This Bodum Chambord Coffee Maker is a true original. It is the same design as was first intorduced back in the 1950s. The steel frame and lid both undergo several chrome plating processes in order to obtain a super shiny surface that is also durable and will last for years. The black polypropylene handle comes in a matte finish that not only ensures a comfortable grip while pouring but also adds to the classic design. The beaker is made from borosilicate glass which is tough and will never cloud, even after years of use and being put in the dishwasher. Enjoy a perfect cup of coffee every time!
