Product Information
Full details
The Bodum Columbia Double Wall Coffee Maker is an ideal choice for coffee enthusiasts, small office workers, and individuals who appreciate a refined, personal brewing ritual. It delivers the superior, full-bodied flavor profile of a classic French press while offering advanced thermal insulation to keep coffee hot for up to two hours. A notable caveat is its smaller 350ml capacity, which limits production to about three cups, making it better suited for intimate settings rather than large group hosting.

Troubleshooting
Plunger is difficult to push down
Ensure you are using coarse ground coffee; if the grounds are too fine, they can clog the filter and create excess resistance.
Sediment in the coffee
Check that the filter screen is screwed on tightly and that no grounds are escaping around the edges of the plunger.
Coffee cools too quickly
Ensure the lid is properly seated after pouring the hot water to trap the heat inside the double-wall chamber.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
- Always rinse the plunger and mesh filter thoroughly after each use to prevent old coffee oils from affecting the taste of your next brew.
- While the maker is dishwasher safe, hand washing with mild soap is also effective and can help maintain the exterior finish longer.
- Avoid using harsh abrasive scouring pads on the stainless steel surface to prevent scratching.
- Regularly inspect the mesh filter to ensure it is tightly secured to the plunger rod to maintain optimal filtration efficiency.
