Discover the art of the perfect brew with the CHAMBORD French press coffee maker - now with an innovative, locking-lid feature that closes off the spout, making it spill-proof and improving insulation for even better temperature control. An icon of Bodum, the CHAMBORD is synonymous with the Bodum name. The original design dates back to the pre-war period when the Italian Attilo Calimani developed the basic principle. Bodum founder, Jørgen Bodum, began work on his version of the French press in the 1970s, but it was the acquisition of Melior-Martin in 1991 – a company that produced a dome-shaped French press – that led to the development of the classic CHAMBORD we know and love today. A true original, the CHAMBORD keeps evolving through timeless design and superior craftsmanship, consistently providing what the French press is known for: simplicity of brewing, purity of taste, and environmental responsibility - epitomizing Bodum's core belief that we should ‘make taste, not waste'.
