Bodum took over a small factory in Normandy in 1982 to extend the making of the Chambord coffee maker. We still make the Chambord with the same painstaking care and knowledge we learned from those proud craftsmen in windy Normandy. The delicious smell and taste of French roasted dark coffee and the ease of brewing have not changed: coffee, water, press, enjoy. New: The Chambord now comes with an unbreakable polycarbonate beaker.
