Product Description

1. Place pot on a dry, flat, nonslip surface. Hold handle firmly, then pull the plunger straight up and out of the pot.

2. For each 1.25-deciliter/4-ounce cup, put 1 rounded tablespoon or 1 Bodum scoop of coarse-ground coffee into the pot.


Caution: Use only coarse-ground coffee. Fine grind can clog the filter and create high pressure. Place coffee maker on a heatproof, nonslip surface.

3. Pour hot (not boiling) water into the pot. Leave a minimum of 2.5 centimeters/1 inch of space at the top. Stir the brew with a plastic spoon.

Caution: Metal spoons can scratch or chip the glass beaker and cause breakage.

4. Place the plunger unit on top of the pot. Turn lid to close off the pour spout opening. (Does not apply to the Brazil models.) Do not press down. Let the coffee brew for at least 4 minutes.

5. Hold the pot handle firmly, with the spout turned away from you, then using just the weight of your hand, apply slight pressure on top of the knob to lower the plunger straight down into the pot. Lowering the plunger slowly with minimal pressure produces best results. If the filter clogs or it becomes difficult to push down the plunger you should remove the plunger from the pot, stir the brew, and then slowly plunge again.

WARNING: Using excessive force can cause scalding liquid to shoot out of the pot.

6. Turn the lid to open the pour spout and then pour coffee.

7. Unscrew the filter assembly and clean the plunger unit after each use. All parts are dishwasher-safe.

Scald Hazard

Company History

In 1944 Peter Bodum, the father of today's owner, Joergen Bodum, started Bodum in Copenhagen. Times were difficult at the end of World War II; there was hardly any trade and people were out of work. Peter Bodum managed to wholesale a very small variety of housewares products by Danish manufacturers.

After the war Peter Bodum got an import license for kitchen and tabletop products; he traveled all over Europe and ended up importing kitchen and housewares to Denmark. As in the rest of Europe in those days, a lack of products in Denmark meant a market existed for almost anything to be sold. He specialized in glassware from Eastern Europe.

In the '50s Peter Bodum started developing his own products. He collaborated with the Danish architect Kaas Klaeson for a range of coffeemakers. At the time, industrial-design-type kitchen products were very rare. The first Bodum product to hit the market in 1958 was the Santos coffeemaker--based on a vacuum coffee brewing system. It became an instant sensation not only in Denmark but in all of Europe. Bodum still produces the original Santos design to this very day.

Bodum grew steadily during the '60s, but sadly, in 1967, at the age of only 57, Peter Bodum passed away. His wife managed the company until 1974, when she offered her 26-year-old son Joergen to join her in the management of the company. Joergen quickly brought on board Carsten Joergensen--then a teacher at the Danish School of Art in Copenhagen--and soon put him in charge of overall design for Bodum, including everything from products to corporate design, exhibitions, shops, buildings, catalogs, and advertising. It turned out to be a very long and fruitful collaboration. The two men began to fulfill Bodum's credo--"good design doesn't have to be expensive"--in lots of different ways.

In 1974 the first fruit of Joergen and Carsten's collaboration was introduced: the French coffee press Bistro. It was also the first incorporation of the new Bodum design language--beautiful simplicity and excellent materials for everyday life. Many more variations of coffee presses followed. Since 1974 Bodum has produced over 50 million French presses, taken the leap from "coffee" to "kitchen," and developed and produced a large variety of beautiful household and tabletop designs.

In 1979, when he took over the company, Joergen Bodum decided to move to Switzerland in order to be more centrally located in Europe. He chose the Lucerne area, where Bodum's head office has been located since the early '80s.

In 1980 Bodum Switzerland and its design unit, Pi-Design, were founded. Then, in 1986, the opening of Bodum's first shop in London marked another milestone in the Bodum history. It was designed not only to be the perfect showcase for the large variety of Bodum products but to embody an even stronger presentation of Bodum as an international brand. Many more shops in many more cities all over the world followed: Paris, Copenhagen, Zurich, Lucerne, Tokyo, New York, Dallas, Okinawa, Auckland, and many more. To this day there are 52 Bodum stores worldwide.

With more and more of its own stores in place, Bodum continued broadening its collection of beautifully designed everyday life products--from kitchen to home. Today Bodum offers its customers everything from the latest coffee- and tea-making products to tabletop, kitchen, storage, textiles, bathroom, and home office products. Some stores also have a café where Bodum's own selection of coffees and teas are served.

