Customer Response

Bodum Stainless Steel Thermal Press
A definite MUST-HAVE if you are into coffee. I am a certified barista and this will give you a great cup of coffee as compared to most commercially-prepared coffees sold by the coffee-shop chains especially if the barista in question doesn't know what they are doing which is quite often.

Better to make the investment in something like this as opposed to the glass coffee-press although this will not KEEP the coffee HOT indefinitely as per other reviewers.

What's not to like?
This bulbous-little-bird shaped French press
makes great, mucky, dark coffee - keeps it fairly
hot and is darn-close to unbreakable.

I have broken at least one-half dozen French presses
prior to owning this one. I think I would have
to run over this with a car to break it.

A wise investment for the long-term enjoyment of
French press coffee or loose tea, like Yerba Mate.

Absolutely Beautiful and Functional
I absolutely love this press pot. In addition to keeping my coffee piping hot, it looks gorgeous on my counter.

French Press Coffee Maker
The only reason I wouldn't give this a 5 star is that some of the internal plunger/filter apparatus was made of plastic. Our reason for purchasing this item was to get away from plastic parts in our coffee maker. Our glass French press had all stainless steel parts (also from Bodum), fortunately these parts were interchangeable so we merely retired the plastic parts, along with the old glass pot, and now our coffee is plastic free and the Stainless-Steel Thermal Press works GREAT!

We've saved $$$ in the first year alone
I bought this back in May 2007. I prefer to wait and post my reviews on kitchen tools and appliances later, so that I can report on the durability.

The Bodum 8-Cup provides enough coffee for my wife and I to start our morning. We use extra large coffee mugs(check out my review of the fantastic Pfaltzgraff Mystic Coffee Mugs), so we get two full mugs with each pot.

Other reviews cite problems with the filter but that's not been my experience. Like other buyers, I was taken aback by the initial cost of a stainless-steel press pot but I didn't want to go through the experience of another glass pot. Every glass pot I've owned before has broken and the last one nearly cut the back of my wife's fingers as she was cleaning it.

We stopped buying coffee at stands when we bought this press pot. At $2-$4 a cup, we've saved hundreds of dollars in the first year alone.

I then bought the Thermos Nissan 34-Ounce Stainless-Steel Vacuum Insulated Briefcase Bottle (another great product -- see my review) and started taking a second pot of coffee to work.

The Bodum stainless-steel press pot is durable, produces great-tasting coffee and helps us save money.
