The Chambord is the original Bodum French Press Coffee Maker. Its classic styling is attractive yet practical enough to be used daily and brought to the kitchen and dining table enabling one to drink French Press coffee the way it was meant to be - fresh and hot.
The newer versions have an extra plastic sleeve/neck that fits inside the glass (under the chromed lid) that can be adjusted between 2 settings: slit - for a smoother safer pour, and closed: to help prevent hot liquid shooting out when plunger is accidentally plunged too quickly and with too much force. A very thoughtful safety feature.
The classic ball-shaped knob is also an important safety feature as it enables a good grip when pulling the plunger back out for washing. Other more 'modern" and decorative presses (both in and outside of the Bodum line) have different-shaped knobs that do not serve their function. Those require a finger to be inserted into the spout and upward pressure exerted onto the snug lid. Awkward at best, and quite simply dangerous as inappropriate force can break the glass spout at this weak spot.
Taste: the absence of paper filters enable the natural oils and a small amount of coffee silt to be present in the coffee. This results if a more fragrant and fuller tasting coffee.
Cons with all traditional non-insulated French Press Coffees:
1) Coffee gets cold quickly, so you should only make as much as you will drink immediately.
2) The small amount of coffee silt settles as sediment/sludge in the bottom of your mug and the Press-pot. The larger the pot/batch the more sediment there is.
3) The Bodum 'cup" is actually 4oz and the consumer needs to be aware of the actual capacity/capability of the Press-pot. [See table above]. In addition, there is small amount of liquid left in the bottom of the Press-pot even when the plunger is fully depressed. Again this amount is larger the larger the pot/batch.
I have all the sizes and find that I use the first three sizes the most frequently. The 12oz at work and if I am drinking alone, the 16oz for guests - each gets their own individual 16oz pot if they usually have more than 1 mug of coffee. And on weekends the 32oz pot for breakfast for 2. I rarely use the 48oz unless a large number of people want coffee after dinner.

Description of Bodum Chambord 34-Ounce Locking-Lid French Press Coffee Maker, 8-Cup with Bonus 15-Ounce Travel Press and Lid
Limited edition set. In terms of excellent coffee brewing, manual labor is more popular than ever ? that is if pressing a plunger can be qualified as manual labor. The french press lets the coffee beans develop their fullest aroma so it doesn't come as a surprise that it is the brewing method of choice for coffee tasters trying to determine quality beans. The simplest route to an excellent-cup of coffee: just add coarsely ground coffee to the carafe then fill hot water just off of a boil and finally, wait for 4 minutes then press down the plunger and enjoy a great-cup of coffee. This latest update comes with a lid that closes off the spout, which makes the locking-lid chambord spill-resistant should it get knocked over. It also makes for better temperature control, helping to lock in the temperature and aroma longer than the traditional french press lids. The chambord is made from borosilicate glass, bpa-free plastic, chrome-plated steel and silicone. No additional filters are needed because the three-piece stainless steel filter is built right in. The new locking lid chambord, like our traditional chambord, is made in Portugal and the entire unit is dishwasher safe. To launch this next innovation in our iconic chambord, we are celebrating by including a double bonus: our bpa free acrylic 15-ounce travel press and a bonus tumbler lid. The travel press is top shelf dishwasher safe, but for best results we recommend hand washing your travel press. Tip about french press: french press coffee is measured in 4-ounce-cups. So an 8-cup press is 1.0-liter, 34-ounce and will serve two to three people.French Presses
