order to enjoy myself LOLz.

[hardassteel]

i have my coffee delivered to me from an italian cafe every morning it is freshly roasted and freshly grinded and i only drink french pressed coffee with purified water, yeah its because i'm a snob, and i love coffee, cheers.

[patbelski]

i only drink coffee while i'm wearing my lynard skynard 89' tour t shirt with the sleeves cut off after a workout with my bros in the shower at the gym while i'm lurking the internet looking for opportunities to make fun of people that are curious about something that has no use to me just so i can feel better about myself and forget about how poorly i'm endowed.

[rem45acp]

@patbelski after reading this comment i completely forget what the video was about

[CrackerJackLee]

@patbelski

endowment is overrated... unless you need to join the Big Dick Club... because they examine prospective members... of course, what you do once you become a member has not yet been decided... probably better off at the gym drinking coffee...

[MrAnnexone]

@hardassteel soft as feathers by the sound of ya

[hardassteel]

@MrAnnexone I actually don't get my coffee from the italian cafe anymore, because there is no such thing as Italian coffee, they purchase their coffee beans at wholesale from Ethiopia which are some of the best coffee beans in the world. So, I get a much better price and ALSO it contributes to poor families in Africa if you buy "fair trade" coffee from there. I don't drink french press coffee anymore, I have changed to espresso.

[RodCornholio]

Love my double walled cups. They REALLY work.

The double walled press was long overdue and is outstanding for brewing as it keeps up the temperature for proper extraction HOWEVER, I would not recommend using it as a carafe since the grounds are still in contact with the water.

Freshly roasted LaMinita beans are my secret to a great cup.

[SHOPAH0LIC]

I love bodum press cups!

[kentpaul65102]

thats a really neat product ... not i am doing to get that

[BiggieHaddad]

really nic eproduct, i would like to have one of those small ones to take to school or somewhere xD

[Alfrunk]

A hot item - BUT only for TWO to FOUR HOURS! HAHHAHAHAHAHHHHAHAHHAHHHHHHH!!­!

[Isaidshutup]

Two to four hours? Jeeze, wouldn't that be a over-brewing. You got, at most, half an hour to serve your brew from a reguar french press before it is considered over-brewed. Anyone willing to drink coffee that's been sitting in grinds for four hours must be addicted. I'll stick with single serve drip filter.

[h0cas]

This is exactly what I was thinking. As anyone who has ever pressed their own coffee knows, after 20 minutes french press brew expires (becomes bitter), so it doesn't matter how long you can keep expired coffee warm.

I <3 bodum and own the original, but this new double walled (and double priced) version seems like a gimmick to me.

[xahntra]

so true

[jetfischer]

Keeps it warm for two ¨more¨ hours! what a joke!

[newbcxjl]

The sieve of a Bodum filter not fine enough :(

[bbaker90]

their filters are fine enough-- for a press pot, a more coarse grind size is needed than for "regular" (filter drip) coffee brewing. Try grinding more coarsely than you do for filter drip coffee (pre-ground coffees, which are usually ground for drip coffee, won't work in press pot). Also, the "silt"/"sludge" at the bottom of your cup is normal for ANY press pot coffee-- that's an issue with grinders, not the filter

[CovertCops]

I have to say I don't mind the silt/sludge so much. I just swirl it all around and drink it up!

[starbucksbear]

'probably two hours' ?

[danishpride1]

Made in Denmark..That's why i love it >3

[Masteroftrancegirl]

she didn't put enough water in that cup. i need more coffee than that. :(

[RickyTomatoes]

The rest is for milk: Cafe au lait.

[Mitsouko9]

Good demo, guys.

I like the double-insulated model. A must have!

[rbdevon3]
