When Bodum took over a small clarinet factory in Normandy it was not because of the fine orchestra clarinets they were producing but because of a relatively unknown coffee maker called the Chambord which they, by coincidence, produced as well. Bodum combined the skills of those Normandy craftsmen with modern production, and the price became affordable to the many people who loved the taste of the coffee brewed in this unique coffee maker, later known as the French press coffee brewer. Thanks to Bodum and thanks to the increasing need for better coffee, the French press coffee maker became one of the most popular coffeemakers in the world. The design has not changed a bit from the original drawings, and they still make the Chambord with the same painstaking care and knowledge learned from those proud craftsmen in windy Normandy. The ease of brewing... the delicious smell and taste of French roasted dark coffee have not changed. |
