Best Coffee Press

Such a quality product! We upgraded from a coffee mate press which worked just fine but wasn't big enough to make two cups of coffee. It's only been in use for a week or so. Less residue in the bottom of our coffee cups, the top seals well alleviating leaking when pouring coffee, and the best part is the press keeps the grounds at bay.- The Bodum sticker is placed between the sleeve and the glass, but I don't see how to remove the sleeve. I wish the sticker was on the inside so I can remove it.

Easy to make, high-end-café cup of coffee

Let me start off by saying this is not my first Bodum french press. I actually purchased this one to gift to my father. We've enjoyed plenty of coffee from this press together and he absolutely loves it. There is no way anyone, in my opinion, can go back to drip coffee after having this. Everything comes apart so that you can easily throw it in the dishwasher and have everything deeply cleaned after multiple uses or when changing coffee flavors. My personal favorite ratio of coffee (g) to water (ml) would be 1:12 which would equate to roughly 30g of coarse coffee grounds to 355ml (12oz) of fresh, spring water.

Experience coffee like never before

The build quality is excellent and the aesthetic is very tasteful. Here is how I have enjoyed my coffee:1) Use ratio of 1:12 grams of coffee to ml of water.2) Use spring water for maximum taste.3) Use freshly course ground coffee beans from your local roaster.4) Heat water to precisely 200F.5) Fill the press with the coffee grounds and pour the nearly boiling water in.6) Stir if you feel is necessary and let brew for 4 minutes.7) Pour and enjoy the best cup of coffee.

LOVE THIS FRENCH PRESS

Great price for a superb French press! Love it! Have purchased others from Macy’s and other department stores in the past but had to replace them because they accidentally got knocked off the kitchen counter. Don’t have to worry about this with this press because of the best feature of all, the protective outer barrier. Would highly recommend this product to family/friends! Well worth the money spent on it.

Love It!!!

We broke our glass beaker. It was the traditional style with little protection. Instead of replacing the glass beaker we bought a different brand french press that was on sale (Bialetti). I hated it because the plunger was inferior to that Bodum. It was difficult to unscrew the mesh filter to thoroughly clean. When I saw the Bodum Eileen french press, I bought because it gives more protection for the glass. We are a bit clumsy in our family and our old one survived a few drops before the glass broke.

Love it!!!

Love my new French press. It’s sleek, attractive, and makes the best coffee. The glass cylinder pulls out for an easy wash but secure enough so it won’t slip out when pouring. It states it makes 8 cups, however, those are European measurements; it actually makes 4 cups (32 oz). I tested it against my Hamilton one serve coffee maker and there is a huge difference in taste. You can actually see the oils from the coffee beans in your cup, whereas the other methods, the oil is removed. If I could have a do over, I wouldn’t have wasted my money on any other coffee maker because the French press makes amazing coffee, takes up less space, it doesn’t add waste to the environment with any filters or k-cups, and it’s cheaper than any coffee machine.

Makes great coffee fast!

I used to have a French Press coffee maker years ago and broke. It was not high end but I enjoyed the coffee it made. I was in my local Best Buy one day and stumbled upon the Bodum - Eileen French Press Coffeemaker and the kind associate told me it was on sale as well. I love the design of the metal casing which also protects the glass insert. Fast and easy, easy cleanup! No filters! the makes the best coffee I have ever had! I would give it 20 stars if I could! No electrical parts to burn out either! Buy it!

Nice French Press for the money

Using a French press for making coffee is so much better than your average coffee maker coffee. The flavor of your coffee is much richer. This French press does the trick a good price. Pretty basic set up and easy to use. We have had French presses before that were smaller. it is nice to have one that holds more water For making more coffee. Works as other French presses do.

Not Durable for Cost$!

- My fiancé and I prefer French press coffee over pour over or drip; so while browsing the store, we noticed this attractive press with its modern styling and absolutely had to have it even for the somewhat costly price tag of 50$ for a glass beaker and metal... but You get the point for 50$ I expect at least 5mm or 7mm glass maybe? At least durable if thinner... but this glass is anything but durable.... Press worked absolutely perfectly for about 1 month, not even quite, then we opened the dishwasher and it was broken laying in the bottom of the dishwasher... So no impact, nothing around it to have hit it.. simply the heating and cooling of glass.. This is a coffee maker you would think it could handle going from hot to cold. So when we went to return to Best Buy ... More- My fiancé and I prefer French press coffee over pour over or drip; so while browsing the store, we noticed this attractive press with its modern styling and absolutely had to have it even for the somewhat costly price tag of 50$ for a glass beaker and metal... but You get the point for 50$ I expect at least 5mm or 7mm glass maybe?

So when we went to return to Best Buy they apologized but as we all probably have learned the hard way. Best Buy doesn’t have the best return policy, and understandably so with its costly selection of electronics. But with all that said they directed me to the manufacturer and reassured me that they would fix the issue for me! So when on the phone with the manufacturer they inform me that they warranty everything about the product, yet they do not cover or warranty the glass... But I can purchase a replacement beaker for 35$ after shipping and handling. The manufacturer informed me, “this is a very common happening, and most people just vie to buy a full new press. No discounts offered no apologies just that they’re glass breaks often too bad and that they sell more... So I guess take this all into consideration when purchasing this press unfortunately.... By the way I hardly ever leave negative reviews, simply due to the fact that anymore most retailers or companies stand by their products... Well longer than 30 days or whatever...
