How it compares

Compared to drip coffee makers, French presses make a stronger brew, but they require manual effort. It's a great alternative to instant coffee or capsule machines.

How to use it

  1. Boil water and preheat the carafe.
  2. Grind coffee beans coarsely.
  3. Add coffee grounds (1:16 ratio) to the carafe.
  4. Pour hot water slowly.
  5. Stir gently.
  6. Place the plunger and press gently after 4 minutes.

Verified buyer: I've had this for years and it still works great. The flavor is amazing. It's a little more work than any machine but so worth it.

Sustainability & ethics

Crafted with stainless steel for durability and long lifespan. B Corp certified, Bodum adheres to high standards for environmental and societal performance.

Pro tip

Use coarsely ground coffee for better extraction and easier plunging.
