I’ve been using a standard glass Bodum Coffee Press for years now to make the morning coffee. But the sleek lines of their Columbia Stainless Steel line caught my eye the other day. This french press style coffee Bodum is interesting because you also can use it as a warming thermos - supposedly the coffee or tea you brew in itwill stay hot for 2 hours. It’s definitely elegant in appearance with the mirror finish, but I am really curious about whether it will really keep your brew hot for that long. It seems an awful long time and a little too good to be true. I read a few reviews that say that it seems to keep it hot for more like 45 minutes to 1 hour. The lid on the coffeemaker is supposed to keep in the heat. You turn the lid in order to seal the vacuum pot. The pot holds 34 ounces or about 1 liter of liquid.
