Bodum Young Press 34-Ounce Coffee Press, Black with Red Trim discount prices 10096-364,727015688886,B000KA1D3I,

1. Place pot on a dry, flat, nonslip surface. Hold handle firmly, then pull the plunger straight up and out of the pot.

2. For each 1.25-deciliter/4-ounce cup, put 1 rounded tablespoon or 1 Bodum scoop of coarse-ground coffee into the pot.

Caution: Use only coarse-ground coffee. Fine grind can clog the filter and create high pressure. Place coffee maker on a heatproof, nonslip surface.

3. Pour hot (not boiling) water into the pot. Leave a minimum of 2.5 centimeters/1 inch of space at the top. Stir the brew with a plastic spoon.

Caution: Metal spoons can scratch or chip the glass beaker and cause breakage.

4. Place the plunger unit on top of the pot. Turn lid to close off the pour spout opening. (Does not apply to the Brazil models.) Do not press down. Let the coffee brew for at least 4 minutes.

5. Hold the pot handle firmly, with the spout turned away from you, then using just the weight of your hand, apply slight pressure on top of the knob to lower the plunger straight down into the pot. Lowering the plunger slowly with minimal pressure produces best results. If the filter clogs or it becomes difficult to push down the plunger you should remove the plunger from the pot, stir the brew, and then slowly plunge again.

WARNING: Using excessive force can cause scalding liquid to shoot out of the pot.

6. Turn the lid to open the pour spout and then pour coffee.

7. Unscrew the filter assembly and clean the plunger unit after each use. All parts are dishwasher-safe.

Company History

In 1944 Peter Bodum, the father of today's owner, Joergen Bodum, started Bodum in Copenhagen. Times were difficult at the end of World War II; there was hardly any trade and people were out of work. Peter Bodum managed to wholesale a very small variety of housewares products by Danish manufacturers.

After the war Peter Bodum got an import license for kitchen and tabletop products; he traveled all over Europe and ended up importing kitchen and housewares to Denmark. As in the rest of Europe in those days, a lack of products in Denmark meant a market existed for almost anything to be sold. He specialized in glassware from Eastern Europe.

In the '50s Peter Bodum started developing his own products. He collaborated with the Danish architect Kaas Klaeson for a range of coffeemakers. At the time, industrial-design-type kitchen products were very rare. The first Bodum product to hit the market in 1958 was the Santos coffeemaker--based on a vacuum coffee brewing system. It became an instant sensation not only in Denmark but in all of Europe. Bodum still produces the original Santos design to this very day.

Bodum grew steadily during the '60s, but sadly, in 1967, at the age of only 57, Peter Bodum passed away. His wife managed the company until 1974, when she offered her 26-year-old son Joergen to join her in the management of the company. Joergen quickly brought on board Carsten Joergensen--then a teacher at the Danish School of Art in Copenhagen--and soon put him in charge of overall design for Bodum, including everything from products to corporate design, exhibitions, shops, buildings, catalogs, and advertising. It turned out to be a very long and fruitful collaboration. The two men began to fulfill Bodum's credo--'good design doesn't have to be expensive'--in lots of different ways.

In 1974 the first fruit of Joergen and Carsten's collaboration was introduced: the French coffee press Bistro. It was also the first incorporation of the new Bodum design language--beautiful simplicity and excellent materials for everyday life. Many more variations of coffee presses followed. Since 1974 Bodum has produced over 50 million French presses, taken the leap from 'coffee' to 'kitchen,' and developed and produced a large variety of beautiful household and tabletop designs.

In 1979, when he took over the company, Joergen Bodum decided to move to Switzerland in order to be more centrally located in Europe. He chose the Lucerne area, where Bodum's head office has been located since the early '80s.

In 1980 Bodum Switzerland and its design unit, Pi-Design, were founded. Then, in 1986, the opening of Bodum's first shop in London marked another milestone in the Bodum history. It was designed not only to be the perfect showcase for the large variety of Bodum products but to embody an even stronger presentation of Bodum as an international brand. Many more shops in many more cities all over the world followed: Paris, Copenhagen, Zurich, Lucerne, Tokyo, New York, Dallas, Okinawa, Auckland, and many more. To this day there are 52 Bodum stores worldwide.

With more and more of its own stores in place, Bodum continued broadening its collection of beautifully designed everyday life products--from kitchen to home. Today Bodum offers its customers everything from the latest coffee- and tea-making products to tabletop, kitchen, storage, textiles, bathroom, and home office products. Some stores also have a café where Bodum's own selection of coffees and teas are served.

The Bodum Group is, and always has been, a 100 percent family-owned business. Today the company operates in 14 different countries with over 700 employees worldwide. Bodum has holding companies in Denmark and Switzerland as well as 12 sales companies, 3 production companies, and a design company called Bodum Design Group, located in Switzerland.

An instant success, the Young Press has brought out the “kid” in many coffee lovers. Originally designed to add a younger, “hip” look to the Bodum assortment of coffee makers, the Young Press has stolen the hearts of coffee lovers from all age groups. The design is unique. We have taken our durable, heat-resistant borosilicate glass beaker and surrounded it with a santoprene (similar to a rubber or hard wetsuit type feel) frame. The frame has built in polycarbonate windows so that you can still see the brewing process.

Customer Reviews for: Bodum Young Press 34-Ounce Coffee Press, Black with Red Trim

- We're back to the press
We've had the Bodum Young 34 ounce coffee press for about a month (after being without one for about a year) and find it really serviceable. It makes just about enough coffee for the two of us and the carafe holder keeps it warm for a sufficient amount of time. I also feel like the sleeve protects the glass carafe since that is always the weak link in the whole system. It took us a few attempts to get the right amount of coffee grounds to use to get our desired strength of coffee, but once we figured that out it's been great.

- What's Up?
So far, I am not in luv with it. This is my first coffee press maybe I need time to get use to it.

- Love this press!
This is my second press, and my first by Bodum. I love it! I have had it for over a year now, and it's still as good as new. It comes apart easily to run through the dishwasher, and it is easy to reassemble, too. The frame helps keep it hot much longer than my previous press, which had no insulation. The Pyrex flask is durable and withstands heat well. One comment--it is very important to prewarm the flask before brewing the coffee; adding boiling or near-boiling water to a cold flask, even tempered glass, can cause it to shatter. If nothing else, it can reduce its lifespan. But with a little care, it should last you many ... Read More

Product Description

The Young Press was designed by the Bodum Design Group to develop a modern yet functional coffee press that delivers top quality coffee and can be used in a variety of environments. The durable frame is made of santoprene material and the windows are made of clear polycarbonate. These 2 layers form a protective skin around the glass beaker that helps prevent breakage. The glass beaker can easily be removed for cleaning and placement in the dishwasher. The Young Press' frame also assists in keeping the coffee hot longer while insuring that the body of the press remains cool to the touch and is safe to set on most surfaces.

A hip little vessel with a time-tested design, the Young press from Bodum makes great coffee without paper filters, power cords, or complicated procedures. The stylish black and red design nests a borosilicate glass beaker inside a hard rubber frame with polycarbonate windows to show off coffee colors. Just add hot water and grounds, wait a few minutes, and plunge the filter. A fine screen presses the grounds to the bottom while leaving the beans' oil in the brew, so coffee is easy to pour and delicious to drink. Meanwhile, you avoid the extra step, cost, and waste of paper filters. Safe in the dishwasher, the press holds 34 ounces. Replacement beakers are available separately should breakage occur. --Emily Bedard
