I purchase a lot from Amazon.com, but have seldom been as impressed as I am by the Bodum Double-Wall Brewer.

I should not have been surprised, Bodum has been a leader in coffee makers (chiefly French press) and I already owned some of their unique double-walled glasses. They make the liquid seem to float in air.

Starting from the top, the included gold plated titanium filter is the best of its type I have seen. You can use standard paper filters with this brewer, but the gold filter lets all of the coffee's flavorful oils pass through while trapping the grounds.

The clear filter base that attaches with a silicone ring is made of heavy glass, not plastic. It can remain perfectly clear of stains and should never scratch.

Also included is a silicone stopper to cap off the carafe once brewing is done.

The glass carafe has a silicone grip, and silicone base bumper. The double walled construction not only looks great, but keeps the coffee warm for over an hour.

The base bumper is a good idea, although the glass is exceptionally strong, it is also exceptionally thin and will shatter without careful handling. I do not mark it down for this as thicker glass would destroy the liquid floating in space illusion.

I gave 2 as gifts, and both recipients were absolutely thrilled. I wish they were unbreakable (be careful with the glass filter holder as well) but cannot take marks away from Bodum for choosing the best possible construction for beauty, stain resistance, and taste.

Not for everyday use for those who are not careful. But for impressing guests, remove the bottom bumper when bringing the carafe to the table for the full effect.

5.0 out of 5 stars making coffee, January 14, 2008

The pour over drip coffee maker is the simplest and least expensive way of making a great cup of coffee. For everyday use I use a Melita pour over unit I bought at the supermarket for $12.00 (I also only use Melita paper filters with it)
I use the Bistro when there is company but that's for looks the coffee is no better.
The gold filter requires a coarser grind of coffee than a paper filter and you may wind up with a little residue in the bottom of your cup but not as much as you do with a French press.
I always use freshly ground coffee no matter what method of coffee making I am using. I usually pour hot water through the filter and into the carafe to preheat it before making coffee in a pour over drip unit

I can't recommend this. As much as I love Bodum's designs, the glass carafe on this coffee maker shattered the first time I used it. I made a pot of coffee, poured myself a cup, turned away and heard a 'pop.' The thin glass at the bottom of the carafe had shattered - I can only assume because of temperature as there was no impact.
