The Filterless Manual French Press Vacuum Coffee System
A Bodum coffee maker is not your regular electrical drip or vacuum coffee maker or even an espresso machine.
The Bodum coffee machine comes as a French Press pot. Coffee connoisseurs seem to be gearing more towards the popular press pot as there is a consensus that using a press pot it easy, saves energy and is “green” product and at the same time produce rich delicious hot beverage drinks.
The Bodum Company was founded in 1944 in Copenhagen by Peter Bodum. The company’s first design maker was a vacuum coffee brewer called “Santos”.
Bodum Santos vacuum coffee maker was an instant hit to consumers not only because it produced rich and full-bodied drink but it is also quite easy to brew as the Santos was an stovetop vacuum machine.
The success of initial Bodum coffee makers led to the design and development of various Bodum French Press pots with the Chambord as its initial product. A Bodum electric coffee maker it is not, as a French press only requires “manual labor” to produce unadulterated rich taste. There is no paper filter to come between the brewed coffee, its essential oils and your cup.

Pros & Cons of Bodum Coffee Makers
Bodum coffee maker has its good and bad sides. For advantages, you have a stronger cup of coffee. The pressing and straining of the coffee grounds bring out a better tasting cup as the oil are not left in a paper strainer. It is very portable and “green” as there is no need for electricity to operate it. It is easy to clean.
On the negative side, there is a need to use a conical burr for fine grounds. It is always best to use freshly ground coffee when using a press pot. If the plunging or pressing is uneven, some grounds might escape from the strainer and mix with the liquid. However, if you don’t mind a little sediment in your cup, then a little sludge should not be a problem. You might need a thermal carafe to keep the coffee hot.

How to use or “French Press” a Bodum Coffee Pot?
It is easy and fast to operate a Bodum coffee maker since it works on the principle of a French press. Here are some basic instructions:
All you need to do is add your freshly ground beans, add hot water (should be in the process of boiling as you grind the beans), stir it a bit with a wooden chopstick and watch as the coffee “bloom” rise.
Position the press and let the ground seep between 1 minute to 4 (depending on the size of the pot and amount of grounds) then press slowly and evenly for that aromatic cup of rich and full-bodied coffee.
