Bodum Brazil 8-Cup French Press Coffee Maker w/ Glass Carafe + 2 Bodum Glass Mugs (red) $20 + Free Shipping

Thanks, I have a smaller press already, but could always use another

Its been said already, but can't emphasize enough that you need to use a more course ground coffee, otherwise you'll have chewing on a few grinds!

If too lazy to grind your own coffee, I find that Archer Farms (Target brand) coffee works great and has a great variety.

Quote from lonestarnight : FWIW, this is a decent price for this coffee press, but not a great price. I bought one for myself at X-mas for about $17 from buydig (it was on slickdeals), which my son promptly dropped and broke. So I bought another one from Target for about $18 with the redcard discount and free shipping. Target seems to be slightly more expensive on this model right now (maybe $19 with the discount?). Of course, it's a better deal if you value the cups. But what the heck are you going to use them for? They don't seem like good cups for coffee.

Since I am almost $10 Target GC for Shopkick app, I may get the French Press at Target instead. I don't need the cups. Thanks for the info.

Quote from BPD007 : THE BEST Take it from an Italian coffee snob like myself It takes some tries but once you find your proper grind, amount of water and timing, it's the BEST. These are good french presses and I approve of this deal *two thumbs up* Feel free to ask me any questions on french pressing!

Thanks for replying to my question. I am not really picky about coffee. Actually, my favorite coffee is Speedway's house blend.

Can I just use regular coffee from package bought at grocery store to use in French Press? How many teaspoonful of coffee do I need to put in it for one cup of coffee 8 oz)? Also, how long do I need to steep?

Quote from BPD007 : If anyone is wondering, I use 3 tablespoon scoops of beans per 8-10oz cup of coffee from a French Press, depending how strong you want it. Grind it coarsely and put in French press. Boil water then WAIT 1 minute pour the water into the press, lightly stir for about 1-2 swirls set timer for 4 minutes. Then press when time is up. Do not leave coffee in there because the grinds are still in there.

Oh, I see you have already posted how to make coffee with the French press. Thanks so much. That was very helpful.

Thanks! This was really helpful

Quote from DrClaw : Just ordered it. Great deal. Was worried was too big for individual use and was still going to get it and just use less water but this shld work out perfectly for a single person or two "american" sized cups. thx

yes it's great for 2 cups, 16 oz+

I am one person and use mine all the time.

Do NOT use ground coffee in a french press. The grind are too fine and will actually probably get through the filter.

You need COARSE coffee. If you must buy the coffee ground, buy the beans and grind them on the coarse(french press) setting. Starbucks will do it. Grocery store with the machines will let you do it. I think Dunkins will as well but I hate their coffee.

Keep your beans/grinds in a airtight/dark container. it's more important it's airtight than dark really. But both help.

I hope you all enjoy your coffee as much as I do!

Quote from Demonoid89 : who's got a good deal for a burr grinder?

Burr grinders are expensive. Expect to pay anywhere from $65-$300.

You can find good ones around $100
I got this one for $80 on Dec 29, 2011. The price his higher now, no idea why:
Bodum Burr Grinder [amazon.com]

This Capresso [amazon.com]one is priced less and good reviews

It's only a deal because of the glasses but I'm skeptical that the deal includes 2 12oz glasses. Seems like it may be an error.

Bah, I thought these were the double wall mugs at first. Still an okay deal, but I have no need for these cups. Still not a bad deal though. My current french press cracked, so I need to replace it, but I'm still recovering from Xmas.

It's not an error. I see them sold together often.

And it clearly states in the description, 2 cups.

Just take a screenshot before ordering and if you only get the press tell them. Bodum is pretty good about that.

I really don't think this is an error.

Oh! Ok. Thanks for letting me know about coarse grind. Without you, I would have made a huge mistake!
