Q: What brands of pre-ground coffee does anyone reccomend? Will Folgers work in a pinch as well?
submitted by Drea - 1 year ago
A: I have been using pre ground bagged coffee just fine. I only get a few grains get past the filter. Most grocery stores that sell whole bean coffee also have a grinder nearby.
submitted byAndrew H - 1 year ago
A: Thank you for your question! While any roast or grind of coffee will work in the BRAZIL French Press, we recommend using coarsely ground beans. Finer grinds can lead to a more bitter taste and allow more sediment to pass through the stainless steel mesh filter. For the best results, consider grinding beans at home or having your local grocery store or barista grind them for you. Hope this helps!

Q: How does this come apart to clean? How many filters?
submitted by targetq - 9 years ago
A: Just one filter came with the french press. The filter on the bottom unscrews from the filter and two other pieces for easy cleaning.
submitted bySan - 9 years ago
A: One mesh filter. The filter comes apart in 2 or 3 pieces (don’t have it in front of me) and it unscrews from the plunger to clean.

Q: Is the glass part removable?
submitted by Shelby - 3 months ago
A: Thank you for question! No, we do not recommend trying to remove the glass carafe from the BRAZIL French Press, due to the design of the handle being hooked over the lip of the glass. Attempting to remove the carafe could result in breaking both the handle and the carafe. The entirety of the BRAZIL is dishwasher safe, however, so you can feel free to place the carafe inside the frame into the dishwasher. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to reach out directly to our customer service team at support@bodum.com. Hope this helps!

Q: Handle to close to glass can cause burns and spillage
submitted by Poor review - 5 months ago
A: Thank you for sharing your feedback on the BRAZIL French Press. The BRAZIL is designed to be ergonomic and stylish, and there should be enough room between the handle and the carafe that you do not come into contact with the hot glass when pouring. We encourage you to take care when handling any hot water or food preparations. If you would like to share more specifics about your experience so we can better understand how the BRAZIL failed to meet your expectations, please feel free to reach out directly to our customer service team at support@bodum.com. We appreciate the opportunity to hear from you!

Q: Shouldn’t the water be boiling instead of just hot?
submitted by Deidre - 1 year ago
A: Thank you for your question! For French press coffee, the ideal water temperature is actually just below boiling — between 194–205°F. While boiling water is commonly used, it can lead to over-extracted, more bitter coffee. Letting your water come to a boil, then waiting a minute or two before brewing, will help you achieve an optimal flavor. Hope this helps!

Q: Could even folgers work in this in a pinch?What brand of coffee (pre-ground) would anyone reccomend?
submitted by Drea - 1 year ago
A: Thank you for your question! The BRAZIL French Press can be used with any roast or grind, but we recommend a coarse grind for the best flavor. Using finer grinds may result in a more bitter taste and could allow extra sediment to pass through the stainless steel mesh filter. For optimal results, try grinding your beans at home or having them ground at your local grocery store or coffee shop. Hope this helps!

Q: Is any plastic coming into contact with the hot water when using this?
submitted by Mw3p14 - 2 years ago
A: Thank you for your question! The KENYA carafe is crafted from borosilicate glass, and the plunger is made from premium stainless steel, so your coffee does not come into contact with plastic while steeping or filtering. However, the lid is constructed from BPA-free plastic for durability, and your coffee will come into brief contact with it when pouring. Hope this helps!

Brand expert
Q: how much water can be used with each fill? i'm surprised there are no water markings on the glass to know how high to fill.
submitted by elp - 2 years ago
A: The ideal fill level for the Brazil French Press is about 1 inch below the top of the carafe, just below the spout. This will align with the bottom of the filter when you reinsert it after filling the carafe with hot water.
submitted byBodum - 2 years ago
Brand expert
Q: How much coffee do you put in? Do you fill it to the black bottom rim? Coffee seems a tad weak.
submitted by Joe - 3 years ago
A: The Bodum recommendation is to use one rounded teaspoon or one Bodum scoop of coarsely ground coffee for every 4oz of water.
This French press is a popular choice among guests for its ability to brew rich and flavorful coffee quickly and easily. Many appreciate its simple design and ease of cleaning, making it a convenient option for daily use. However, some guests have raised concerns about its durability, particularly regarding the glass carafe and plastic components. Overall, it offers a great value for those seeking a straightforward coffee-making experience.

Not an 8 cup press
This is NOT an 8 cup press. I tried to upload a photo but it was not allowed. I have a coffee press identical size. I ordered this one because it indicated 8 cups. I measured out water and it holds 4 cups of water.

