The Bodum Chambord is the french press you picture when you hear the words french press - and it has earned that status. The borosilicate glass, chrome frame, and three-part stainless mesh filter have barely changed since the 1970s. It makes a rich, full-bodied cup heavy with coffee oils, and parts are readily available when the glass inevitably breaks. Not the brightest cup, but arguably the coziest.

What we liked and didn't

Pros

  • Classic design that works
  • Full-bodied, oil-rich cup
  • Replacement glass and filters easy to find

Cons

  • Sediment at the bottom of the cup
  • Glass carafe is fragile
