Description

The stainless steel design of the COLUMBIA French Press pairs utility with timeless elegance. It is easy to use too - just add fresh coarse ground coffee, fill with hot water, stir, place the lid on and wait for approximately 4 minutes. After this time, press and enjoy. Most coffee roasters and tea buyers recommend using a coffee or tea press to enjoy the beverages at their best, but the devices have typically offered one major disadvantage--the brewed coffee or tea cooled quickly within the glass carafe. The Bodum Columbia thermal press overcomes this shortcoming with its double- walled stainless-steel construction, which insulates hot coffee or tea to keep it warm for up to two hours. The end result is a rich, flavorful beverage with perfectly extracted flavors and aromas. To use the Columbia press for coffee, grind fresh beans to a coarse consistency, add 2 tablespoons of coffee for every 6 ounces of water, then add hot water and brew for four to five minutes before plunging the press. Tea brews in the same manner, but with whole tea leaves instead. The press holds up to 48 ounces of liquid--enough for 12 small cups of coffee (4 ounces each)--and features Bodum's patented safety lid to keep the contents from spilling. For best results, users should dedicate the press to brewing one beverage only, as coffee and tea flavors tend to cross over when brewed separately in the same vessel. The Columbia coffee and tea press is dishwasher-safe. --Rivers Janssen

    • Great French press
Size: 34 oz
Bought this one because my husband broke the glass one he had previously. He really likes it, no grounds in the cup and it keeps coffee warm for a bit. He has been using it for a few months with no issues, would purchase again

    • Best French Press that we own!
Size: 51 oz
We love this French press!! It’s large enough for four generously sized size cups of coffee, and it actually keeps the coffee HOT! ☕️ We originally ordered this for camping trips, since all our other presses were glass, however this pot is now our daily go to, as the insulation keeps the coffee hot and removes the need for reheating! Love this pot! ... show more

I love this press. It makes a rich and flavorful cup of coffee - of course the beans are important - and it just rinses clean. It’s perfect!

    • Sleek, Modern and NO MORE BROKEN GLASS CARAFES!
Size: 34 oz
I've used a French press (Bodum) for at least 20 years. I've also broken more of their glass bodies than I WANT TO COUNT!!! Yet again another one had broken and while I was looking for another replacement I discovered this stainless steel model. Happiness reigns...and the coffee stays warm for longer than I expected. Works very well. Wish it was made in a larger capacity model. ... show more

