Full details

The Bodum Chambord Coffee Maker is ideal for individual coffee drinkers or couples who value a traditional, full-bodied brew. Its primary benefit is the ability to produce rich, aromatic coffee using a simple immersion process, though users should be aware that its 0.35-litre capacity limits it to a maximum of three small cups per brew.

FAQs

Can I use this for loose-leaf tea?

Yes, the French press mechanism is excellent for brewing loose-leaf tea as well.

How many cups does the 0.35L version make?

It is designed to make approximately 3 cups based on a standard small coffee serving size.

Is the handle heat-resistant?

Yes, the handle is designed to stay cool to the touch while you pour your coffee.

Can I place the glass carafe on a stove?

No, the glass carafe is not designed for use on a direct heat source or stove burner.

Should I use boiling water?

It is recommended to wait 30 seconds after your water boils before pouring to reach the ideal temperature for extraction.

Troubleshooting

Coffee grounds in the cup

Use a coarser grind of coffee or ensure the stainless steel filter screen is tightened securely to the plunger.

Plunger is difficult to press down

If the resistance is too high, your coffee grind is likely too fine. Use a coarser setting next time.

Water leakage around the lid

Ensure the lid is properly aligned with the spout and that the plunger rod is perfectly vertical during the press.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable borosilicate glass construction
  • High-quality stainless steel filtration
  • Easy to clean and dishwasher safe
  • Compact footprint for small kitchens

Cons

  • Small 0.35L capacity may be insufficient for large groups

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up the Chambord is straightforward: ensure the mesh filter is firmly attached to the press rod before your first use. For maintenance, the carafe and plunger assembly are completely dishwasher safe. If washing by hand, use a soft sponge to avoid scratching the glass. Avoid using metal spoons inside the glass carafe to prevent potential cracks or chips, and always ensure the glass is not placed directly on a stove burner, as it is designed for immersion brewing, not direct heating.
