Bistro Nouveau Coffee Maker 12 Cup, 1.5L/51oz - Black

Adored by coffee aficionados worldwide, Bodum’s French press brewing system is celebrated for its simplicity of brewing and purity of taste. And it all started with the BISTRO French press in 1974. Decades later, we’ve modernized and streamlined this design, relaunching it as the BISTRO NOUVEAU French press coffee maker.

The BISTRO NOUVEAU has a modern minimalist style with a simple stainless steel band circling the carafe, accented with a black plastic lid and handle. The carafe is crafted from heat-resistant borosilicate glass that won’t alter or impair the flavor of your delicious cup of joe, while the stainless steel plunger extracts maximum taste from your beans.

In true Bodum style, this French press coffee maker is all taste and zero waste. Free from plastic capsules, paper filters and the trappings of modern coffee brewing, the BISTRO NOUVEAU is as good for the environment as its coffee is to your taste buds.

Use & Care

The French press system is the simplest way to brew rich, flavorful coffee.

2. Add one rounded teaspoon or one Bodum scoop of coarsely ground coffee for each cup/4oz water.
3. Pour hot water into the carafe (about 92-96ºC) leaving a minimum of 2.5cm/1inch at the top, and stir with a plastic or wooden spoon.
4. Place the plunger unit on top of the pot and turn the lid so the pour spout is closed to retain the heat.
5. Leave four minutes to brew, then slowly lower the plunger. Turn the lid to open the pour spout and pour your delicious cup of joe.
6. Wash in warm, soapy water before first use and dry thoroughly. All parts are dishwasher safe.
