As indicated in the listing "**Please note: As you can see in the photo the plastic sheeting that came wrapped around the binder has separated over time.** I paid 3 x's the alloted amount for shipping to try to make up for it. I'm a little peeved I didn't receive the exclusive card myself!

Bodum Chambord 8 cup French Press Coffee Maker (1928)
I've always drank tons of coffee and usually from a standard coffee maker. I bought a portable french press that held about 2-3 cups and liked it till I purchased this item. I'll never use anything but this item until it breaks or I can find one that makes 20 cups, and has such an intricate filtering system. Flavor: The difference in flavor is absolutely incredible. Reading the guide it mentions how the standard coffee makers (and even a few french press coffee makers) use a paper filter. The paper filter filters out the grounds but also inadvertently filters out some essential oils and acids inside the grounds that really, really affect the flavor of the coffee. Making the coffee: This model makes 8 cups (from the guide, "1,25 dl/4 oz. cup) using 1 rounded tablespoon (comes with a short handled measuring spoon) and you simply add very hot water and let it sit 4 minutes; press the handle down slowly until it hits the bottom--trapping the coffee grounds at the bottom. I honestly didn't read past the first little page of the round accordion instruction manual, but it was very easy to see at the top if you twist the stainless cover left or right there is also a strainer built into the lid for extra protection from grounds. You can then pour your coffee that will be ground free and absolutely full of delicious coffee. Warning: resist the urge to add boiling water. The instructions will tell you not to, and I'm not sure why, but there are two reasons you shouldn't. One is you'll be waiting forever before you can drink it without burning your mouth. The other reason is the coffee will taste differently from how it is supposed to be done. Cleaning: Is very,very simple. The item is stainless and glass with a stainless filter that can be used for a very very long time if taken care of. Filter: I've seen other models with the wire mess over the stainless circular strainer but this one has a very intricate mess web on the sides that comes out to fit snuggled up against the inside of the beaker. The filter system on this model seems to have 2 layers more plus the stainless wrap on the sides. I've not seen one with the detailed of a filter on it before. New from the site online this particular model is 88 dollars new. There are some deals here on Ebay to be had. Enjoy!
