The Bodum Brazil Glass 3-Cup Coffee Press, Black is a brilliant French press that makes marvelous freshly brewed cup of coffee any where at any time. This is a portable coffee pot that can be taken whenever you are on move. This is ideal for coffee enthusiasts to sip a hot cup of coffee at home or office. I would suggest this device for a single beverage drinker and is not advisable for multiple users. The 3-Cup in the name is a misnomer that creates a bit of confusion regarding the volume of coffee that can be made. This makes either one normal US coffee mug (12-ounce) or three 4 ounce cups.
This is a wonderful coffee pot that makes rich and smooth coffee of superior quality. The aroma and the complete flavor of this coffee can put the instant coffee mixes and automatic coffee machine and dispensing machines to shame. It takes only 4 minutes to prepare and relish the drink. This is user friendly equipment and does not require any brewing skills to make a tempting coffee. One of the major drawbacks with this unit is the glass construction. This is highly fragile and I have to be really careful and hold my breath while transporting or stirring the preparation. I wish it comes in some sturdy construction.
With the Bodum Brazil Glass 3-Cup Coffee Press, coffee making is a pleasant experience. Just add the powder and warm water in the jar. Stir it and leave it for 4 minutes to steep the full aroma and original flavor. The filter is not made of paper and hence you can enjoy the unadulterated pure aroma of coffee and sip with total satisfaction. Do not keep the coffee for more than 4 minutes because it might get saturated with the oils and start getting a sharp bitter and acrid taste. Moreover the coffee becomes cold. This is perfectly designed. The frame and the handle are made of a special heat resistant material making it easy to hold.
This comes at $16. So even if the pot breaks it is not an issue to replace. The dimensions of this instant coffee pot are 8-3/4 x 5-1/4 inches. The Bodum Brazil Glass 3-Cup Coffee Press can be washed in a dish washer but the cleaning part is a bit messy though not a serious problem. It would be better if they can do something with the plastic nuts and the superficial threads in the press so that it remains intact with the machine and does not frequently pop out and fall to the preparation. I would like the parts to be made of a strong material something like a metal and not fragile plastic. On the whole this is a good coffee pot that facilitates you to drink authentic coffee at your convenience.