Good but Not as Good
I first bought this version around 2017 and used it almost daily for years until it got a big chip in it. I just repurchased and was very disappointed to find this little black plastic piece no longer unscrews, it’s just fused on. This makes cleaning the filter more difficult but even more annoyingly, you can’t replace the filter anymore!! I replaced the mesh filter on my previous version twice, extending the life of the product. Still a good French press but this is a bummer.

DANGEROUS - do not buy
DO NOT BUY. Broke at six months of gentle, proper and infrequent use. The glass carafe snapped at the point where the plastic handle curves around to attach to the glass. When the big chunk of glass (3”) popped off, it caused hot coffee to spill out over me (torso/hip) and my counter. Design flaw to have the handle put a point of continual pressure on the glass carafe. Now I’m burned. DON’T BUY.

Full of grains, weak and bitter coffee
Coffee was always weak and bitter. I have no idea why because I used high quality coffee that tastes amazing in other coffee makers. Almost half of the grains get into your coffee too. It took me about an hour to get all the grains out using a make-shift strainer with a coffee filter over my cup. It was a huge mess too.

We’re sorry to hear that you’re not completely satisfied with your BRAZIL French Press. For optimal results, we recommend using fresh, coarsely ground coffee, as well as using the provided Bodum Scoop to measure out one scoop for each 4oz of coffee you are making, ensuring the temperature of the water isn’t too hot, and steeping the coffee for no more than 4 minutes. Hopefully, these suggestions will help improve the flavor and texture of your coffee. If you would like to share more details about your experience with us, please feel free to reach out directly to our customer service team at support@bodum.com. Thank you for your review!

Annoyed
This is the dumbest design. The handle is in the way of the plunger ?? Why ? Returning.
1 reply from Bodum team - 5 months ago
We’re sorry to hear that you’re frustrated with your BRAZIL French Press. The frame of the press is designed to be simple and efficient, affixing to the carafe by the handle sitting on the rim; this does mean that the filter has to be negotiated around the rounded end of the handle in order to sit correctly into the carafe. We appreciate your feedback about this design, and if you would like to share your thoughts directly with our customer service team, please feel free to reach out directly at support@bodum.com. Thank you for your review!

Easy to use and to clean
This is my first French press coffee maker. I’ve used it daily for three weeks. I like the coffee and the convenience. It tastes better than my electric drip coffee maker, but not as good as a stove top espresso maker. But, I get two full mugs from this press, but only one from my espresso maker.

Great product, greater pricepoint
So, I see a lot reviews complaining about quality. In my personal opinion, if you use this device with a little ease and handle it with care, it is super durable and convenient to use. I’ve been using mine now 3 months, haven’t had a single issue with it at all. The only thing I would mention is, any coffee that is ground too finely, will pass through the mesh screen and may result in your coffee being slightly gritty or chalky. Otherwise a great product for the price point.

design flaw
who designed this??? having the handle stick out so you can’t easily put the lid on is just insanely poor designing. it makes it very clunky to use. the lid also doesn’t stay in place while you push down the plunger. i know it’s cheap but come
1 reply from Bodum team - 9 months ago
We’re sorry to hear you’re not completely satisfied with your BRAZIL French Press. The handle is designed to affix to the top of the carafe and secure it to the base both sleekly and securely, and the lid includes a small divot that nestles under the handle so it stays snug on top of the carafe. While pressing the plunger down, if the lid becomes displaced, simply push it back into place; this will not interfere with the plunger’s ability to depress fully and properly filter your coffee. If you would like to share more of your insights, please feel free to reach out directly to our customer service team at support@bodum.com. Thank you for your review!

I’ve been using this French press recently, and it genuinely impressed me. It feels sturdy, looks clean, and the brewing process is super simple—add grounds, hot water, wait a few minutes, then press. The flavor is rich, bold, and way smoother than drip coffee. Cleanup takes seconds. If you want easy, café-level coffee at home, this thing delivers

I have purchased this item twice, and the metal plugger stem broke where it attaches to the filter on both purchases, after ~15 uses. I will not purchase this item again.
1 reply from Bodum team - 10 months ago
We’re sorry to hear that your BRAZIL French Press broke. Please note that the plunger post is removable and screws into the filter, and after washing or repeated use it is possible for the post to unscrew and come apart. You can try reassembling your BRAZIL by aligning the threading on the post with the filter and tightening. If this is not possible, we would love to know more details about where and how the post broke so we can better investigate the issue; please reach out to our customer service team at support@bodum.com with more information about your experience. Thank you for your review!
