Definitely in my “Top Ten List” of Inspired Kitchen Gadgets!,
Finally, an ice cream scoop that gets the ice cream out of its container AND then out of the scoop into the dish. Sounds like a no-brainer, right? Should be — but this is the first scoop design I’ve ever used that managed both with equal ease. Most of the old-fashioned ones had a release mechanism that got the ice cream into the dish pretty well, but needed tons of hot water and the strength of 10 men and a boy to get the goodie out of its native container. More recent versions have made the container-to-scoop process less of a herculean task, but need the assistance of finger or other appendage to make it the rest of the way to the bowl.
This delightful object has solved both problems. In addition, it’s a God-send for baking cookies. I operate a virtual cookie factory every Christmas and have tried many techniques to speed the dough-to-baking pan transfer. Last year, I saw this scoop and its smaller (2 teaspoon) sibling at a kitchen supply place and purchased both. I was able to bang through all my drop cookies in record time — hurrah!
Whether ice cream or cookie baking is your passion, I can’t think of a better way to spend 10 bucks!
Enjoy!

|You can use this for many things,
I can’t say enough about how handy these are. I love my cookie scoop. This one is very sturdy and can take heavy use. One of the benefits of making a batch of cookies with this is that they all come out the uniform size. Uniform size helps in baking evenly and also they just look better once they start out from the same size and shape. They recommend scooping up ice cream for this, but I like the 2 tablespoon size to use when I put muffin batter into a tin, there is much less clean up!

|Great cookie scoop!,
This is a perfect cookie scoop. I like to make slightly larger cookies, and this scoop gets the cookie dough out perfectly every time. Because the cookies are larger, it is a good idea to flatten each blob of dough slightly before baking. (as I did when I worked in a bakery) I have not used this scoop for anything else, because I only bought it for cookies. It does not look like it would work that great for ice cream, but I don’t know. I love making cookies with it!!!

|Easy to use,
Yes, the material could be better. However, my mom is old and the pointed scooper is the only one my mom can use. So, until others make it that way, I give this 5-stars!

|Tidy Adaptation of the Cowboy Coffee Brew Method,
Let’s face it, dumping coffee grounds into a bucket of hot water is nothing new. The Bodum Press is a refinement of the cowboy coffee brewing method, minus the campfire & straining it thru a sock. In My world, there is no such thing as “too Strong” for coffee. There IS, however, too bitter & too acidy. The press does what perking, dripping and steaming ground coffee cannot do: produce a stout, yet smooth cup of coffee – just like the stuff made around decades of my campfires.
Model Brazil, made in Denmark by a Swiss Company & called a French Press. No wonder the confusion over exactly how many cups this actually makes. The Euro-instructions for the press say 4 oz. per cup, but even my fine Bavarian China cups (from when I lived in Munich) are 6 ounces.
Just look at it this way: It holds 32 ounces of water.
The instructions on your roast coffee container usually say to use 1 TBSP per 6 ounces of water (NOT 4 ounces & NOT 8 ounces). Again, in MY world, 32 ozs. makes about 2 cups of coffee.
I toss in 6 or more scoops of ground coffee, pour in hot water & wait the obligatory 4 minutes. The result is a smooth coffee that you can drink by the quart without that nasty heartburn/reflux side effect.
It’s ideal for work, where the office sissies are afraid of offending anyone with REAL coffee, so they make it weak. I simply step up to the hot water spigot & take the Press to my desk.
Now, you, too, can have coffee the way you like it at work without having to cover up someone’s botched brew with that foo-foo Vanilla, Hazelnut, Irish Cream or other phoney-flavored faux creamers.
Cleanup? Swirl around some soapy water, & dump the grounds down the sink – just be sure to have the water blasting & the garbage disposal running, so as to not plug up the sink trap.
Even if you already have the coffee-brewing apparatus of your dreams, buy the Bodum 32 oz. model. You won’t be disappointed.

|An Inexpensive Treat,
This was my first French press. I have always enjoyed this type of coffee, particular after dinner. However, I was attracted to the plastic framework surrounding the carafe, as I can be clumsy at times.
This press has worked just as well as the more expensive, more traditional looking French press pots. I set the coarsest setting on my Braun grinder, and no grounds get through the screen. It is just perfect. I haven’t ever run my press through the dishwasher, it isn’t necessary with the easy cleaning with this one. I just put hot soapy water in the carafe, up-and-down a few times with the plunger and it’s all ready to use again. I have heeded the warning not to stir with a metal implement; I use a wooden spoon.
I would heartily recommend this model of Bodum for someone who would like to experience French press coffee at home, inexpensively.

|Love it,
I have two Chambord models, and this one. I prefer the features of the Brazil’s keyed lid, and secured plastic frame to the Chambord models. I’ve had this for about 3 years now, use it every day, and it’s held up perfectly. Great press.

Ciao, sono amministratore di un gruppo chiamato SALINE DEL MEDITERRANEO, MEDITERRANEAN SALT PONDS. Ci farebbe piacere aggiungere le tuo foto al gruppo.
bella !
Bellissime queste foto col 20. Mi fai tornare la voglia: ho giusto un Sigma 20 1.8 che da troppo tempo è inutilizzato. Sulla D200 non è un granché, ma con la tri-x sulla F80 potrebbe avere ancora qualcosa da dire.
