What customers say
Customers highly value the Bodum Columbia for its superior durability and excellent heat retention, stemming from its robust double wall stainless steel construction.

Its sleek, modern aesthetic is also frequently commended, positioning this press as a premium, highly recommended brewing solution.
Know before you buy
Bodum uses European cup measurements, where one cup equals approximately 4 ounces. This means the 8-cup model has a total capacity of about 32 ounces, which is enough for roughly four standard 8-ounce mugs of coffee.
The double-wall stainless steel design is engineered to provide thermal insulation that keeps your coffee or tea hot for up to two hours. This is significantly longer than standard glass French presses, which lose heat almost immediately.
Yes, the plunger features a silicone and mesh design that creates a tighter seal against the walls of the carafe. This provides more complete filtration than traditional mesh-only plungers, resulting in a cleaner cup with noticeably less grit.
Yes, the Bodum Columbia is fully dishwasher safe. Because it is constructed from durable stainless steel rather than glass, you do not need to worry about breakage during the cleaning process.
The proprietary safety lid is designed to lock into place and control the flow of liquid. While it is not a leak-proof travel mug lid, it is highly effective at preventing accidental splashes and spills while you are pouring your coffee.
