I’ve written in the past how much I enjoy coffee, most especially French Press coffee. Unfortunately, my french press broke, so I’ve been using my trusty old Krups AromaMaster. It makes a decent cup of coffee, but it’s just not as good as a French Press.
So this morning, I made my way to Starbucks and ordered up a French Press to go. It yielded enough coffee to fill a Venti (their large) and a tall (their small) cups and I’m enjoying every single sip. Then the thought ocurred to me that I should probably purchase a new press. So I headed over to Amazon.com to do a little “research” and I came across the Bodum Columbia 8-Cup Stainless-Steel Thermal Press Pot .
It looks like great press, and all the reviews seem very positive, heck there’s even a video of the product, but I thought I’d ask those of you reading this blog to see what you think. So if you have any thoughts, or recommendations regarding french press pots, I’d love to hear it.
If you are on a budget, I’ve noticed Bodum now offers their traditional french presses with acrylic carafes rather than glass — so they can never break.
Maybe you can buy just the acrylic carafe from Bodum direct?
That metal one looks nice, but I pesonally love the clear carafes myself. 🙂
Here is the replacement Polycarbonate carafe for the Bodum french presses:

Hpe that helps someone out there. 🙂
I have the Starbucks thermal… pretty happy with it.
