The Brazil 51-ounce French press coffee maker incorporates the Bodum motto beautifully: good design doesn t have to be expensive. After all, we want to give everybody a chance to brew an excellent cup of coffee in the greenest way possible: just hot water and course ground coffee, steep for 4 minutes and press the plunger to stop the brewing process. No waste, just taste. The New Brazil is also available in a 12-ounce and 34-ounce size model. The French press comes in black, orange, purple, red, green, and white. Replacement carafes are available for purchase in all sizes. Dishwasher safe. The French press coffee maker is the simplest of all brewing systems, where coarsely ground beans meet hot water right off the boil. The right temperature (92?96 C, 195?205 F) brings the optimal extraction power for the essential oils in the beans to develop their full flavor profile in just four minutes. An easy press on the plunger locks the grinds at the bottom of the glass carafe and stops the brewing process.