    • makes great tasting coffee, but it's not a steel thermos with a French press inside of it
Size: 34 oz
I've long preferred the taste of French press coffee to that produced by drip machines. Although I've had a Bodum Chambord press at home for over a decade, two problems limited my use of the press: 1) If more than one mug of coffee is made, the coffee cools down very quickly through the glass walls of the Chambord; 2) I have broken three Chambord FRAMES (plastic) yet the glass beaker survived...pointing to a weakness in the plastic frame. Maybe expansion of the glass when filled with hot water--or in the dishwasher-- stretched the plastic. I bought the Chambord from Starbucks back when they made colored plastic frames. Bodum replaced the frame once. I now have a complete but unsafe Chambord (with cracked frame AGAIN) and a spare beaker from an earlier plastic Chambord, which was a gift (that makes three cracked plastic frames in all, and no broken beakers). Two years ago, I gave a steel Friesling press to friends who own a boat and whose owner is a daily coffee drinker. They were pleased with it. At the time, the thermal properties were less important than having it be unbreakable for marine use. My year old Bosch drip machine is flimsy, makes so-so coffee, and takes up a lot of space on the counter. Setting it up and cleaning it after use takes as much time as using a French press. Browsing through Amazon for a sturdier Chambord with a metal frame, I ran across the Columbia by Bodum. I don't know when it was introduced, but I don't remember it being an option when I bought the Friesling two years ago. I was attracted to the unbreakable steel design, the modest price ($40, not much more than a Chambord of similar size), and the potential to keep coffee warm, though earlier reviewers warned that it doesn't function like a true thermos. That said, it makes delicious coffee. I preheat the container with hot water, which helps retain heat. The Columbia will keep unused coffee drinkably hot for an hour, and warm for about two hours. The top is not insulated, it is only single wall plastic, so one should not think of this as an insulated double wall steel thermos with a French press inside. The plastic chrome top is subject to fingerprint smudging, far more so than the steel container itself. Because the top is of lower quality than the body of the press, I gave it only four stars. All parts are dishwasher safe. Like all French press devices, the coffee uses should be of a coarse grind. Using fine drip ground coffee will result in clogging of the filter, or the filter will not sequester all of the grounds below the coffee when you press the ground to the bottom. Buy a grinder, or use a grinder at the store to grind your whole beans, using the coarse setting. Many of the burr grinders for home use have a dial to adjust the coarseness. If you use a blade grinder, achieving a uniform coarse grind is more difficult and is somewhat of an art; these grinders are better for producing a fine drip grind. I use a an electric Bodum Ibis kettle which boils water in a few minutes. Preparation is the same as for any French press device: pour hot water over coarsely ground coffee, stir with non-metallic utensil, cover, wait five minutes, press grounds to bottom and pour out the coffee. If you want a French press device that can keep your coffee hot for hours, buy this product and pour the coffee into a double wall thermos as soon as the coffee is ready. Or, if you only need the coffee hot for an hour or two, use this device without a thermos. Pro's: beautiful, unbreakable design; makes delicious coffee; when filled to capacity, can make four big mugs or 5-6 small cups of coffee for a small crowd; all parts dishwasher safe; uses far less counter space than a drip machine. Con's: need to use thermos if you want coffee hot beyond 1-2 hours (but much better heat retention than a glass Bodum press); cheap-looking plastic cover whose chrome lid doesn't match the brushed steel and which is subject to fingerprints; you still need a big drip coffee maker or urn if you are serving a big crowd. With respect to the last "con", there are now two drip coffee makers sitting on racks in the garage, used only when there is a crowd. The rest of the time, a stylish steel press sits on the counter in the kitchen, occupying far less space than it's predecessor drip machine ever did. Since there are no plugs, the press can be moved around the kitchen if more counter room is needed for say a baking project. Much easier than unplugging a drip machine and moving it elsewhere without breaking the carafe. Bodum also makes a matching sugar-creamer set for those interested in a complete look. ... show more

    • Beats out my expensive Oxo machine
Size: 34 oz
I bought my Bodum over 7 years ago. During a move, after about 3 or 4 years of having it, I mislaid it and bought an Oxo machine which I loved.... until I found my Bodum! I found it recently and coffee made in this French press tastes much better than from the Oxo machine, at a fraction of the initial cost and without the need to purchase filters on an ongoing basis. I am from the UK originally and, when I left, coffee machines were a rarity and French-presses were the way to go. I suspect this is due to the taste being superior, there is no risk of mechanical failure and you don't have to faff around with descaling the machine and buying descaling solutions. The French press is downright effortless! Plus, reading the reviews on here, I found the heat-saving feature in the lid (you can turn the lid to close it, which makes the pot completely insulated), which I had been oblivious to when I used it in the past! Now, my coffee stays warm in the pot as well as tasting great. It also looks stylish and takes up less space than a coffee machine (my Oxo machine is pretty big). I read somewhere to let the water sit for only 4 minutes before plunging and maybe this is why it tastes so good this time around. I have been a coffee drinker for decades and I don't like Starbucks coffee (too bitter). The coffee made in this French press, using the 4-minute method, tastes superior to coffee I have had from any and all coffee machines. I find that I can use cheaper coffee, without sacrificing flavor, so it is a win-win all around. Another thing I have noticed is that I use half the amount of coffee to get 8 cups of strong coffee. I guess this makes sense since the coffee sits in the water for 4 solid minutes, rather than the water simply passing over and through it for the same period of time. I don't understand people who say the Bodum doesn't make superior tasting coffee - simplicity usually is better and it certainly is when it comes to this item. I am so glad I found it and would highly recommend it. ... show more
