Bodum 1928-16US4 Chambord French Press Coffee Maker
I remember seeing a French Press Coffee Maker in Packed To The Rafters. I kept thinking how cool that was . . . Plus I was wondering how it worked with the plunger and all . . . And the clean up — In the series I don’t recall seeing them clean the French Press — they just made the coffee . . . However, I do like the idea I don’t need coffee filters. Clear coffee cups are attractive. This may be a welcome change from coffee mugs.
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.
Although I’ve given you detailed brewing instructions above, I believe seeing a video is a better way of thoroughly understanding the French Press Coffee making/brewing process.
This Seems Like Getting Back To Basics
I remember when I was a kid, my uncle was telling my parents about French Press Coffee. He even gave them a demonstration with this new coffee maker that you didn’t plug in . . . That was amazing. My parents loved their morning coffee and with the great build-up from my uncle, they were eager to try it. Well . . . I suppose I should stop my story right there, but what would be the fun of that — Once my uncle left, the French Press Coffee Maker was set in the cupboard and they brought out their tried and true electric coffee percolator.
