Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I saw this BonJour model at a national discount retail chain this weekend and decided to put it to the test against my Bodum. The price was only $19.99 which is half of what I paid for my Bodum. They looked identical when placed next to eachother. So, what's the difference?
In my opinion, the price is the only difference. The BonJour model is exactly the same size. The construction is near identical. I could swap them back and forth with guests and they couldn't tell the visual difference. The next test was taste of course.
Each model is a 12 cup, but for coffee 1 cup is actually 4 ounces. I don't know why this is, and neither do any of my local baristas. Might be a french thing, but no big whoop. So a 12 cup is really 48oz. The measurements were 1T per cup(4oz) of water. I splash a pinch of cinnamon in with my jamaican blue mountain beans for an added kick.
Both presses where made of glass. Both were chromed out. The second filter on the BonJour is more porous. Each required 4 minutes to brew. Each was delicately hot if touching the surface of the glass.
In the tastes test it was a dead heat. My guests thought both cups of coffee, with and without cream, were delicious. Taste would have improved with the use of filtered water, but the boiling does a lot for the water as is.
The great thing about presses is the cleanup. It's not complicated. It doesn't take any more time than an automatic drip machine.
With the BonJour you are getting a great cup of coffee at half the price of the Bodum. Give the BonJour a whirl.
