Product Description
The Bistro Coffee Press was originally designed in 1974 and is being reintroduced to the market this year as part of our 60th Anniversary. Today, we are celebrating 60 years of Danish Design. The Bistro is the first plastic frame press ever designed that incorporates the philosophy that Bodum products symbolize: beautiful simplicity and quality materials made for everyday use. The Bistro was the first collaboration between Carsten Jörgensen and Jörgen Bodum after Jörgen began running the company that his father Peter founded in 1944. Deemed an instant success due to the fact that it exemplified Bodum's philosophy that "Good Design Should Not Be Expensive", the Bistro made quality coffee and quality design available to everyone at an affordable price. Today, we remain focused on that very same philosophy and have become experts in making a quality coffee press. The Bistro 8-Cup coffee press makes 32-ounces of coffee and produces 8 - 4 oz. cups of coffee or 4 - 8 oz. cups of coffee. Made of stainless steel, durable PP plastic and borosilicate glass, the Bistro continues to brew an excellent cup of coffee.

Great press, but the new plunger sucks,
By jaydro (Durham, NC USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bodum Bistro 8-Cup Coffee Press (Kitchen)
The Bodum presses are great. I ordered this one to replace an old one that broke and had long had a damaged handle. I'm glad I kept my old lid/plunger, though, because it seems to work much better than the new one, which seems to have been modified by a committee of corporate lawyers. The new lid is great, but the plunger doesn't seem to go as far down (to prevent me from scalding myself should I be too vigorous, one would presume), and my coffee tasted sour. After a week of that, I switched back to the old lid/plunger--it makes much better coffee.

I love french pressed coffee!,
By
This review is from: Bodum Bistro 8-Cup Coffee Press (Kitchen)
This is actually the second french press that I've bought, because the first one broke, so be careful with it, the glass is very thin, just like a coffee pot, and fragile. After having a french press for a while, I gave my drip coffee maker away, I don't think I could go back.
If you've never tried a french press before and like full flavored coffee, you owe it to yourself to try one of these. of course For the best flavor you should always grind your beans right before you brew them. This perticular press comes with a neat little cork base for the glass to sit on which isnt pictured on amazon. Other than that, its pretty much like all the other Bodum french presses that I've ever seen. Nice quality, attractive design (and if this design doesnt suit you, they make many different ones. It's already been stated in other reviews, but I'll say it again, the 8-cup measurement is a little misleading, its actually 4 cups, 32oz, so keep that in mind when thinking of size. If you need to make coffee for more than 2-3 people (depending on how much you like to drink)this size can be a little small. If you need to make more than this at one time I think they make a bigger one, or you could just get two. I wouldnt get anything smaller than this size though, because it still works just as good for making one cup at a time, and since it takes a little bit longer than drip coffee to make, you don't want to have to make one cup then turn around and make another again if you need more.

Great little Coffee press,
This review is from: Bodum Bistro 8-Cup Coffee Press (Kitchen)
We were very pleased with the size of this press. Others that we have had were too small for more than one cup of coffee but this one easily makes 2 or 3.
