Cast Aside Your Burdens and Taste a Piece of Heaven!, May 16, 2009
By J. Wactor (Tucson, AZ) - See all my reviews


It was the winter of 2008 and I was stationed in Camp Taji, Iraq. While I slept comfortably in my tent, a nameless entity infiltrated the battalion tactical operations center (TOC) and discarded a vital piece of my drip coffee maker away, thus rendering it less than useless. It was a cunning and ruthless tactic meant to demoralize the Coalition Forces and send us back to the states dejected and caffeine deprived, and could have worked, had it not been for the reinforcements of the Bodum Chambord Coffee Press.

Whereas I'd originally believed French Press aficionados to be prissy and stuck-up with too much free time on their hands, I've come to understand that perhaps I merely have been too addicted to coffee to logically consider that 8 oz. of coffee may be all I need for one day, and such small quantities can be crafted carefully instead of brewed in bulk. You are talking to the person who until recently drank around 40oz. of coffee daily; I had no time or patience to skillfully brew small quantities of French-Press coffee. It was an absurd thought, one that I never thought I'd entertain, but this little French-Press coffeemaker has transformed an addiction of coffee into a genuine admiration and enjoyment for the art of coffee making.

Combined with an exquisite choice of beans this coffee maker will simply revolutionize a coffee drinker's taste buds. Each cup of coffee will ease the burdens of your proletariat lifestyle; no longer will you be forced to drink Victory Coffee all the days of your life. With this little baby you will drink from the fountains of the bourgeoisie and know emphatically that life really can be THAT GOOD.

But seriously, buy this French-Press maker. I will never drink another cup of drip coffee again, and neither will most of the coworkers I've shared my brews with. It's heavenly.