The Bodum Group is, and always has been, a 100 percent family-owned business. Today the company operates in 14 different countries with over 700 employees worldwide. Bodum has holding companies in Denmark and Switzerland as well as 12 sales companies, 3 production companies, and a design company called Bodum Design Group, located in Switzerland.

A smart way to get the freshest possible coffee on the go, this brew-and-drink portable press from Bodum is great for commuters, students, and campers. Modeled on Bodum's popular glass presses, the piece features a durable plastic tumbler and a three-part plunge filter that presses grounds to the bottom of the cup when brewing is complete. Its makes coffee in just four minutes, and its design includes insulated double walls and a spill-resistant lid. Also great for loose-leaf tea, the mug holds 16 ounces and fits most car cup holders. --Emily Bedard

Perfect for coffee snobs!
 
Review Date: June 7, 2007
Reviewer: SJBK, Columbia, MO
I bought this as a gift for my step-mom who is a devout coffee snob. She loves Starbucks, etc. but she's really hooked on Kona and her french press at home. She's always running here and there and she takes this little cup everywhere with her. I'm completely glad that I bought it and she loves having it. Excellent product
on the go

Reviewer: Carter, Flagstaff, AZ USA
This is extremely convenient for me. Plus there's only one container to wash. Perfect if you're only brewing coffee for yourself on the way out the door in the morning.
Perfect!
 
Review Date: November 15, 2009
Reviewer: J. Tate, Houston, TX
This travel French press is perfect for everyday use, especially on the go. I have never had any problems with grounds getting into the coffee. I use course grounds and do not fill it past an inch from the top, just like the instructions say. After it brews, I press it, mix in sweetener and creamer, and then fill the remaining inch of space with more hot water to make it completely full. You can't ask for better coffee.

I find this perfect for going to work in the mornings, all you need to do is bring a mason jar or some other microwavable container along so that you can heat the water in the microwave, then pour it in. This saves you from drinking cold coffee brewed at home or the stale office coffee.

To the people that have given this product bad reviews because they are eating coffee grounds: use course grounds only and do not fill it more than an inch from the top before pressing! You can always add more water later.
I'd buy another one...
 
Review Date: September 16, 2009
Reviewer: Frederika,
I had one of these for about 6 months until, I lost it in the library - it was not in the lost and found, so someone else must have liked it too. It was a great purchase, really saves money on buying coffee out, as long as you have grounds and can get hot water, you have a good way to make coffee or tea.

Dan's comments are very valid. But, I removed my sticker right away afer i received it and did not have problems Also if you leave the lid closed it will stay hot for about an hour, which is generally long enough. I have found too that some teas work better than others in it. It also does get some condensation in-between layers - i thought this might be solved by getting the version that does not let you put a picture in it - but it still does.

One Cup Coffee Makers – Simple and Convenient

December 13th, 2009

One Cup Coffee Makers are a good option if you're the only coffee drinker in the house. They are also great if you live alone and do not wish to purchase an entire pot for just one person waste. For the freshest taste of brewed coffee should be served within twenty minutes of brewing for the delicious results. If the coffee on the burner, it is left to be bitter or even burned tasting. Thus, the aroma of beans can ruin and waste. This is where single-aCoffee makers are a good choice for the cup of Joe.

They are not only expensive but also extremely favorable. Most models come with a built-in reusable coffee filter, which filters the hassle of paper – saving you time and money as well as eliminated. Also, most coffee experts agree that reusable filters lead to a better taste and aroma, the assets of one of these types of coffee added.

Another added benefit for the single cup coffee makers is how quicklythey are. They work faster than a standard coffee machine – it saves time and money. Most brew a cup of java in the range of thirty seconds to a mere minutes. Also, many designed to allow almost any cup, or catch the cup of coffee, so that your favorite Tweety Bird mug or "best grandma in the world" cup can be used daily. Many people also like to have to use a cup of travel, so they can order their coffee and cook for one minutes on the road – important for many commuters in the morning.

OneCoffee makers can also be very versatile. Some one shot coffee makers can be used in hot tea or espresso. To brew tea in a coffee brewer, you have two simple ways. You can enjoy the water in the engine heat and pop the bag in your cup, a cup, can one way or another were given the tea bags in the filter and passed through the water, as if you were making coffee. Both are easy and delicious. Disposable espresso machines are machines that are on your hotStove and are small and light enough to travel.

These coffee machines are cost and time effective and easy to use. They are also a good option for someone their own little pot of coffee at work as well. So if you're after comfort that results in a delicious java every time insight into the purchase of a cup of coffee!
