Bodum are a name synonymous with the French press method of coffee preparation. Simply fill with a couple of spoonfuls of coffee grounds, then add hot water. Leave to brew, then depress the plunger to halt the brewing process. You can also twist the lid around to block the spout off. This model features double-walled stainless steel, which keeps coffee hotter for longer than the traditional glass beaker French press. As well as looking attractive, the polished metal is also more resistant to accidental damage than the glass versions. You can expect coffee to stay warm for hours after brewing. Large enough for about 8 small cups of coffee.
