Fall Coffee Preview - French Press Style

The French Press market has become pretty crowded lately with a number of design updates to this most utilitarian of coffee-related housewares.  The technology behind the french press is simple, place coffee bean in water to steep with the help of a plunger and you are able to make coffee that is not scalded by boiling hot water. 


Bodum Chambord French Press
BODUM earlier this year introduced the French Press Ice Coffee Maker and added Chrome and Gold to its line of CHAMBORD french presses.  Adding a bit of spunk to the design, the company has also launched the EILEEN, a french press originally created in to honor the avant-garde furniture designer and architect Eileen Grey.  Using geometric forms, the collection pays homage to her signature style.  Eileen French Press retails for US $29.95,
