The Bodum Chambord is the archetypal French press, its chrome frame and borosilicate glass carafe a kitchen icon for decades. Full immersion with a metal mesh plunger produces a heavy-bodied, oily cup that retains coffee's natural texture, and the method's simplicity — no paper filters, minimal technique — makes it endlessly popular. James Hoffmann's no-stir, fines-settling technique gave the humble press renewed specialty credibility.
Pros
- Full-bodied immersion coffee
