Bodum Chambord French Press Coffee Makers
CHAMBORD is a true original – the classic French Press coffee maker designed in the 1950s to honor the iconic Château de Chambord in France. We still produce it with the same painstaking craftsmanship we used back then. Our Chambord is proudly made in Europe, just as it has always been. Please Note: With the exception of the Chrome and Matte Chrome colors; only the glass, plunger and filter are dishwasher safe. The frame and lid should be hand washed with a non-abrasive sponge.
How to brew French Press Coffee the Bodum Way.
French Press - Step 1:
For each 8-ounces of coffee, you want to brew; put 2 rounded tablespoons or 2 Bodum scoops of coarse-ground coffee into the carafe.
French Press - Step 2:
After the water has boiled; wait for 10-15 seconds before pouring into the carafe. Leave a minimum of 1 inch of space at the top. Stir with a plastic or wood spoon.
French Press - Step 3:
Place the plunger unit on top of the pot. Turn lid to close off the pour spout opening. Do not press down. Let the coffee brew for 4 minutes.
French Press - Step 4:
After the 4-minute brew has completed, gently press down the plunger and you are now ready to enjoy a delicious cup of French Press coffee.
Bodum Quality in every Component:
Borosilicate Glass or Recyclable Shatterproof Beaker
The Chambord line is available in both borosilicate glass and recyclable shatterproof carafes The borosilicate glass is ultra-light and strong, has great heat- resistant properties. The Recyclable SAN Beaker is Shatterproof and provides a the same clean cup of French Press Coffee you expect that is even greener! Both carafes are dishwasher safe and will not get cloudy in the dishwasher.
Stainless Steel Spiral Plate
The Stainless Steel spiral plate keeps the filter mesh in place and makes sure that water goes through but no ground coffee. The flexible spiral provides a universal fit taking into account the manufacturing tolerances of glass jugs.
Stainless Steel Filter Plate
The Stainless Steel Filter Plate is a key component to the Bodum coffee makers. It separates the ground coffee beans from the water after the brewing has stopped.
Care Instructions
With the exception of items with Chrome or Matte Chrome finish; Only the Beaker, Filter and Plunger are dishwasher safe. Use a non-abrasive sponge to clean the frame and lid.

Product Description
Chambord is a true original – the classic French press Coffee maker designed in the fifties. And we still produce it with the same painstaking craftsmanship we used way back when with the original. The frame and lid, made of steel, undergo several Chrome Plating processes to obtain a durable shiny surface that will last for many years of intense use. The only difference in the production process since the fifties is our commitment to the highest standards of environmentally correct manufacturing, which is especially important during the Chrome Plating process. The black CHAMBORD polypropylene handle comes in a matte finish that not only gives a comfortable grip while serving but adds to the classic quality of the design. The French press system has always been the simplest and ultimate way of brewing an excellent cup of Coffee. Using fresh coarse ground beans with water between 92 and 96 degrees Celsius brings out the very best in all types of Coffee.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2016Color: PolishedSize: 34 ozVerified PurchaseFor those who enjoy a daily cup of amazing coffee the Bodum Chambord French Press is for you. My first experience with a Bodum Chambord French Press stems from my parents. They used if primarily for the “special cup of coffee,” the weekend demands and the Bodum French Press has continued to represent that ideal. I use my Bodum (34 oz.) nearly every day to make the perfect cup of joe. What really stands out in this product is its simplicity, longevity, and how it literally improves the taste of nearly any coffee.
Simplicity of Design and Use
The Bodum design is simple, smart, and easy to clean. The entire thing consists of only three pieces; the glass carafe, lid with the filter, and the steel frame. Its simplistic design combined with an overall aesthetic appeal that allows you to leave this French press on the countertop without looking out of place or ugly. Did I mention its dishwasher friendly?
When you go to use your Bodum you’ll find that its incredibly easy to use, in fact the instructions only come with 4 steps. Step 1, put coffee in your Bodum. Step 2, boil water. Step 3, pour the boiling water in the Bodum and let sit for a few minutes eventually pushing the filter down. Step 4, pour yourself a cup of coffee! They make it as easy as possible to enjoy a superior cup of coffee (more on that in a minute).
