About the BISTRO NOUVEAU French Press coffee makerBodum's French Press brewing system, appreciated by coffee lovers worldwide, is celebrated for its ease of preparation and pure taste. And it all started with the BISTRO coffee maker in 1974. Decades later, we modernized and optimized this design and relaunched it as the BISTRO NOUVEAU French Press coffee maker. The BISTRO NOVEAU features a modern, minimalist design with a simple stainless steel band that runs around the carafe, accented by a black plastic lid and handle. The carafe is made of heat-resistant borosilicate glass, which will not change or affect the taste of your cup of coffee, while the stainless steel flask extracts the maximum flavor from your beans. This French Press coffee maker perfectly embodies our motto "Make taste, not waste". Get rid of plastic capsules, paper filters and the pitfalls of modern coffee preparation – the BISTRO NOUVEAU is as good for the environment as coffee is for your taste buds.

Place the BISTRO NOUVEAU on a flat surface, hold the handle tightly and pull the plunger up and out of the carafe. Add one heaping teaspoon or one bodum spoonful of coarsely ground coffee per cup or 120 ml of water. Pour hot water (about 92–96 ºC) into the carafe, leaving at least 2.5 cm of space at the top, and stir the coffee with a plastic or wooden spoon. Place the plunger on the jug and turn the lid so that the spout is closed to preserve the heat. Let it steep for four minutes, then slowly push down the plunger. Turn the lid to open the spout and pour yourself a delicious cup of coffee. Before first use, clean in warm soapy water and dry thoroughly.
