Its 12-cup capacity and patented safety lid make it perfect for entertaining or daily indulgence, while dishwasher-safe durability and a sleek chrome finish ensure it’s as practical as it is stylish. ## Description desertcart.com Most coffee roasters and tea buyers recommend using a coffee or tea press to enjoy the beverages at their best, but the devices have typically offered one major disadvantage--the brewed coffee or tea cooled quickly within the glass carafe. The Bodum Columbia thermal press overcomes this shortcoming with its double-walled stainless-steel construction, which insulates hot coffee or tea to keep it warm for up to two hours. The end result is a rich, flavorful beverage with perfectly extracted flavors and aromas. To use the Columbia press for coffee, grind fresh beans to a coarse consistency, add 2 tablespoons of coffee for every 6 ounces of water, then add hot water and brew for four to five minutes before plunging the press. Tea brews in the same manner, but with whole tea leaves instead. The press holds up to 48 ounces of liquid--enough for 12 small cups of coffee (4 ounces each)--and features Bodum's patented safety lid to keep the contents from spilling. For best results, users should dedicate the press to brewing one beverage only, as coffee and tea flavors tend to cross over when brewed separately in the same vessel. The Columbia coffee and tea press is dishwasher-safe. --Rivers Janssen Product Description The stainless steel design of the COLUMBIA French Press pairs utility with timeless elegance. It is easy to use too - just add fresh coarse ground coffee, fill with hot water, stir, place the lid on and wait for approximately 4 minutes. After this time, press and enjoy. Review: Happy Consumer - Mmmmmh...Smooth & Rich java. I read all the reviews on the 8 & 12 cup stainless steel models, plus all the reviews on the glass model. I put "French Press Coffee Maker" on my Christmas list, and based upon my inability to choose between the 8 & 12 cup stainless presses, Santa brought me both. Unbeknownst to me, my daughter got me the glass version...so now I have all 3! Although I thought the stainless models would be preferable for both their insulating & unbreakable properties, now that I have all 3, the glass model is my favorite, because it's gorgeous! The chrome plated stainless steel housing is gleaming, the glass has a clarity and delicacy that is just stunning, and overall it's lighter weight, and just plain more comfortable, in my opinion, for the feminine hand. Plus, you can see how the coffee is brewing (color) during the 4 minute brew process. The downsides of course are 1) probable eventual breakage of the glass carafe, but they're readily available, and easily replaceable, and 2) that there's no insulation...but French Pressed coffee (or any for that matter) is best consumed as immediately as possible. I love the stainless models too, because (of course) they do keep the coffee very warm and*or borderline hot, depending upon your individual interpretation of those terms, for at least 30 minutes to an hour, they're virtually unbreakable, and they are also stunningly beautiful...very contemporary, and at the same time, timeless in design. All 3 models come with a measuring scoop (8 cup models take about 8 level scoops, and produce about 3 large mugs of coffee, or perhaps 4 more conservatively sized (smaller) cups. The 12 cup model is 50 percent larger, so figure approx. 5 or 6 cups with the larger stainless model (good for company where you want to serve more people at once). I also got a very inexpensive Procter Silex electric kettle to super heat the water superfast, it works great! Also, Santa brought me the matching sugar & creamer set. It etails for $20 for the set, go ahead & splurge...you'll own your French Press for perhaps a lifetime, and the sugar*creamer set makes for a stunning table display. It matches perfectly with both the stainless and the glass models. Tips...water is supposed to be "just off the boil", and I found the electric kettle just perfect. Secondly, this is hot stuff, keep away from children's reach! Thirdly, after emptying the grinds, a simple rinsing and soft cloth drying is all that's needed after use. Lastly, you do need fresh ground coffee. Trust me on this. When you see and taste that delicious, smooth, cup'o'joe with a very fine oil slick on top (fresh oils from the freshly ground beans!), you'll never be happy with canned, drip brewed, stale coffee again! I find the French Presses equal in ease of use to my old Drip coffee maker (which, incidentally, is in perfect working order, and is now in the garbage). I'll post this review on all items mentioned (8 & 12 cup Stainless Steel French Presses, Glass Carafe French Press *called the "Chambord", and the matching sugar*creamer set. Happy shopping! Review: We love it! - We've used French Press coffee pots for years - the glass ones with plastic lids. I kept breaking the glass beaker. And, I love my coffee extremely hot, which resulted in a lot of needlessly thrown away coffee that was lukewarm. And along came this new stainless steel themal 12-cup (well, it's more like 6 cups for us, as we use big mugs) coffee press . . . well, I am a picky person, when it comes to preparing and drinking coffee, and I absolutely adore this thing! I love the fact that it goes into the dishwasher with no worries about breakage. I love that it keeps your coffee warm for a pretty darn long time (even hot enough for me!). I love how it looks, how it cleans up, how the plunger goes down smoothly and rarely leaves coffee grains in your cup. If I've got to find something to complain about, I will mention two things - but they hardly count because once you're aware of them, it's not a big deal to avoid their effects: 1. it's a good idea to make sure the arrow on the lid is pointing away from the pouring spout when the pot is sitting, as this keeps the heat in better; but do remember to turn the lid so the arrow is pointing at the pouring spout before trying to pour, or it will eventually backpour down the side of the pot. (but it's pretty easy to train yourself to do this) and 2. the lid gets pretty hot, so watch those tender