How can you prepare flavorful coffee at home without spending thousands of dollars? This question has plagued coffee lovers for decades. I have tried several machines but I have come to the following conclusion: the coffee press is the best bang for your buck. A Bodum coffee press and quality beans are match made in heaven. The Bodum Chambord is a 8-cup French press that prevents scorching of the beans. It includes a stainless-steel press mechanism, chrome-plated brass frame, and glass carafe. In 2004, The American Culinary Institute named the Chambord the best French press coffeemaker.
