# Chambord French Press

> Borosilicate glass beaker, chrome-plated stainless steel frame with curved feet, matte polypropylene handle that stays cool while everything else is hot. Named after the Château de Chambord on the Loire. The domed lid echoes the castle's towers. The design dates to the 1950s in France, originally made by a company called Melior-Martin. Bodum acquired them in 1991 and has been producing the Chambord in its own factory in Portugal ever since, the same process updated only for environmental standards. Four minutes, coarse grounds, hot water, press. No paper filter, no electricity. Everything disassembles for cleaning or replacement, which is why the same one tends to last until someone drops it on a tile floor. Even then, a new beaker costs about as much as a bag of beans.
