- Heritage: The Chambord French Press is a classic design that dates back to the 1950s. It is celebrated for its iconic design and has remained a favorite among coffee enthusiasts for decades.
- Materials: The frame and lid are made from steel and undergo several chrome plating processes. This results in a durable, shiny surface that can withstand years of intensive use.

- Handle: The matte black polypropylene handle offers a comfortable grip while serving. It complements the classic aesthetic and adds functionality.
-
Brewing Excellence:
- French Press System: The French press system is known for its simplicity and effectiveness. It allows you to brew coffee by steeping coarse-ground coffee beans in hot water. The plunger then separates the grounds from the brewed coffee, resulting in a rich and flavorful cup.
- Temperature: Ideal brewing occurs with water temperatures between 92 and 96 degrees Celsius. This temperature range helps in extracting the best flavors from the coffee grounds.

User-Friendly:
- Simple Operation: Using the Chambord French Press is straightforward. Add fresh coarse-ground coffee beans, pour hot water, stir, let it steep, and then press the plunger to separate the grounds from the coffee.
- Easy to Clean: The French press is easy to disassemble and clean. The glass carafe and metal parts can be washed separately, ensuring thorough cleaning after each use.
Quality and Build:
- Durability: The steel frame, chrome plating, and glass carafe contribute to the coffee maker's durability and resilience. It’s designed to withstand frequent use while maintaining its classic appearance.
- Design Philosophy: Bodum’s Chambord French Press embodies a commitment to both aesthetic appeal and functionality. The design combines traditional elements with modern materials to create a timeless piece that performs exceptionally well.
Usage and Care Tips:
-
Usage:
- Brewing Coffee: Add coarsely ground coffee beans to the carafe. Pour hot water (between 92-96°C) over the grounds. Stir gently, place the lid on with the plunger pulled up, and let it steep for about 4 minutes. Press the plunger down slowly to separate the grounds from the coffee and pour.
- Coffee to Water Ratio: A general guideline is 1-2 tablespoons of coffee grounds per 6 ounces of water, but this can be adjusted based on personal preference.
-
Cleaning:
- Disassembly: After use, disassemble the French press into its components: the lid, plunger, glass carafe, and metal parts.
- Washing: Wash the glass carafe and metal parts with warm, soapy water. The plunger assembly can be cleaned thoroughly to remove coffee residue. Ensure all parts are dried completely before reassembling.
- Avoid Abrasives: Use non-abrasive sponges to avoid scratching the glass.
-
Storage:
- Safe Storage: Store the French press in a dry place. Ensure it is completely dry before storing to prevent any moisture-related issues.
