Overview
A kitchen counter or office desk with room for a small jug suits this Bodum Kenya press. You steep ground coffee in the borosilicate glass carafe, then push the stainless steel filter down to hold the grounds at the bottom before pouring.
Small batches brewed by hand, with no paper filters to buy, make the Kenya easy to live with. Glass breaks if knocked and does not hold heat, and the small jug means a second brew for a group.
Who it's for
Morning coffee for one or two people at home or at work, with ground coffee and a kettle on hand. Large households and anyone who wants the pot warm through the morning are better served by a bigger insulated press.
Pros and cons
- Heat resistant borosilicate glass jug
- Reusable stainless steel filter parts
- Light and compact for a desk
- No power or paper filters needed
- Glass jug can break if dropped
- Small batch size for groups
- Uninsulated, coffee cools in the jug
- Dishwasher safety not listed
Performance notes
Flavor depends on grind size and steep time, since the mesh filter presses grounds down rather than trapping fine particles the way paper does. Freshly ground coffee leaves less sediment, as the description notes. The thin glass loses heat quickly, so pour the brew right after plunging.