fingers while turning the lid. I use the fingers with guitar calluses on them to do this, but you can always use a potholder or just do it real quick. I haven't found it to be so hot that it actually injures ya' anyway. OK, anyway. Love it; love it; love it. I do not regret spending the money. We've had this about a month now. ## Features - COFFEE PRESS: COLUMBIA coffee maker brews an excellent cup of coffee or tea within minutes, just add course ground coffee, hot water and press - INSULATED: Thermal coffee maker is made of double-wall, stainless steel construction to keep beverages hot for longer - STAINLESS STEEL: 3-part stainless steel plunger has a mesh filter that helps extract your coffee's aromatic oils and subtle flavors instead of being absorbed by a paper filter - DURABLE DESIGN: Coffee press features Bodum's patented safety lid to keep contents from spilling and is dishwasher safe for easy cleaning - SERVINGS: This premium coffee press holds 51 ounces, enough for 12 cups of coffee or tea, 4 oz each ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0000A8VUU | | Best Sellers Rank | #82,076 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) #282 in Coffee Makers | | Brand | Bodum | | Brand Name | Bodum | | Capacity | 3.2 Pounds | | Coffee Maker Type | French Press | | Color | Stainless Steel | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 4,219 Reviews | | Filter Type | Paper | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00727015322520 | | Human Interface Input | Touchscreen | | Included Components | Filter | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 8.8"D x 6.4"W x 8.4"H | | Item Type Name | French Press Coffee Maker | | Item Weight | 1.05 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Bodum | | Material | Silicone, Stainless Steel | | Model Name | Columbia | | Model Number | 1312-16 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Operation Mode | Manual | | Other Special Features of the Product | Thermal | | Product Dimensions | 8.8"D x 6.4"W x 8.4"H | | Recommended Uses For Product | Coffee and tea preparation, both indoor and outdoor activities | | Special Feature | Thermal | | Specific Uses For Product | Coffee maker | | Style | French | | UPC | 727015322520 732233430858 737946578590 727015898100 727015330839 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Bodum - **Capacity:** 3.2 Pounds - **Color:** Stainless Steel - **Product Dimensions:** 8.8"D x 6.4"W x 8.4"H - **Special Feature:** Thermal ## Images ![51 oz Columbia Thermal French Press Coffee Maker, Insulated Double Wall Stainless Steel, Chrome - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51p0ydSxXKL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: does it come with the monkey? I think I might need the monkey..** A: It depends: if you acknowledge and agree to all terms and conditions of the user agreement at the time of purchase, yes, it comes with a monkey ... That never goes away and then monkeys around with everything but your coffee. **Q: Is there any plastic inside the pot?** A: Yes. The lid and strainer that is attached to the lid have plastic parts. The actual pot is 100% metal.. **Q: Where is it made?** A: Sorry. Item is not marked other than Bodum and the designers name. Google Bodum products. Maybe you will find answer there. **Q: Does any part of it contain plastic? Even if it's the slightest bit I would like to know. Thank you** A: It has a rubber or plastic gasket around the outside edge of the screen press to insure a tight fit and containment of coffee grounds. Otherwise it is completely metal. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Happy Consumer *by A***S on December 26, 2005* Mmmmmh...Smooth & Rich java.

I haven't gone as far to roast my own, but I'm good for the moment. What I like about this french press is that it is unlikely to end up in broken glass anywhere. The plunger fits nicely, the outside shape is pleasing (note it is cylindrical inside so the pot looks far bigger than its actual capacity) and if you follow the directions, you get excellent coffee. I actually like the pinch of sediment - it gives some body to the coffee near the end. You can always leave the last sip. My perfect method, you can develop your own. 1) Get your coarse grind ready. The filter is fine enough to work with standard grinds too (not too fine or espresso) 2) Heat water to a rolling boil - Emsa perfect beaker in the microwave or a kettle, either way. Good bottled or filtered water. 3) As soon as the water's boiling, take the beaker or kettle off the heat, then open the pot, drop in the coffee. By now the 212 deg F water has cooled to below 205 (190-205 is about perfect, I believe) 4) Pour in the water, cover with the plunger extended all the way up and set your timer. 5) Right before the fourth minute, slowly push the plunger down. It will meet reistance at the surface of the coffee, so gently push it all the way down. I like to serve the coffee right away. I can't see it remaining hot for the claimed two hours, but I also worry about bitters from the grounds seeping into the coffee over time. When poured right away, the coffee is smooth enough to drink black even if you're a latte-with-sugar drinker. Few drip machines can measure up to this because you're in control of the water temperature, the brew time, and the separation from the grinds. It cleans easily - you could simply rinse off and be OK. I drop in hot water, a spot of dish soap and run the plunger down, rinse and dry. There are no grooves and crannies where coffee or soap can get stuck everything's smooth - like the coffee. No worries about breaking thin glass either. ## Frequently Bought Together - Bodum 51 oz Columbia Thermal French Press Coffee Maker, Insulated Double Wall Stainless Steel, Chrome - Cuisinart 1.7-Liter Stainless Steel Cordless Electric Kettle with 6 Preset Temperatures --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/1560847-51-oz-columbia-thermal-french-press-coffee-maker-insulated-double](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/1560847-51-oz-columbia-thermal-french-press-coffee-maker-insulated-double) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-09*
