Bodum Brazil French Press Coffee Maker
Designed in the early 80's. Attractive and functional design at an affordable price.
The French press coffee maker is the simplest of all brewing systems, where coarsely ground beans meet hot water right off the boil. The right temperature (92–96 °C, 195–205 °F) brings the optimal extraction power for the essential oils in the beans to develop their full flavor profile in just four minutes. An easy press on the plunger locks the grinds at the bottom of the glass carafe and stops the brewing process.
- Body, handle, & lid made of BPA free plastic
- Beaker is made of heat resistant borosilicate glass
- Filter & plunger is made of stainless steel
- Brews & makes delicious coffee
- No Paper Filters. No Capsules. No Waste.

|
---|---|---|---|
Step 1For each 4-ounce cup, put 1 rounded tablespoon or 1 Bodum scoop of coarse-ground coffee into the pot. |

Borosilicate Glass beakerThe beaker is made of High-Quality Borosilicate glass is ultra-light and strong, has great heat- resistant properties, and will not get cloudy in the dishwasher. |
Stainless Steel Spiral plateThe 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 MeshThe Stainless Steel filter mesh is a key component to the Bodum coffee makers. It separates the ground coffee beans from the water after the brewing has stopped. |
Stainless Steel Cross plateThe Stainless Steel cross plate holds the mesh in place together with the spiral plate. |

Product Description
The Brazil French Press coffeemaker, designed in the early 80's, was our first coffeemaker and quickly became a symbol of what Bodum stands for. Attractive and functional design at an affordable price. The Brazil has a durable, heat-resistant borosilicate glass beaker and a plastic handle and base, which make the Brazil easy to use and easy to clean. The 3-part stainless steel plunger has a fine mesh filter, which allows for a premium extraction of your coffee's aromatic oils and subtle flavors. A mesh filter allows this flavor to be delivered direct to your cup and not absorbed by a paper filter. Plus, no paper filter means no waste. The patented safety lid prevents the splashing of liquids while pressing. All parts are dishwasher-safe.Pour hot water into the carafe (about 92-96ºC) leaving a minimum of 2.5cm/1inch at the top, and stir with a plastic or wooden spoon.Vinyl-coated handel for stronger and comfertable grip

