For decades, Bodum has created elegant and functional coffee makers to the highest standards, turning coffee making - and coffee drinking - into a uniquely pleasurable experience. The Costa Rica coffee maker is no exception to the rule: the famous Bodum brewing process was thoroughly reconsidered, paying particular attention to the tough conditions to which coffee machines are subjected in restaurants. As a result, the Costa Rica coffee maker incorporates a number of new handling and safety features - the fruit of Bodum's unrelenting search for better and safer products. The Costa Rica coffee maker is equipped with an easy-grip, rubber-coated, curved handle, ensuring safe and convenient handling at all times. A solid stainless steel frame protects the glass jug from bumps and knocks while being carried to and from, through revolving doors, and past other hazardous obstacles but does not conceal the appetizing, freshly brewed coffee held inside. Once you have put your medium ground coffee into the flask, add hot water (just off the boil), stir with a plastic or wooden spoon, wait 3 to 4 minutes, press the plunger and enjoy your fresh coffee.
