When you have a Bodum coffee maker, you can have several different brand names, such as Black Jacketed, Bonjour Hugo or Chef's Choice. The Black Jacketed French Press, for example, has a durable 20oz. carafe and is suitable for making either tea or coffee. The Chef's Choice French press is a multifunctional kitchen appliance. Not only is this a press coffee maker for brewing your favorite flavour of coffee grinds, but it is also a press for brewing tea with tea leaves. If you just want to boil water, you can switch the top and you have a kettle instead of a coffee percolator.
Although this French Press is electric, it is cordless, which ensures that you have the perfect temperature for your morning cuppa, whether it is French Roast coffee or a cup of tea. You can use the boil and press feature so that you can boil water in the same carafe as you brew tea and coffee. The new solid state heating element in this press eliminates the possibility of the water cooling down when you transfer the boiling water to the carafe, which often happens in other French press machines. When the water boils, the French press automatically shuts off. This machine is versatile in the fact that it also some with an extra lid, if you want to use it as a electric pot kettle.
The Bodum Eileen 4 cup coffee maker makes the hottest coffee and keeps it that way for hours. It has a thermal carafe and a programmable option so that you can put the grinds in the filter basket the night before, fill the water tank and program the percolator to have your coffee brewed and waiting for you in the morning. You can take the carafe with you when you go to work so you don't have to stop at Starbucks along the way. The outside of the carafe stays cool to the touch, so you won't have to wear gloves to carry it around with you.
This Bodum model does not have a dangerous hot plate so you don't have to worry that the little one will reach up and burn his/her hand. The carafe keeps the coffee hot, but it does not keep brewing it so that at the end of the day, the java tastes just as fresh as it does in the morning.
