Replacement glass carafe for the Chambord French Press. The CHAMBORD is a true original – the classic French press coffee maker designed in the fifties. And it is still produced with the same painstaking craftsmanship used way back when with the original. The frame and lid, made of steel, undergo several chrome plating processes to obtain a durable shiny surface that will last for many years of intense use. The only difference in the production process since the fifties is a commitment to the highest standards of environmentally correct manufacturing, which is especially important during the chrome plating process. The black CHAMBORD Polypropylene handle comes in a matte finish that not only gives a comfortable grip while serving but adds to the classic quality of the design. The French press system has always been the simplest and ultimate way of brewing an excellent cup of coffee. Using fresh coarse ground beans with water between 197 and 205 degrees F(92 and 96 degrees C) brings out the very best in all types of coffee. Making delicious coffee in Bodum's French press is very easy. Simply measure out one rounded tablespoon of coarsely ground coffee per 4-ounce cup, pour in the hot water, wait a few minutes for it to brew, and slowly press down the plunger. Finally, enjoy your cup of rich and aromatic coffee.
