The Bottom Line:
I would instantly recommend the Bodum Chambrod Coffee Maker .35L to any cup-a-day drinker who likes a little perfection in their coffee.
Perhaps it's my inner bachelor, struggling, among other things, with the strikingly simple concept of making coffee; or perhaps there is some atmospheric anomaly hovering above my kitchen that infuses large doses of mediocrity into the coffee that I make. Either way, the perfect cup of coffee always found it's way out of the scope of my abilities. Whether it was the weak coffee-like tea that my dripper would produce or the burly black sludge that I created with the percolator, I was never able to really preserve the intended taste of my Joe.
Then a friend of ours gave us the Bodum Chambord French Press as a christmas gift. Lo and behold, the atmospheric anomaly immediately dissipated and we've been enjoying perfect coffee ever since.
The Bodum Chambord uses the steeping process to brew your favorite coffee to perfection. As a matter of fact, my wife and I are able to enjoy different potencies by letting hers steep a little longer than mine.
The process is too simple. Add about as many spoons of coffee as cups you want to drink into the pyrex-esque, .35 liter cup. Add boiling water. Then pop the plunger lid onto the cup to cover and let it steep to your desired octane. In about 5 minutes, lower the filtered plunger as far as it will go to push the floating coffee grounds to the bottom. Pour. If you like stronger coffee, steep it for another 5 minutes, that's all it'll take.
The stainless steel frame in which the decanter sits is nice and classy to the extent that, even half full and a day old, it still looks stylish on your counter. The filter is beautifully functional and retains its integrity, keeping stray grounds at bay. We've had ours for about a year now and we're still ground free. The cup itself is both dishwasher and microwave safe. Both are very convenient attributes. The former, because I'm a lazy lazy man. Anything dishwasher safe is OK in my book. The latter, because you'll definitely need it!
The problem with this particular model is that .35 liters doesn't go very far. If you do have left over coffee in the decanter, it will go cold just as quickly as if you left your cup out on the counter for any length of time. There really is no method for keeping that left over .10 liters of coffee warm after the first pour. I know for a fact that this is also a problem with the larger models although you do get a minute or two more heat with the 1.5 liter jobby.
Another downfall of the .35 liter model is not a problem for me, but for the uber-drinker that I live with: we both get 1 medium sized cup, which gives me just the right boost for the day. For my wife, however, that's just about enough to get the left eye-lid fully open but that's about it. Inevitably, she must re-enact the whole process to get her full fix.
However, this is an easily fixable problem. Go buy the bigger model.
So, if you're a cup-a-day drinker like my self, the .35 liter Bodum Chambord Coffee Press really is the single best purchase you can make for yourself.
