“Not so hot, coming from a drip coffeemaker” I bought this coffee press based on the many glowing reviews here at Amazon. It makes good coffee, but it should. A French press is a simple device. It’s pretty. But it’s a poor thermal carafe and my coffee’s tepid after only an hour and a bit. I think may reviewers come to this product from single-wall presses and they’re grateful for an increase temperature retention. I come from a drip coffee maker with a carafe warmer, so I’m not pleased with quickly cooling coffee.

Other drawbacks to a stainless press compared to a drip coffee maker are opaque walls so you can’t see how much coffee is left; and the need to measure out your dosage since you can’t see a poured amount as you can when filling a filter basket. The need for a separate hot water solution is something I anticipated. Yes, I’m getting better coffee via the press compared to drip, I just wish it would stay hot longer.

Product Description

Bodum Columbia Sugar & Creamer Set – Bodum K1305-16

Modern design can be far from sterile, as this stainless-steel sugar and creamer set from Bodum illustrates. Highly polished with a sensuous curve, each piece begs to be picked up and cradled in the hand. Measuring 2-3/4 by 2-3/4 inches, the rotund sugar bowl holds 3/4-cup of sugar, while the 4-inch-high creamer holds 1-1/4 cups of liquid. A press-fit lid for each keeps contents from spilling: the creamer¡¯s lid with air hole is shaped to fit over the spout with just enough room to pour without removing, while an opening under the sugar¡¯s lid allows the accompanying sugar spoon to protrude. Double-sided with blunt ends, the stainless-steel spoon provides the option of a large or small scoop of sugar. Or, one end can be used to scoop, the other to stir. The double-walled construction means cream stays cooler longer. Designed by Bodum¡¯s creative genius Carsten Jorgensen, the set complements the Columbia line of bowls and thermal coffee and tea presses. –Ann Bieri

Best Bodum Yet
This is a beautifully made coffee pot that is easy to clean. It keeps the coffee hot for a fair amount of time. My only complaint is that the lid is not “thermal” and it could keep coffee warmer longer. I have owned many presses and I’ve gotten tired of replacing the glass carafe. I would reccommend this pot for other butter fingers out there, too. …more info

Espresso Bar at Home
This has to be the best French Press ever made. Keeps in the warmth and best of all is unbreakable. It may cost a little more but I have two of these that have gone around the world with me several times and still are in great shape turning out great coffee. Warm it up before you start and you’ll have lovely coffee that stays hot….more info

Soooo Cute!
This is the perfect press for a mug of coffee. I have 3 sizes of this coffee pot and I adore them all. This one is used for the single cup (mug) of coffee. It is quite small, but very cute. All the thermal presses work better if you preheat it with some water from the kettle. I switched to these after many years of replacing broken glass press carafes. I think this is a much better press than the glass variety. That said, the replacement filters can be a challenge to find. You only need new ones once in a great while. I’m not sure why, but the filter mechanism for the thermal presses is different from the filter for the glass presses. Recently, the filter from our 8-cup model disintegrated after several years of daily use. I wan’t able to find a replacement for it, so I used a filter/spring combo made for the glass press of the same size. It works just fine and those are easier to find. I put the carafe in the dishwasher and wash the lid and filter by hand. …more info
