Amazon.com Review
This clever travel coffee press from Bodum makes fresh coffee even fresher. Not only does it allow you to drink coffee on the go--it actually brews it on the go. Like the Chambord press that is Bodum's most popular product, this unit features a built-in screen plunger that presses grounds to the bottom of the mug. Its makes coffee in just four minutes, and its durable plastic construction means it's great for travel, camping, and commuting. The design includes insulated double walls, a spill-resistant lid, and a Santoprene rubber grip. Also great for loose-leaf tea, it holds 16 ounces and fits most car cup holders. i--Emily Bedard/i PBFrom the Manufacturer/BP tabletable border="0" cellpadding="8" trtdimg src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/kitchen/detailpages/cookstools/aci.bodum.sm.jpg" align="left"/td td P BAwards and Accolades/BP In 2004 the Bodum Chambord coffee press received the American Culinary Institute's award for best French press coffeemaker.p The American Culinary Institute judges food preparation products such as mixers, waffle makers, and electric teakettles.

Place pot on a dry, flat, nonslip surface. Hold handle firmly, then pull the plunger straight up and out of the pot. p 2. For each 1.25-deciliter/4-ounce cup, put 1 rounded tablespoon or 1 Bodum scoop of coarse-ground coffee into the pot. Pbr bCaution:/b Use only coarse-ground coffee. Fine grind can clog the filter and create high pressure. Place coffee maker on a heatproof, nonslip surface. p 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. brP bCaution:/b Metal spoons can scratch or chip the glass beaker and cause breakage. p 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. p 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. brP bWARNING:/b Using excessive force can cause scalding liquid to shoot out of the pot. p 6.

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. p 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. p 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. p 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. p 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. p 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. p 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. p 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 cafe where Bodum's own selection of coffees and teas are served. p 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.

 Bodum 16 oz insulated travel coffee press November 18, 2008
R. Dean
This was given as a gift. The first time it was used, it was accidently dropped and broke into pieces. Not very sturdy for a "travel press".

You can never get the last 2 ounces of coffee out of this thing. I own several bodums and this is the worst of the lot. Grounds are always in my coffee.....It just isn't that great, but it works... br / br /Other then these two things, its great.....It should be cheaper for what it is tho. br / br /We did receive it promptly and it was in new condition. The issues we have with it have nothing to do with the seller.
 Perfect for wearing your coffee! March 8, 2008

Buying this was a mistake, I was so excited, until I realized that the seal doesn't work properly. 5 tips back and coffee ran onto my blouse only 15 minutes into the workday. Grrr....
Tastes great, if you don't mind January 24, 2008
James D. Poole (Holbrook, CA USA)
having to press it twice to get all the grounds out. I use the coursest grounds my burr grinder can make, but every time I make a cup of coffee I have to press it, remove the lid and get all the grounds off the filter, then press it again. I still get some grounds after that, but not as bad. Also, after only a few months of use the seal has stopped working so I can't use this as a travel mug anymore. I'll probably buy one of the Bodum Chambord coffee presses and a thermos.
