(REAL NAME)
I have a perfectly good Cuisinart DCC-1200, but after spotting the 2000 at a local store I couldn't stop fiddling with the floor model. Well, my wife was lurking as I was fiddling and with my birthday coming up - and my affinity for coffee - she thought she'd found the perfect gift. Boy was she was right!

Now let's be honest, carafe-less designs have been around forever - Farberware's stainless steel coffee pots are staples in offices and at parties - they just haven't been this much fun. I'm not going to repeat everything that's already been written, but suffice to say the 2000 is a unique coffee maker. Does it make coffee better than my 1200 did? No, not really. But it does keep it hot longer, without the bitter, burnt taste that would often accompany the coffee from my 1200 when left on the warming plate for over 30 minutes. I normally have two cups every morning (not the puny 5-ounce "cups" that every coffee maker seems to think is the norm for whatever reason), but I've found myself having about three (maybe not a good thing?) since getting the 2000 because that third cup, about 1-1/2 hours later still tastes great. That wasn't happening with the 1200. Sometimes I'd try the third cup, but the burnt carafe taste made it unfortunate.

One of the complaints I'm reading here is that you need a separate container to fill the 2000. I can't be the only owner that owns a Pyrex 2-cup (or more) measuring cup can I? I just fill it up once, twice - gasp! - three times and pour it in while watching the water level on the side. Honestly, it's not that hard. Cleaning is no different from any model with a carafe. But instead of washing the outer carafe you remove the inner "carafe" to rinse it out or give it a thorough cleaning. That's the only difference. The coffee gauge is kind of silly and inaccurate and I rarely ever look at it, but it adds to the allure of the 2000.

I'll be keeping my 1200 at the ready for my sister to use when she comes over to make her dreadful flavored coffees so they don't contaminate my new toy. But until the next great design advance comes along to which I can't say "no," I'll be enjoying the 2000 to the fullest. It's neat, it's fun and it makes great coffee.

As the only coffee-drinker in my house I had originally bought a Bodum Chambord 1923 3-Cup Coffee Maker. Unfortunately, the glass container cracked within a few months. Because I loved the Bodum so much, I looked to see if there was a mostly-plastic model. Indeed there is and I bought the Brazil 8 Cup Unbreakable coffee press.

What you get
What you see is what you get. The Bodum Brazil press comes boxed including the beaker, press and instructions. All this cost around $20. Currently, Amazon lists the 8 Cup Unbreakable model as “unavailable”. The smaller, 3 Cup version is available. Checking the bodumusa web site, there is a possibility Bodum no longer makes the 8 Cup Unbreakable Version. The standard glass beaker is being sold in 8 Cup. According to the Bodum site, their products “are available at fine Kitchen and Specialty stores throughout the US and Canada”.

You should know that Bodum’s cup-size is not what most Americans would call a cup of joe. For Bodum 1 cup = 4 oz. So “8 cups” is more like 3 or 4 depending on the mug. I’m assuming this has to do with European coffee serving sizes, but could not verify this.

How to use
Once you’ve given your French press an initial cleaning, you are ready to make some java. You will need 1) boiling hot water; therefore probably a teapot, and 2) coarsely ground coffee. For each cup of coffee you want to brew, add one well-rounded scoop of coffee to the press (after removing the plunger). Then add the appropriate amount of boiling water (carefully) to the beaker. My first few times, I measured the hot water into my mug first and then to the beaker. Insert the plunger, but do not depress. Let the coffee brew for at least five minutes. Then slowly depress the plunger as far down as it will go. All the grounds are now trapped under the filter and you are ready to pour.

Me like fresh coffee
I love the flavor the Bodum French Press gives me. I can get coffeehouse flavor at home, cheaply. A good way to enhance this experience is to invest in a quality grinder. If your beans are fresh, then grinding right before brewing really skyrockets the flavor.

The lack of heat from the press itself may be prohibitive in some cases. If you’ve made yourself two cups, by the time you finish your first the second may be lukewarm. I don’t mind nuking for reheating. I personally don’t taste any difference. But this is obviously not the best option for an office, for example, where you want to keep a pot warm for whoever may come by next. But at home, I suppose a thermos might be useful.

I also love that the Unbreakable version is 100% dishwasher safe. This model has lasted me over 4 years! And it’s relatively small size allows me to store it away and get one more thing OFF my countertop.

The Bodum Brazil French Press Coffee Maker has really been a great value that I highly recommend giving a try.
