Product Description
Amazon.com Review
The French press is considered by many coffee aficionados to be the best way to make a perfect cup of coffee because no paper filter absorbs the essence of the flavor. Bodum’s Kenya line features the same elegant glass carafe as its original Chambord press, but handsomely employs heat-resistant, lightweight polypropylene for the lid and one-piece handle and cradle. To make coffee with a French press, remove the plunger/top ensemble, add coarse ground coffee to the glass carafe, add hot (but not boiling) water, stir with a non-metal spoon, and position the top and plunger in place. Allow the coffee to brew for about four minutes before slowing pushing down on the plunger. Pushing too hard or too quickly may cause hot liquid to squirt out. The flat lid features two spout covers: one slotted for pouring, and one solid for heat and aroma retention. When holding the handle, hands are thoughtfully protected from the hot glass by a vertical bar of the heat-resistant cradle. To clean, simply scoop out the used grounds and pop the entire unit into the dishwasher. A plastic coffee measuring spoon is included. This 48-ounce model makes twelve four-ounce cups of coffee. Made in Denmark, the press measures 8-3/4 by 6-1/2 inches and is also available in other sizes. --Ann Bieri
Product Description
Nice design with improved durability is a nice way to describe the Kenya Coffee Press. Brewing coffee in a press is one of the best ways to brew coffee. Just add the appropriate amount of coarse ground coffee (we recommend one scoop for every 4 ounce of water), fill with hot water, set the lid and plunger in place, wait 4 minutes , then press and enjoy. The water, which was just off a boil, has the best extraction capabilities. Combined with the time and lack of paper filter to soak up the essential oil and acids, pressing provided you with a well rounded flavorful cup of coffee. Brewing is easy and cleanup is easy too. Just scoop the used grounds in to you compost or garbage and rinse. The Kenya 12 Cup is 48 ounce and yields 12 - 4 ounce cups of coffee. The 12 cup size is great for entertaining.

Go with the Chambord.,

This review is from: Bodum Kenya 48-Ounce Coffee Press, Black (Kitchen)
This is my second Bodum French Press. I had the 8-cup Chambord and decided to go larger, so I purchased the 12-cup Kenya.
The old Chambord had a finer mesh and a secondary plastic screen to filter the coffee; however, I believe the assembly is the same now for both the Chambord and Kenya. During three months of using the Kenya, the glass beaker slipped from the plastic handle once while I was washing it. Luckily, it didn't break--that never happend with the Chambord. After three months, the plastic collar that holds the mesh assembly was stripped and would come apart during the plunging. I emailed Bodum and they sent a metal collar at no cost. I would recommend going with the Chambord. Still, it's better than any drip coffee maker I've used.
