When it comes to brewing coffee, manual methods are more popular than ever—if we can consider pressing down the plunger as manual work. With our coffee makers, the coffee beans unleash their fullest aroma. It’s no surprise that manual coffee makers are the favorite method among coffee enthusiasts. The simplest way to a good cup of coffee: coarsely ground coffee, hot water, let it steep for 4 minutes, and press down the plunger. The latest generation of the Chambord features a folding mechanism in the lid that keeps the coffee maker sealed—should it ever tip over. The Chambord is made of borosilicate glass, plastic, silicone, and either chrome-plated or gold-plated steel.
