Culinary Institute Gold Medal Winner for Best French Press Cafetiere. The classic Chambord French press coffee maker is the one that started it all. The Chambord continues to garner the highest praise from experts and consumers alike.

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.

Bodum 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.
