Bodum Chambord French Press Coffee Maker 12 oz, Chrome

The iconic French press coffeemaker, Bodum Chambord, is a beloved original that has become synonymous with the Bodum name worldwide. Originally developed by Italian Attilo Calimani in the 1930s, this design gained popularity in cafes after World War II, finding its breakthrough in France during the 1950s.

Inspired by the tower of the famous French castle Chambord, Jørgen Bodum began working on his own version of the French press in the 1970s. Teaming up with the French company Melior-Martin, they produced a dome-shaped version similar to the Bodum Chambord. Bodum later acquired Melior-Martin in 1991, bringing this iconic design to households around the world.

Today, the Bodum Chambord continues to be produced with the same artisan craftsmanship, now in a BODUM-owned factory in Portugal with a focus on environmentally responsible manufacturing. The French press system remains a greener way to brew coffee, emphasizing taste over waste.

With a commitment to environmentally correct manufacturing, the Bodum Chambord features a frame and lid made of stainless steel with a durable chrome plating process. The carafe is crafted from a BPA-free Tritan plastic, offering a shatterproof and scratch-resistant option. The matte-finished black handle adds to the classic quality of the design.

The French press system remains the ultimate way to brew an excellent cup of coffee. By using fresh coarse ground beans with water at the optimal temperature, the Bodum Chambord can produce 12 to 51 ounces of coffee in just 4 minutes. Made with a recyclable Tritan plastic beaker, this French press provides a cleaner and greener cup of coffee while maintaining its timeless design and quality.
