Synopsis: Make great tasting coffee with the Bodum French Press. Step by Step instructions as indicated in the user manual.
User Instructions for Bodum French Presses
1. Place pot on a dry, flat, non-slip surface. Hold handle firmly, then pull the plunger unit straight up and out of the pot. 2. For each 1.25 dl, 4 oz cup, put 1 rounded tablespoon or 1 BODUM scoop of coarse ground coffee into the pot. CAUTION: Use only coarse ground coffee. Fine grind can clog the filter and create high pressure. Place coffee maker on a heat proof, non-slip surface. 3. Pour hot (not boiling) water into the pot. Leave a minimum of 2.5 cm, 1 inch of space at the top. Stir the brew with a plastic spoon. CAUTION: Metal spoons can scratch or chip the glass beaker and cause breakage. 4. Place the plunger unit on top of the pot. Turn the lid to close off the pour spout opening (does not apply to the Brazil models). Do not press down. Let the coffee brew for at least 4 minutes. 5. Hold the pot handle firmly with the spout turned away from you, then using just the weight of your hand, apply slight pressure on top of the knob to lower the plunger straight down into the pot. Lowering the plunger slowly with minimal pressure produces best results. If the filter clogs or it becomes difficult to push down the plunger you should remove the plunger from the pot, stir the brew and then slowly plunge again. WARNING: Using excessive force can cause scalding liquid to shoot out of the pot. 6. Turn the lid to open the pour spout and then pour coffee. 7. Unscrew the filter assembly and clean the plunger unit after each use. All parts are dishwasher safe. 8. Scald Hazard:
Excessive plunging force can cause scalding hot liquid to shoot out of pot.
Do not plunge with force.
Turn lid to close spout.
Use only coarse ground coffee.
Safety Instructions:
Not for stove top use.
Check glass beaker for scratches, cracks or chips. Do not use a pot which is scratched, chipped or cracked. Install a replacement beaker before using the pot again.
Keep children away while using. Hot water is a hazard to small children!
Do not allow children to use this coffee maker.

The black plastic frame aound the glass has moved making it almost impossible to pour through the plunger spout. Is there a safe way to slide it back in place? I do not want to apply too much pressure
Espresso Planet comments: The glasses are removable - there should be no problem re-aligning it however you like.

Bernie, the issue is in using a metal spoon for stirring in a glass press (risking breakage). You are fine using a stainless steel press. We will be shooting our own video soon that will be more clear than this one.

I have acquired a Bodum coffee maker that was designed by C. Jorgensen.
It is made from Stainless Steel and weighs about 21/2 pounds. Per some of the comments on your website, metal anything is never supposed to come into contact with the brewing coffee???? Is this true, or important??
Oh boy, I just now read the above instructions.

Thanks Dan, thank you for pointing this out. Yes indeed, don't use a metal spoon as shown in the video.

You used a metal spoon for stirring. That is a no-no. It even is printed on the exact Bodum you are using!
Thank you for all your patience and help with my coffee maker purchase, I know this has been as frustrating for you as it has me but your customer service is second to none. When I got home yesterday I had a nice surprise.
Sincere thanks Richard
