When Bodum took over a small clarinet factory in Normandy in
1982. It was not because of the fine orchestra clarinets they were producing but
because of a relatively unknown coffee maker called the Chambord which they, by
coincidence, produced as well.
We combined the skills of these Normandy craftsmen with modern production, and
the price became affordable to the many people who loved the taste of the coffee
brewed in this unique coffee maker, later known as the French press coffee
brewer. Thanks to Bodum and thanks to the increasing need for better coffee, the
French press coffee maker became one of the most popular coffeemakers in the
world. The design has not changed a bit from the original drawings, and they
still make the Chambord with the same painstaking care and knowledge we learned
from those proud craftsmen in windy Normandy.
The delicious smell and taste of French roasted dark coffee and the ease of
brewing have not changed: coffee, water, press, enjoy.
New: The Chambord now comes with an unbreakable polycarbonate beaker.
