French Press by Bodum 

The Columbia Thermal French Press line incorporates functional design with elegance. The double-walled polished chrome Thermo press units are one piece seamless stainless steel, which make them very easy to use and clean. Heavy gauged steel, vacuum insulated interior - not foam insulated like other units on the market. These are truely beautiful units!

These are genuine Bodum Coffee Press Glass Inserts. Original Bodum press plunger beaker inserts made from Borosilicate glass, similarly to pyrex type glasses. Its the same type of glass used in many optical and chemical applications. Its high thermal and shock resistance along with its low rate of thermal expansion makes it an excellent choice for coffee press beaker applications. The glass remains absolutely neutral, even to aggressive chemicals. Withstands harsh dishwasher cycles much better than other glass materials, without getting scratched. Extremely resistant to water, alkalis, acids, and salt solutions.

Bodum has discontinued their line of Melior Coffee Presses in 2007, although we do still stock all available Melior replacement beakers and screens. The Melior was the original classic French press coffee maker designed in the 50s, and is still produced with the same handcrafted quality as the original. Melior presses are built a bit more rugged than the other models of french press to withstand a cafe atmosphere. These units include a 1 year manufacturers warranty, and a 25 year manufacturers warranty on the frame.

The Chambord is the predecessor to the original Melior French press coffee maker. The metal frame is made with a bit lighter gauge of steel than that of the Melior, the screw in plunger handle has a slight difference in its configuration, and the handle is constructed from a hard bakelite resin compound, rather than the Meliors Santoprene handle, but the same fine functionality, at a much more economical price! Using a fresh coarse-ground coffee and 94°C, 201 F water is still the simplest way to bring out the very best from all types of coffee.

The Eileen is equipped with a square, no slip santoprene coated handle for sure gripping, and the solid stainless steel body protects the glass from being bumped and knocked in a busy environment. Elegant design, and practicality all in one!!
