Bodum Brazil 8 Cup 34oz French Press Coffee Maker Black: Glass Carafe, Dishwasher-Safe, Manual Coffee Presser

A: One mesh filter. The filter comes apart in 2 or 3 pieces (don’t have it in front of me) and it unscrews from the plunger to clean.

A: Just one filter came with the french press. The filter on the bottom unscrews from the filter and two other pieces for easy cleaning.

A: Thank you for your question! While any roast or grind of coffee will work in the BRAZIL French Press, we recommend using coarsely ground beans. Finer grinds can lead to a more bitter taste and allow more sediment to pass through the stainless steel mesh filter. For the best results, consider grinding beans at home or having your local grocery store or barista grind them for you. Hope this helps!

A: Thank you for your question! The BRAZIL French Press can be used with any roast or grind, but we recommend a coarse grind for the best flavor. Using finer grinds may result in a more bitter taste and could allow extra sediment to pass through the stainless steel mesh filter. For optimal results, try grinding your beans at home or having them ground at your local grocery store or coffee shop. Hope this helps!

A: Thank you for your question! The BRAZIL French Press is made in Portugal. Hope this helps!

A: Thank you for your question! The KENYA carafe is crafted from borosilicate glass, and the plunger is made from premium stainless steel, so your coffee does not come into contact with plastic while steeping or filtering. However, the lid is constructed from BPA-free plastic for durability, and your coffee will come into brief contact with it when pouring. Hope this helps!

A: The ideal fill level for the Brazil French Press is about 1 inch below the top of the carafe, just below the spout. This will align with the bottom of the filter when you reinsert it after filling the carafe with hot water.

A: The Bodum recommendation is to use one rounded teaspoon or one Bodum scoop of coarsely ground coffee for every 4oz of water.

A: The Caffettiera French Press features a stainless-steel outer frame and Chambord style lid while the Brazil French Press features a lightweight design that uses a single piece base and handle that connects to the lid without needing a full carafe frame. They both include a stainless-steel plunger and filter that is precisely fit into a borosilicate glass carafe.

A: Please reach out to support@bodum.com for assistance they will be glad to help investigate further and provide a replacement part of deemed necessary.

A: Absolutely! We recommend removing the lid/plunger and covering the carafe with saran wrap to keep the coffee aromas in and keep out any other aromas from your fridge out while your coffee brews overnight. Enjoy!
