Bodum Arabica Thermal Stainless Steel 8 Cup Coffee Press, 34-Ounce


Drip! Drip! Drip!
I was thrilled to find this pot. It is beautiful, and it keeps the coffee warm. However, I can't put it on the table. It drips so much when I pour that I can only pour over the sink. I had forgotten, until I tried to use the pot that 6 or 7 years ago I bought the same pot and had to return it because of the same defect. What a mess it makes. I would have thought that in all this time Bodum could have corrected this problem.
Not really "thermal" but better than glass
This Press is beautiful, but it does have some issues. The spout is small, so the first pour tends to dribble, unless you are very very careful. The lid is plastic! It's not very "thermal." I must continue to use a cover for the pot, so its beauty is lost. My son's Thermos/Nissan is not so beautiful, much less expensive, but is actually thermal - the outside of the press stays cool proving that the inside is hot.
Other features: The non-slip bottom is very non-slip;, you can not slide it along a tray or tablecloth. The filter is excellent - a fine mesh that keeps the grounds down where they belong.
Bodum Arabica Coffee Press
This is the perfect press-style coffee maker. No more broken glass beakers to break or chip! The thermal liner keeps the coffee warm. The sleek design is attractive and the handle is securely attached. The only area for improvement is the spout. There's a slight drip when pouring the first cup. Excellent for boats or places where glass beakers are a challenge. And it makes great coffee!
