Bodum 8 cup French Press Coffee Maker

Bodum 8 cup French Press Coffee Maker for $19.74 + free shipping

Great French press that makes great coffee. Step away from the drip world and you'll be surprised at the difference.

Bought one of these last month, use it everyday since I got it!

$19.99 is the normal price, around $17 is the low end.

"Coffee is measured in 4 ounces. cups"
Little small for me :(

I bought this exact model at Target last week (because some scumbag stole my previous french press - grrrrrr.....). I'm quite happy with it. Locally, with tax, it was $21.09, so not much of a deal. However, since it's such a nice little unit, I'd recommend you do something nice for yourself and buy one.

An inexpensive ceramic burr grinder would be a welcome companion.

It's also nice that it comes in the frustration-free packaging, but really not a deal.

I've been using the single-cup version of this for about a year and a half, still working great. I do NOT take good care of it, always leave the grounds there til the next day... I bought a second one for work.

Little tip, for some reason it doesn't seem to like dish washing soap, so I never actually wash it, just rinse it well. After the first Palmolive, the metal mesh's edges, which are supposed to stay curved upward, began to catch on the glass on the up-pull, causing the mesh to turn inside-out. I think dishwashing soap eats away at the glass just enough to make it less smooth (on a microscopic level).

I tossed my Bodum and Bonjour glass presses and a lexan camping press after I purchased this: www.aeropress.com
No more grounds in the coffee, unbreakable and travels everywhere I do.

$12.99 at IKEA, as long as you don't mine the "import". Even with sales tax it's less money. Oh, and did I mention it's the "3 real cup" size?

@jordan711: Where did you see the bit about the cups being 4 ounces?

I rc'd one of these presses as a gift, and was ticked to find out it wasn't really 8 cups. It's 4 cups. I measured twice to be sure. I went to the store to complain, and learned similar presses also used the 4 oz. cup standard. WTH? How are they getting away with lying to everyone? What's to stop this from spreading to other products? Imagine going to the gas station and paying twice what you expect for a fill up. You complain, and are then directed to small print somewhere on the pump: "Gasoline is measured using 64 fluid ounces per gallon."

What would be the difference? The coffee makers measurements are NOT standard, because they are not used by anyone else. 8 fl. oz. is the standard cup equivalent in the U.S. I call BS and false advertising.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
