Product DescriptionWith the Bodum Chambord Coffee Maker Double Wall Glass technology, it keeps the excellently brewed coffee hot and aromatic for nearly two hours. A highly sophisticated production process leads to this stunning thermo effect. The inner beaker of the Chambord Coffee Maker is machine-blown whereas the outer beaker is mouth-blown perfecting the balance between insulation and product stability. It is made of stainless steel, heat-resistant borosilicate glass, plastic and non-slip rubber.
What Others Say
Just a matter of time before it breaks
I have to concur with the (Bodum stock holder?) review above, it is a cool looking pot which should impress your friends while it lasts. The real deal is that it is not a great performer when it comes to keeping your coffee warm for any length of time. As well, mine shattered while sitting on a (wood) table, 10 minutes after brewing a pot, with no real cause. Pop, shatter, that was it. It's your money. Good luck.
An intreaguing design with obvious flaws.
Upon purchasing my new Bodum double walled drip coffee maker, I was thoroughly impressed with its ability to make coffee, keep it warm, and interest guests. After a couple weeks of careful use, I went about my daily routine. After warming up the reservoir, I poured my coffee into the warmed reservoir (via instructions as I had every time). As I was sitting at my computer, about 10 minutes after the coffee had been prepared, I was startled by a loud "pop" and spent the next 10 minutes picking up glass, not drinking coffee. Being that I got the item for around $20, I am not too upset, though I would be thoroughly upset had I paid retail. I would not purchase this item again. Total p.o.s. in my opinion.
Really good coffee
I really like my new coffee pot it make really tasty coffee. My only gripe is the coffee gets cold fairly quickly unless you move it to a thermal carafe. Still better than burnt coffe anyday.
Would have been a nice item....
I would like to review the item itself but after receiving 3 broken Bistro's
Amazon e-mailed me that "the problem is more widespread than they thought"
I am a big fan of Bodum and really wanted this coffee maker but not now that I know how fragile they are.
Maybe Bodum will make a newer and thicker version later on. Then I will review the product.
Looks and design an A+ Quality and durability well you know the rest.
Kudo's to those of you that got one in one piece!
Fragile Funnel
My Bodum arrived intact despite Amazon's woeful packing. Everything came through the dishwasher intact. I was able to brew 3 times until a slight tap shattered the funnel. The coffee I was able to brew was weak- indeed as one person has pointed out, the funnel does not hold the water in the grounds long enough to properly brew. So now, for $20, I have a nice decanter. I can use it to pour coffee from a french press pot and reduce the sediment a bit. If I'd paid more, this would be going right back to Amazon. Such a disappointment from an otherwise great company- Bodum.
