Bodum Chambord 51 oz French Press Coffee Maker, Borosilicate Glass and Polished Stainless Steel
The Chambord is the one silhouette here you have definitely seen before, and it has looked essentially like this since the 1950s design Bodum revived it from: polished steel frame, borosilicate beaker, little domed lid. There is no cord, no paper filter and nothing to program — coarse grounds, water just off the boil, four minutes, press. It makes the richest cup on this list because the coffee oils go into the cup instead of into a filter paper, it is still made in Portugal, and 51 oz pours four generous mugs for a slow weekend morning.
Let's buy this →Good to know: Everything is manual: you boil the water yourself, and the pot must be decanted promptly or it keeps extracting and turns bitter. The glass beaker is replaceable but breakable, so it is not the machine for a chaotic weekday.
