Coffee Press Reviews and ratings from real consumers.
Without a doubt, the best tasting homemade coffee comes from using a French press. If you haven’t tried coffee this way before, you’ll find that it brews a richer, bolder coffee without the bitterness of home brewed drip coffee. And, the flavor is even better than what you’ll get at those expensive coffee chains.
The Bodum Chambord coffee press is a great choice and a popular brand in Europe. Best of all, it’s very affordable. Depending on the size, you can purchase one for somewhere between and . The best coffee press reviews you can find on this website.
It’s so nice getting up in the morning and drinking a hot cup of coffee that tastes as delicious as what you’ll get from this French gadget. I am a big fan of coffee and have been for many years. Prior to getting my press, I was drinking a flavored instant coffee, simply because I had grown tired of using my drip coffee machine and the flavor didn’t cut it for me.
This is not the case with the Bodum coffee press however.
What other benefits might you realize from owning and using a French press for coffee making?
It’s very easy to use. All you need to do is put 1 tbsp. of coarsely ground (very important) coffee into the pot for every 4 oz of water, then fill the pot with very hot (but not boiling) water. Next, place the plunger on the top of the pot and close the lid. Let it sit for 4 minutes and then slowly push down on the plunger.
It takes up much less space that a drip coffee machine.
This press makes a great birthday or holiday gift. Chances are that most of your coffee drinking family and friends already own a drip coffee maker so that this is something that’s a little different.
What’s the downside?
Although there is some extra effort required if you are going to begin using a French press to make your coffee, it’s totally worth it.
And, the extra effort is minimal.
Do be careful when it’s time to plunge the coffee. Please make sure that you have the spout turned away from you. Otherwise, if you plunge too eagerly, you may end up spewing hot coffee all over yourself.
Cleaning the plunger can be a bit of a hassle but as long as you empty the pot and plunger over the garbage can, you’ll avoid getting the coffee grounds all over the place. Do make sure that you clean the parts thoroughly after each use to avoid a build up of residue that can affect the flavor of your coffee.

I have been a coffee addict for almost 20 years. I first began drinking coffee in college in order to stay awake for the late night study sessions. I think if it weren’t for coffee I would’ve definitely failed many of my classes. Back then I chose whatever coffee was cheapest; Folgers, Maxwell House or anything of the multitude of cheap off brands. I definitely did not have a refined palate. Anything that would give me that boost of caffeine would work just fine. But, now after 20 years of work and the trials and tribulations of life I have come to the realization that life is short. Why waste my time drinking crap coffee.
In my professional career I have worked for five companies. And, each of those companies offered some sort of free coffee in the kitchen. You have the small mom and pop operation who would pickup whatever was on sale at the grocery store that day to the large national company with a food contract with a local distributor.
The quality of the free coffee in all cases has always been in question; that and what I always found is whoever was unlucky enough to drink the last of a pot got to brew the next pot.
Now, you and I both know that people’s taste in coffee varies greatly. Some people like weak coffee, some people like coffee that will grow hair on your chest. Either way I could never count on having a consistently tasty cup of coffee. That is until I found the French Press. Now, every morning I get to my cube, pour in a measured amount of coffee grounds, carry the press to the hot water dispenser to fill it, bring it back to my desk and wait. After only 5 minutes I insert the plunger and press down. Viola, fresh brewed coffee with a consistent fantastic taste that cannot be beat.
There are three pieces that make up a great coffee experience: the aroma of the dry grounds, the heavenly smell of the brewing pot and the mind blowing tremendous taste of the final product. The French pressed coffee bean cannot be beat in either experience or taste. And, over the past two years I have experimented on different types of grind and bean to use.
Now you can benefit from my trials and get the best taste immediately. There are two to three different types of coffee that will make the whole process exquisite. If you are a dark roast lover you will want to try the New York Dark Roast grind from Coffee or Less. And, right now they have a promotion going on for Free Shipping On Orders Over . If you aren’t a dark roast type of person; I would recommend Timothy’s Kona Blend or the Parisian Blend. You can’t go wrong with either. Another great option to grind up for your French press would be the Sumatran Sunset Coffee.
Practical and stylish, this double walled stainless steel thermal carafe houses a traditional French Press. Make your coffee and keep it warm in the same pot. Thermal carafe keeps coffee warm 3 times longer than a regular French Press. 8 cup capacity.

Question by epic_laydown: Do French press coffee makers require different coffee grounds?
I’m thinking of getting my dad a french press, but am afraid he’ll have to get all new coffee grounds since I read they require coarser grinds. Is that true? He has so many other coffee already ground up for his drip coffee maker. Thanks.
Best answer:
Answer by Mr.Jim Lahey It’s pointless to use a french press if you are grinding ahead of time. You won’t even taste much of a difference. You should have the beans in whole form, and grind what u need just before brewing.
AND YES, the grinds should be bigger as it clogs the filter and just makes a mess.

Question by mrsdragonfly: How do you make the best cup of coffee with your french press????
We have a French Press Coffee Maker (it’s small for just 2 cups), my husband got it as a present over ten years ago. I LOVE IT!
However, lately, my coffee just doesn’t seem to be as good as it use to. I buy organice coffee that I grind myself. I’m just looking for a better technique for a better coffee??
How do you store your coffee for the best flavor and freshness???
Do you grind your own or is it pre-ground???
Some people have told me not to boil my water, because it scalds the beans??? Is this true?
How many beans is too much? (I normally spoon it 4 large spoons)
How long do you let your coffee before you press it??
I don’t know if I forgot something or if it just the way I am making it these days, but my coffee seems too strong and lacking in flavor(which I thought I would never admit). Plus I can’t find that ideal taste anymore. Sometimes I feel like it a sludge almost.
I’ve tried less coffee but it’s like water.
Any suggestions???
Thanks!
I grind my beans on a weekly basis at the begining of the week, & store them in a sir tight ceramic containter in the fridge.
Some people say to use the freezer, but I have been told that takes out the oils in the beans.
I’m lost and needing guidence …!
That was subpose to be “air tight” container … sorry.
I rinse the coffee press daily and clean it on the weekends.
I will try the vinegar idea with my kettle, that is a good thought.
I use good water for my coffee, so I am content with that.
Best answer:
Answer by Heinz M I keep the coffee in the freezer and only grind it just before using it.
I use a Mr. Coffee espresso machine ($ 29.95) and that is the best coffee ever.
Also, I buy my coffee from coffeebean.com (about $ 5.00/lb in 5lb quantities.)
Come by and I’ll fix you a cup!
