Bodum Coffee Press:
The Young Press was designed by the Bodum Design Group to develop a modern yet functional coffee press that delivers top quality coffee and can be used in a variety of environments. The durable frame is made of santoprene - a hard rubber like material. The windows are made of clear polycarbonate. Together, these two layers form a protective skin around the glass beaker that helps prevent breakage, making the Young Press an ideal press for home, office, boat, and even camping. The glass beaker can easily be removed for cleaning and placement in the dishwasher. For those who prefer to hand-wash their Young Press, they don't need to worry as much about knocking the glass beaker against a metal sink. The Young Press' frame also assists in keeping the coffee hot longer while insuring that the body of the press remains cool to the touch and is safe to set on most surfaces. Should the glass beaker break, it is easily replaced with the the standard Bodum 8-Cup Replacement Glass. The Young Press brews 8 - 4oz. cups of coffee or 1.0 litter / 34 oz. This size is ideal for serving 2 - 3 people.
For best results, use coarse ground coffee. Just add the appropriate amount of ground coffee to the beaker (we recommend one 7 gram scoop per 4 oz. of water). Fill the beaker with hot water (just off of a boil). Leave about an inch from the top of the beaker. Give the coffee a stir with a plastic or wooden utensil to mix it completely with the water. Set the plunger and lid unit in place with the safety lid in the closed position. Allow the coffee to brew for 4-minutes and then press. Turn the safety lid to the open position, serve and enjoy. There is no paper or additional filter required. The 3-part stainless steel filter system is built right into the press.
by Frank (Gallup, NM) 3 reviews This French Press type of coffee maker is my favorite. I use it on weekends because it makes coffee so fast. I have a larger Bodum Stainless 12 cup press for company. I love the Young Press because it is insulated and so keeps the coffee hotter longer which is a requirement of mine in any press. This feature keeps it from breaking as easily as a press without the outer layer. This press is a very easy to clean. The inner beaker comes out but I clean it without taking it out. It is great for trips and weekends for my wife an I. I never realized how much I would like it or use it.
Would purchase again