Longevity
Unlike comparable French presses, Bodum uses high quality glass, steel and hard plastics for their product. This means that you’ll be enjoying your press for years to come long after others would have broken. I’ve owned 1 other brand of French press before. The reason I made the switch was due to the handle breaking on my old one, a problem I don’t anticipate happening with my Bodum. As I stated before, my parents also have a Bodum (51 oz.) which they’ve had it for nearly 15 years! Not many other products can claim that type of longevity.
Do You Even Like Coffee?!
Those who know coffee, know that a French press easily makes the purest cup of coffee out there. Regardless of the brand of press, overall taste is so dramatically improved over the standard coffee maker that once tried other ways probably just won’t cut it anymore. The combination of pouring boiling water directly onto the coffee induces some sort of chemical reaction that brings the absolute best flavor out of that bean. Even Folgers, the most average cup of blah there is, can taste as if its fresh out of the jungles of Columbia when using a French press.
Negatives
Honestly, practically none exist. Strong, quality materials ensure it won’t break, it looks good on the countertop, and makes the worst coffee out there taste a million times better. The one and only thing that comes to mind is price. In your big box stores, the Bodum demands top price for its top quality costing up to 60 dollars for a 34 oz. press. However, the advent of online shopping has cut that price nearly in half.
The affordable, highest quality Bodum Chambord French Press is the perfect tool for the daily coffee drinker. Whether you’re buying it as a gift or for yourself, I’m confident that this press will improve your coffee experience. Happy pouring!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2011I'd heard that a french press makes the best tasting coffee but put off buying one for years. To be honest if I had some peer pressure to influence me I'd probably not have resisted for so long. I only know one person who uses a coffee press and they swear by it.
The reason I finally bought this was that my last two drip coffeemakers broke in month thirteen, right after the warranty ended. Small plastic parts broke and I took the plunge to try this french press which is mostly glass and metal, figuring the simpler construction might ensure it would last longer (and it's less expensive too).
One thing I like about the Chambord is the glass beaker is a separate piece. This is unlike Bodum's Brazil model which has the plastic fused onto the glass. I know replacement glass pieces are sold separately in case mine breaks.
I liked the look of the Chambord which is sleek and has a shiny silver metal and black plastic for the holder and cap. I looked at the Bodum Chambord side by side with other coffee presses (like the Bodum Brazil) in a store and could see that this one looks more sophisticated and classy.
I also like the 32 ounce capacity of the Chambord.
Easy to Use
The coffee press is so easy to use. I boil the water then wait two minutes, as the manufacturer says not to use boiling water. I put the coffee grounds in it then fill it with 32 ounces of water. I stir it with a wooden chopstick then place the lid on and wait four minutes. Then it is pressed very gently and slowly. The coffee is ready to serve.
My one complaint about the glass container is there are no marked lines for various measurements. If you want to make coffee in a certain number of ounces, such as to make an 8 ounce cup, you will have to heat the water and measure it in a heat-safe measuring cup then pour it in.
I note the manufacturer has legal warnings in two languages which fill over two inches of space on it so it is clear that Bodum wasn't leaving markings off to have a clean design look.
Since this uses no electricity and is small I am taking it with me when camping. I am thrilled to be able to have great tasting coffee while camping or staying in cabins without electricity but with access to open fire or portable camping stoves which can be used to boil the water.
Best Tasting Coffee
I have two favorite coffees which I've been drinking for over two years using a drip coffeemaker. I was shocked at the superior aste of the coffee made with the same pre-ground beans from this coffee press. There was no bitterness! I'd thought the bitterness was supposed to be there and had accepted it. (This idea is now funny to me. I also note when reading reviews of my former coffeemaker - made by Mr. Coffee - some customers said it produced a bitter brew. I now know that to be true. )
I have never tasted home-brewed coffee that tasted this good.
