Bodum Coffee Pot

Donna Pilato

What it Does:

It brews a flavorful pot of coffee. All you need to do is boil water in your tea kettle, put ground coffee into your press, pour the water over and push the plunger when coffee is steeped to your taste.

Problem it Solves:

No outlets, wires, or buttons are required to brew a great pot of coffee.

Why I Love It:

I love the simplicity of my French coffee press. Over the years we have tried many other types of coffee brewing devices, but we always return to our French press for the simplicity, easy clean-up, and great coffee. It also looks good when brought to the table for serving.

Best Kitchen Uses:

Making a great pot of coffee. We keep two sizes - a small, 2-3 cup pot for everyday use and a large 8 cup model for entertaining. Compare Prices