Another great thing about a french press which receives little acknowledgement: you can make exactly the amount of coffee you need, without its quality suffering. Think about this for a minute: What if you wanted to make 10oz of coffee in a drip? You put in 10 oz of water, two scoops of coffee, Turn it on, the water heats and drips through the grounds for 2 minutes. How much flavor is going to be in there? Make 50 oz, the coffee grounds get brewed for 10 minutes. How is that going to taste? Not good, I assure you. With the press, the coffee brews for exactly the right amount of time, every time regardless of the amount of water or grounds.
This is my fourth Brazil model french press. I really hope they never stop making these, because I will be buying them as long as they are available. Here is what sets this press apart from the crowd, but first:
***WARNING! if you plan to microwave your water in this, it is ABSOLUTELY necessary to put something in with the water in order to create some nucleation sites where the water can boil. I use a chopstick which I've cut to the height of the beaker. You risk serious burns if you do not do this, as the water may become superheated above boiling, and then violently boil over when disturbed.***
1. Microwavable:
There are no metal parts on the beaker/handle assembly. This makes using the press so convenient and simple. a.) fill beaker with water b.) heat water filled beaker in microwave c.) grind beans while water heats d.) put grounds into press & cover e.) wait four minutes f.) press down plunger g.) pour & enjoy. I submit to you that using this french press is no more complex or time consuming than any other coffee brewing method (save for the Kuerig, but don't get me started.)
2. Price: I only saw a couple other presses which were cheaper, and their low review scores steered me away. People seem to indicate that the others have a plastic beaker and/or low quality parts. In my opinion, it's not worth saving $5 if there's a fair chance of receiving an inferior product.
3. Easy to clean: Rinse out the beaker with hot water, spend a few seconds scrubbing off the screen/plunger assemble with a soft plastic bottle brush, and voila, you're finished. Once a week, I run everything through the dishwasher. The screen/press/plunger assembly unscrews with no tools needed for when you would like to dishwash, or more thoroughly clean it.
4. Durable: The glass is made of borosilicate glass, which seems to be some sort of Pyrex. More than once, I have stupidly rinsed it off in cold water immediately after use. This would shatter most kinds of glass. No problem here. The reason I'm on my fourth one is because I've broken two by dropping them. Once in a stainless steel sink, another time I tipped one on my granite counter-top. By its nature, the screen must be delicate, but I've never had one wear out. As I said above, use a soft bristle bottle brush to clean it, and you should have no problems. I saved the two plunger assemblies from my broken sets as backups because they remained in great shape, even after a couple of years of use.
5. Portable: This press is exactly how big it needs to be, and no larger. Do you really want an big drip maker sitting out on your counter taking up valuable counter space? Or even worse, a behemoth of a Kuerig which can only make one cup at a time? With this Bodum, just stash it in the cupboard when not in use. Try that with a machine for a few weeks and see how you like it.
If you decide to buy one, I'll offer up these few tips:
1. Instructions say to stir before pushing down. Instead, after you put the grounds in the water, press down on the plunger, but only enough to fully submerge the grounds. Move the plunger up and down a hair. This will cause all the grounds to mix around, and avoid the pitfall of using a utensil in the press, which the instructions say may scratch the glass and potentially make it easier to break.
2. Perfect brewing temperature is 195 - 205. First, read my ***WARNING*** above. To reach that temperature, bring the water to a full boil in the microwave (put a chopstick or something in there to avoid super-heating the water.) remove the press from the microwave, and allow it to rest for 30-45 seconds on the counter. After this time, the water should not be too hot, and you can add the grounds.
3. Look up the "Alton Brown True Brew" recipe. There are some fantastic tips about beans and brewing perfectly suited for beginners.
4. I'm okay with it, but If the ultra-fine particles that make if through the screen bother you, they can be mostly eliminated. Instead of pouring straight into your drinking mug, pour the coffee into a different cup first. Something with some texture, like ceramic or paper works best. While the coffee is cooling down to a drinkable temperature, most of the fine particles will sink to the bottom. Pour your cup off into your drinking mug slowly and carefully. Stop when you see you're on that last 1/4 ounce or so and the particles are clearly visible.
In conclusion, I'd say that purchasing one of these is a great investment. I've saved hundreds of dollars by forgoing my morning coffee shop stop. Also, I never have to suffer through a fetid cup of drip machine coffee at home/work again. Check my review history and you'll see that this is far and away the longest I've ever written. It speaks to how much I believe in the product. (and I want people to buy them so it's never discontinued)
This french press nails it though. It won't last forever like the Bialetti, but you fresh grind three scoops (I use four I like it a little heavier.) and then fill with just under boiling water, 1 cup for 1 scoop. I go 4 scoops/3cups. If you aren't afraid to eyeball it a little bit, you can just fill the water up to the white logo box imprinted on the glass, which turns out to be right around the right amount of water. Put the lid back on, wait four minutes-ish, I'm not super strict about it because I'm often in a hurry at home, and then press the rod down slowly. Now all your grounds are stuck on the bottom under the metal filter attached to the rod, and atop the filter is only liquid. Delicious, brown molasses caffeine-laden nectar of the gods. Pour, enjoy.
The small size version of this is TOO SMALL to fill a normal sized coffee cup, just a fair warning. I suppose its handy for travel. I now own a small and the 34-ounce and can't imagine a useful situation for the small version. If you drink a full cup, or more than a cup, buy the 34-ounce. You won't regret it.
The difference between this brew method and the chemex is the lack of a paper filter. Paper filtration removes some of the oils from the coffee before you drink it, which can shave some of the high or low notes off the flavor of the drink. Still, it is healthy to use a paper filter because it removes cafestol, an ingredient in coffee that for those sensitive to it can impact the way your body handles cholesterol and the way you liver handles it as well. So paper filtration is good, but can alter flavor slightly. The Chemex is fantastic and due to it's design vents gasses out of the brew as you pour in water, so a bitter cup never really happens. Here, the french press simply uses a metal filter mesh and a metal plate with holes in it to push the grinds down to the bottom, leaving the coffee on top. You get a sweeter, bolder, more syrupy/velvety coffee out of a french press, because you retain the oils from the beans.
Clean up is a breeze with the bodum, it's dishwasher safe and you simply turn the plunger rod to unscrew the mesh disc from the handle to clean each layer of it. It honestly couldn't be easier, I hope it doesn't change.
The one pain I'll mention... disposing of the grounds is kind of a hassle as you are left with watery liquid at the bottom and a much of old grinds like you would find in a filter, only now, no filter. If you don't want to dump grinds down the drain, and you shouldn't as it's going to build up in your system, then you have to sort of shake and tap to get them out. My garbage can is not my favorite place to hover and hold my breathe while tapping grinds out, and they can really cling in there. So I would love to see the addition of a simple tool built specifically for this, a small stir/lever that can be used and ships with the product. I only suggest this as it is not recommended to use metal tools to clean the inside or stir inside as it can chip the glass, only plastic is recommend. Given that Bodum makes this piece, they could easily have the tool fabricated and shipped with the unit.
Def a keeper.