32 Ounces
Bodum says this makes 8 cups of coffee. In America 6 ounces is the standard so that's a bit confusing to this American coffee drinker. However many people now drink 8, 12, 16 or more ounces in one "cup" of coffee. What you need to know is the Bodum Chambord makes 32 ounces of coffee.
Cleaning
I find this easy to clean and have no complaints. With anything you use there is usualy some cleaning, even a drip coffeemaker has parts to clean.
Making Coffee in Volume
My Mr. Coffee drip coffee maker took nearly 15 minutes to make a 12 cup pot so I have no complaints on the time it takes to make coffee in a coffee press. To me flavor is more important anyway; I'd rather have a coffeemaker for daily use that produces superior coffee every day and have a bit of inconvenience when company is here. If I have to, when company is visiting, I will use an insulated coffee pot if I need more than 32 ounces of one kind of coffee. It will actually work out fine as some of my family usually wants decaf while others want caffinated coffee, so I've always had to brew two pots and use an insulated carafe when I brewed with a drip coffeemaker anyway.
The Cost
This cost me less than half what a drip coffeemaker costs and much less than those one-cup coffee makers. I'm happy with the low cost. As I said earlier if the glass beaker breaks I can buy a replacement for a low price.
In Conclusion
This makes fantastic tasting coffee. It may be a different process than you have done before but it is easy. This is an inexpensive item with a simple process with little room for mechanical failure. Don't hesitate like I did!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2023Color: ChromeSize: 12 ozVerified PurchaseI had never used a French press until recently traveling in the Netherlands where they had one in our apartment. I always heard people rave about the coffee and the easy process. I loved it! They had a larger, heavier version made by Bodum. It made delicious coffee but my second cup was never really hot enough. We drink four cups in the morning so it makes sense to brew a pot, but in the afternoon I like one cup. Instead of saving a cup from the morning and microwaving it (I know, I know, that's a sin!), I decided to get this smallest version of the Bodum French press. It works just like the larger version and makes delicious coffee. Note that they refer to a "cup" of coffee as 4 oz, where I drink a "mug" of 8 oz. It will brew a full measuring cup, which is 8 oz. You get a little less after you press it. Advantages are that your one cup is always hot, clean up is easy, and my husband who drinks decaf can brew a cup whenever he likes. I did find the glass to be a bit thinner than the larger version, and even though I used boiling water, my coffee was not extremely hot. The box was a bit messed up as if it was used, and it had an Amazon sticker saying this product "got a second life". I thought I was buying a new product. But inside, the French press was in perfect condition, had the correct Bodum logo on the glass, and it came with its own measuring scoop, which is super convenient to make the best coffee without guessing. This would be great for travel too. I'm glad I got it.

I did find the glass to be a bit thinner than the larger version, and even though I used boiling water, my coffee was not extremely hot. The box was a bit messed up as if it was used, and it had an Amazon sticker saying this product "got a second life". I thought I was buying a new product. But inside, the French press was in perfect condition, had the correct Bodum logo on the glass, and it came with its own measuring scoop, which is super convenient to make the best coffee without guessing. This would be great for travel too. I'm glad I got it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bodum es calidad
Color: ChromeSize: 17 ozVerified PurchaseBodum siempre mantiene calidad y diseño. Esta cafetera es un clásico y el tamaño es perfecto para dos personas o tres tazas más pequeñas. Prefiero las tapas de plástico ya que estas tienes que pulirlas con un paño para que no queden manchas, pero no interfiere con la calidad del producto.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for ONE cup of fresh ground coffee.
Color: ChromeSize: 12 ozVerified PurchaseI love this Bodum and I use it multiple times a day for my perfect cup of coffee. Naturally, I had to find that balance by grinding just the right amount of beans. My only concern is that potential buyers might think that this bodum makes 3 cups (3 x 8oz)?. It does if you are making an expresso but the carafe holds 12oz of hot water which is just the amount, in my humble Canadian opinion, that is required for a first cup of coffee.
