Coffee Brewers There are many types of coffee makers in the market, both manual and electronic,
ranging from as cheap as a few dollars to hundreds of dollars.  Drip machines, manual & electric vacuum
pots, French press, stovetop or moka pots, pour-over filter cone, etc. you name it.  There are pros and cons to
each method and brewer.  There's always a saying that good things should be shared, and that's why we see
a lot of brewers capable of making 6-12 cups of coffee at one go.  But how often do we get a crowd to enjoy
your favorite coffee?  And the logic doesn't go whereby a 12-cup coffee maker can be used to make a single
cup of the same quality.

By the QARR spirit, we believe that coffee appreciation is an experience of an individual to enjoy and savor the
aroma and the subtleties of the specialty coffee in a relax environment.  That is why we have only selected the  
Bodum Columbia to suit the different needs of an individual, yet able to produce the best possible coffee
around.  Unfortunately, most electric drip coffee makers tend to burn the coffee rather than maintaining a
stable temperature throughout the brew.  Hence, being simple is the greatest.

Note that coffee brewer is used to make coffee, not espresso.  Though the much more expensive espresso
machine can also make coffee (or technically speaking, cafe crema), this does not necessarily taste better
than the simple brewer.  And to great extent, the coffee brewer is the best coffee maker for straight single
origin coffee.

Bodum Columbia
Undeniably, this is the French press of all time.  
Even the most critical of French press in me has been
attracted to this "ancient Chinese beauty".  Why an ancient
Chinese beauty?  Because beauties in the ancient China are
plump with silky smooth powdery skin.  Columbia has a
shapely figure, polished in high quality 18/10 stainless steel,
used mainly in high-end kitchen utensils.  Apart from having
good looks, she also possesses the inner virtues of a lifetime
partner, capable of making and keeping your coffee warm in
her double walled thermal body, so that you can savour the
same aromatic brew as long as possible while reading your
morning papers.  To top it off, she will serve you coffee like a
professional without a single drop or spill, thanks to the ultra
slim spout that is spill-proof.

Check out the temperature curve of both Bodum Colombia
and Bodum Pavina to see how well the double walled
thermal body of the Colombia fair.

As functional and neat as it can be, the sediments of a
French press can well be forgotten or easily handled, and
what you get is a distinguished and classic brewer for those
who love coffee made in style.

Specifications:
  • 12oz French press that can make up to 3 cups of
    coffee
  • Double-walled vacuum-insulated thermal stainless
    steel body that keeps coffee warm
  • Spill-proof spout


How to brew with Columbia?
Simple steps:
  1. Grind 10g of coffee beans into the Columbia for
    single serving.
  2. Pour about 4oz of off-boiling water (or around 95
    deg Celsius) into the Columbia
  3. Stir the mixture for about 10s and place the press
    filter back in Columbia but do not press.
  4. Allow the brew to steep for around 4 mins
  5. Press the filter down slowly to separate the coffee
    grounds from the brew.
  6. Serve just enough since the coffee is kept warm in
    the Columbia.

Tips:
  • Since the press is able to hold the temperature for
    much longer time compared to the rest of the
    French presses, you can grind the beans slightly
    coarser and leave the coffee to steep up to 5 mins
    before pressing down.
  • As in most French presses, there are slits on the
    cover of the Colombia that allow serving of the
    coffee.  So, it is better to turn the slits away after a
    serving is made so as to keep the rest of the coffee as
    warm as possible.
