Review of Bodum Shin Bistro 12-Ounce Coffee Press

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this french press because I found myself making coffee just for myself rather than two or three people.Bodum did a great job making this press both functionally and aesthetically.The Shin Bistro is simple yet stylish.Minimal use of plastic makes this press look slick and tidy.I really like the actual press part that Bodum has made for this particular press.This press has the same type of set up for the press, a bottom, the wire mesh screen and then the top with wiring and holes to allow the coffee through.All the pieces align well, the plunger is screwed tightly to the rod.I have found that pushing down the plunger is easy and does not create a mess.

I imagine that since this press does not have a stand like the Chambord that this press requires more careful handling.I recommend using a coaster after pouring in the hot water to avoid damaging the countertop.

Overall this press performs amazingly well and can make a great cup of coffee.It has not yet let grounds pass through the press so there is very little sediment in the cup.Play around with grind size, I talked with my local roaster and he said that course grind works well but if you want a better tasting cup of coffee go with a medium size grind and plunge the press slowly and evenly.I am pleased with Bodum's line of French presses.
