Product Description

Bodum, the original manufacturer of the coffee press, is always searching for the best way to serve a cup of gourmet coffee. The French press method of brewing is already accepted worldwide as the best way to brew coffee. We asked our design team to come up with the next best thing in French press brewing. One of the comments our consumers had about French press coffee was that the quality was great but there was no way to keep it warm while they enjoyed their weekend morning tradition of relaxing with coffee while reading the paper or watching the sun rise. Enter the new Shin Bistro Double Wall Glass coffee maker! The Shin Bistro Insulated Coffee Press keeps excellently brewed coffee hot and aromatic for nearly two hours. A highly sophisticated production process using double wall glass technology leads to a stunning thermal effect.. The inner beaker is machine-blown whereas the outer beaker is mouth-blown, perfecting the balance between insulation and product stability. The Shin Bistro features a black stay-cool, non-slip rubber handle. The body is made of high-tech, ultra-light heat-resistant borosilicate glass. The operation of the press is exactly the same as our original single wall versions. It is so simple to use. To clean, simply use a rubber spatula to scoop out the grounds into your garbage or compost and rinse the press well. You are now ready for your next brewing. If you prefer, you can also put the rinsed press into the dishwasher for a more thorough cleaning. Replacement glass beakers are available. Note: Coffee is measured in 4 oz. cups so an 8-Cup press brews 8--4 oz. cups. If you look at is from the standpoint of a traditional 10-12 oz. coffee mug, this coffeemaker will brew 3-4 servings

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple is better!, December 27, 2007

This review is from: Bodum Shin Bistro Insulated 34-Ounce Double-Wall Glass Coffee Press (Kitchen)
I was searching for a drip coffee maker and just couldn't decide. I wanted a thermal pot...and then I remembered about a decade ago that I bought a Bodum coffee press and had THE BEST COFFEE I have ever tasted. I bought this and Bodum's Antigua burr coffee grinder and now enjoy consistently excellent coffee. This press makes two large mugs of coffee and keeps the coffee hot for a reasonable amount of time.

To get the most out of this press, I recommend buying whole bean coffee and grinding it as close to brewing time as possible. I put in 4 "Bodum" measures of coffee (they give you a measuring spoon) and fill with water just off the boil.

The coffee made with a press is strong, yet never bitter. It has depth and character that still amazes me. No more drip brew for me!

2.0 out of 5 stars For a French Press, it drips more than a regular coffee maker., April 10, 2008
This review is from: Bodum Shin Bistro Insulated 34-Ounce Double-Wall Glass Coffee Press (Kitchen)
I agree with themenz - this french press dribbles like crazy - unlike any of the other Bodums I've purchased. Bought 2, one for home and one for work. I already own about 5 presses in different sizes, but wanted one that was insulated. The insulation does work for about two hours, but the dribbling drives me batty. Not sure if the 2 hour insulation is worth the mess it makes. If you're buying this expecting to serve coffee at the table, go for a regular Bodum and an insulated carafe becase you can't pour the coffee anywhere except over the kitchen sink.

3.0 out of 5 stars Just OK, December 28, 2007

This review is from: Bodum Shin Bistro Insulated 34-Ounce Double-Wall Glass Coffee Press (Kitchen)
I have had this for about 2 weeks to brew loose tea. I would not recommend this product unless they fix one significant problem.

On the plus side, the maker is big so it holds three 12 oz mugs of coffee or tea. The press filter and assembly work well so no leaves enter your brew. Fairly easy to clean too and you can just pop it into the dishwasher if desired.

The maker looks great and works fast. It appear to be well built. I was surprised that the filter does not really press all the way to the bottom but that must be by design.

The double insulated feature is what sold me but that works just OK. The outside glass still gets very warm so the brew is cooling down faster than say in a thermos type jug. I wonder if they evacuated the air between the layers. I suspect not.

The handle feels a bit loose as it is only attached by the thin metal strap at the top. But it holds up even when full and does not seem like it would loosen over time. There is a screw to tighten.

Before the bad news, I should mention that the leaves pressed to the bottom of the pot continue to brew as it sits. The last cup of tea or coffee will be very strong indeed.

There is one major problem that has me considering returning this item. When you pour your first cup from a full container, the liquid dribbles down the front of the maker. I think this comes from the thickness of the double glass on the lip of the spout. So I need to pour my first cup or two over my trash can in my office or over a sink so I don't get tea everywhere. This is not good as tea stains very easily.
