Item Info
Keep your loved ones close at hand while you commute, drive cross-country, or simply sit at your desk, thanks to this customizable coffee press/travel tumbler. The bottom of the tumbler unscrews so that you can insert a photo between two plastic sleeves across the sides. Or, insert a colorful postcard, your own graphic design, or your five-year-old's latest crayon masterpiece. The choice is yours, and you can change the scene anytime. An added bonus: The tumbler is actually a coffee (or tea) press. Spoon in some coarsely ground coffee, add hot water, and after four minutes, plunge. Enjoy up to 16 ounces of fresh-brewed coffee to go. Bodum makes the plastic, handle-less tumbler in double-wall construction to better insulate either hot or cold drinks. The lid screws on tightly, eliminating worries about popping off unexpectedly, and a flip-cap over the sip hole also cuts down on spills. After use, wash by hand only (the screw-off bottom precludes dishwasher-use). If you prefer to brew your coffee before leaving home, Bodum also makes a non-press version of the picture-insert tumbler. --Ann Bieri From the Manufacturer Awards and Accolades In 2004 the Bodum Chambord coffee press received the American Culinary Institute's award for best French press coffeemaker. The American Culinary Institute judges food preparation products such as mixers, waffle makers, and electric teakettles. These products are judged on criteria important to consumers such as ease-of-use, safety, and the quality of the food produced. The institute also judges food preparation products used in restaurants and hotels, including institutional mixers, large-volume coffee machines, and food slicers. Instructions for Use 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. Safety Instructions
Not for stovetop use. Check glass beaker for scratches, cracks, or chips. Do not use a pot that is scratched, chipped, or cracked. Install a replacement beaker before using the pot again. Keep children away while using. Hot water is a hazard to small children! Do not allow children to use this coffeemaker. Scald Hazard
Excessive plunging force can cause scalding hot liquid to shoot out of pot. Do not plunge with force. Turn lid to close spout. Use only coarse-ground coffee. 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.

Good Little Travel Press

This press works pretty well. It's made of mostly plastic so I thought the first time I poured boiling water in it it would crack. Not so. I have two of these, this one and the one with the insulated rubber ring. They have had daily use for a month and still in like new shape. Both cups are insulated and will keep coffee hot for an hour or so. You do get a few grounds, but that's true with just about any press. It helps if you wait a few minutes after pressing to take your first sip. I keep one of these at work and I make the coffee in it and then pour it through a tea strainer into my mug. Keeps the grounds out and the extra coffee hot. The one downside is adding cream and sugar to the travel mug. Once the coffee is made you have to add it through the drinking opening. Tricky, especially for sugar and powdered creamer. I tried adding powdered creamer and sugar to the coffee grounds before brewing; worked fine. You can add syrup to the grounds first as well. Didn't make any difference in the pressing or the taste. Great little mug for coffee on the go. Especially if you are partial to pressed coffee.
Great travel mug for french press lovers

My husband and I received one of these as a wedding gift, and liked it so much that we gave them to his parents as a thank you gift. It makes it easier to take coffee to work with you. Before it was: boil water, pour over coffee in french press, wait a few mins, transfer coffee to travel mug, clean out press, THEN go to work. Now it's just: boil water, pour into travel mug and GO! This is a real time-saver and makes it so there are less dishes to clean overall. We love them.
great coffee!

I don't drink a lot of coffee anymore but I know what a good cup of coffee is. I've had several different small single cup coffee makers and this one by far is the coolest and best. It makes a really good cup of coffee and I can leave the house with it, less dishes! Surprisingly it keeps the coffee warmer than other self contained travel presses I've had. All in all, I'd buy this one again.
