The enduring Chambord French press coffee maker from Bodum is a true original. This latest update adds some additional practicality to classic design; with a new lid offers spill-proof use and better temperature control. The steel frame and lid undergo several chrome plating processes to obtain a durable shiny surface that will last for many years of intense use. The only difference in the production process since the original design is Bodum's commitment to the highest standards of environmentally correct manufacturing, which is especially important during the chrome plating process.
