The secret to a perfect cup of coffee includes the right water temperature, the quality and freshness of the beans, plus the degree of roasting and the fineness of the grind.
In addition, having the ground coffee's surface area in contact with the surrounding water for adequate time to extract just the right amount of aromatic oils and flavor components will determine the cup quality. French Press Coffee Making is a great way to make coffee that ensures the correct temperature and duration for the coffee to be in contact with the water. Reaching the full profile desired from the beans is what great coffee making is all about and what provides a great deal of satisfaction to coffee lovers.
Some of the most popular brands of French Press coffee makers include Bodum, BonJour, Frieling, Chef's Choice, and La Cafetière.
Bodum is a family owned company from Copenhagen, Denmark. The company's original marketing positioning was to develop functional, high quality, affordable and uniquely designed products. The founder, Peter Bodum, designed the vacuum coffee maker called Santos. This coffee maker was internationally recognized for its unique and functional design for more than 20 years, from the 1950's to the 1970's.
In 1975, Bodum introduced its own first coffee press called Bristro which gained international recognition as one of the most environmentally friendly coffee making devices in the world. With more than 100 million French coffee presses and over 30 million teapots sold since 1974, it is obvious that Bodum is a dominant player in the market with a growing and loyal customer base.
