Bodum Kenya French Press, a manual coffee maker that uses a full-immersion brewing method to produce a rich, full-bodied cup of coffee
This specific model has a 0.5 L (17 oz) capacity, which is designed for approximately 4 cups (standard coffee cup measurements are typically 4 oz).

How to Use Your French PressTo brew the perfect cup, follow these standard steps:Prep: Place the pot on a flat, non-slip surface and pull the plunger straight out.Add Coffee: Use coarse ground coffee to prevent the filter from clogging. Add one rounded tablespoon or one Bodum scoop per 4 oz of water.Add Water: Pour hot (not boiling, ideally 195–205°F) water into the pot, leaving at least 1 inch of space at the top. Stir gently with a plastic or wooden spoon to avoid scratching the glass.Steep: Place the plunger on top with the lid closed to trap heat, but do not press down yet. Let it brew for 4 minutes.Press: Hold the handle firmly and slowly apply slight pressure to lower the plunger straight down.Serve: Turn the lid to open the spout and pour immediately to prevent the coffee from becoming bitter.Care and MaintenanceCleaning: The glass beaker and filter assembly are generally dishwasher safe. For best results, unscrew the filter assembly to clean between the mesh layers after each use.Replacement Parts: If the glass beaker is ever chipped or cracked, it should be replaced before further use to avoid breakage
