Best cafetiere

[higgle]

My Bodum cafetiere has never been much good and now the working bits come unscrewed and let the grounds through all the time. Can anyone recommend a good quality large replacement that actually makes coffee that is not full of bits of gunk and is easy to clean without it falling to bits?

[PigletJohn]

what happens when you screw it back together after washing the gauze?

You can get replacement bits for bodum. Debenhams own brand is similar. Other makes seem to have plated plastic tops rather than metal.

Try an aeropress. Loads better than a cafetiere IMO.

Aeropress looks good, but I want to make a jog of coffee not just one cup.

[GoingToBedfordshire]

Fair enough!

This www.johnlewis.com/john-lewis-double-wall-coffee-press/p200534 looks good.

I do like the look of a cafetiere, though, especially on a Sunday Brunch table.

When our Bodum got dropped we replaced it with an IKEA one which goes in the dishwasher. Does three big mugs at a time.

Watching with interest after I managed to scald myself quite badly with our Boden cafetiere. The plunger has been getting increasingly stiff and yesterday while pushing down it slipped spraying boiling water up my arm.

I have one that I bought in M&S years ago. It's makes great coffee and is dead easy to clean.
Thoroughly recommend M&S cafetiere.

luna

has it had a replacement glass?

[higgle]

After due thought and consideration I've ordered one of these Bodum 8 cup columbia it has lots of good reviews,so hopefully I'll be having nice grounds free hot coffee next week.

Not sure if we've ever replaced the glass, PJ. It's so old, I can't remember. I'm now thinking my plungeability problem may have been due to a residue build up on the gauze.

I think they are all the same. We had an expensive Bodum, after Dh accidentally broke it we replaced it with a Tesco one. It is the same as the Bodum at a fraction of the price. With a lot of branded goods it's a case of 'The Emperors New Clothes'. They don't do anything different.

All I'll say is don't buy the sainsburys one. Glass is weak. It broke after a few weeks and we'd hardly used it at all.

We have one of these - lasted years so far. Expensive but worth it.

It's LA Cafetiere for me - have had mine 23 years and only had to replace glass twice. I have the 3, 8 and 12 cup sizes.

I have had THIS ONE for years.
I fell in love with it and DD and her husband bought it for me despite being told by everyone that I would get fed up with it. I haven't got fed up yet and it still makes me smile. Overpriced maybe but makes me joyful.

Love the one you've ordered

I have a Bodum but the usual plastic and glass one also a smaller one which I don't use for coffee. Use it to froth up the milk
