The key to brewing great coffee is allowing adequate time. French press coffee is ideally served once it has been left to sit for four minutes. After pouring in the hot water, stir the coffee grounds and flip over this classic sand timer. The sand will run out at exactly at the four minute mark, which signals that your coffee is ready for pressing!
What is it about a cloth that gives any load of bread the air of delicacy? Theoretically, even yesterday's bread would look miraculously fresh when presented in a cloth-lined bread basket - not that we would want to imply that anyone would ever think of serving yesterday's bread. The BISTRO bread basket comes with two cotton linings - one in black and one in white. A rubber band fits the cloth to the basket making for a fabulous restaurant presentation of a simple daily pleasure.
The BISTRO Bread Box is a large capacity bread box featuring a crumb-catching lid that doubles as a serving tray and cutting board. Made of sustainable, eco-friendly bamboo and BPA free plastic. Handsome countertop storage unit for your kitchen or pantry. Large enough to accommodate oversized loaves of bread.
Ask any coffee connoisseur and they'll tell you that in order for coffee beans to develop their full flavor profile, they must be ground right before coming in contact with hot water. This is where the bistro electric burr coffee grinder comes in and becomes part of the coffee making ritual. The Bistro is continuously adjustable - twisting the upper bean container determines how finely ground the beans will be. With over 14 settings from coarse to fine, you can deliver the ideal grind for any brewing method. But there's more to it than that. Most coffee grinders use plastic containers to receive the ground coffee but plastic and ground coffee don't go together well. The powder gets statically charged and spills all over the place. The new Bistro comes with a borosilicate glass container to catch the grounds. The glass catcher is inherently static-free, reducing the amount of overall static and "jumping" coffee grounds. This and the tight silicone/nylon lid make for an excellent, no-spill coffee grinder. The borosilicate glass container comes with a silicone band to make it slip-proof, an especially important feature when touched with wet hands. The Bistro is made from borosilicate glass, steel, plastic, rubber and silicone and comes in black, orange, red, green, and white.
First of all, knives are one of the most important tools in a kitchen. For some people they even become an obsession. Understandably so, because after having worked with a state-of-the-art knife there is no going back. Secondly, knives need to be handy - right there on the kitchen counter for easy access and yet safely stored at the same time. The Bistro Knife Block does both beautifully: it keeps your everyday paring, utility, chef’s and bread knives handy and safe. The inside of the Knife Block is made of a myriad of very fine plastic sticks allowing any knife to sit anywhere in the block – tight and secure. The block’s casing is made of plastic. Its silicone feet anchor it firmly.
Now more than ever the BODUM® French press system is THE way of brewing coffee. It's pure and simple, which is exactly the reason why coffee tasters use this method to determine the quality of coffee beans. The materials of the French press (glass and stainless steel) are completely taste-free so nothing comes between your ground coffee beans and the hot water. The French press literally generates no waste at all: no metal or plastic capsules, no paper, no nothing. You only boil as much water as you need and there you go. We all know plastic water bottles are an environmental problem, but have you thought about all those metal or plastic capsules left by other coffee machines? They generate more waste than espresso. With the BODUM® French press it's just glass, water and coffee brewing doesn't get any purer.
There’s something homey about having oil and vinegar dispensers on the kitchen or dining room table at all times. And then there’s something messy about actually using them at the table. Most dispensers don’t cut off the flow of the oil completely after pouring, causing the oil to spill when the dispenser is returned upright - and any table, especially a wooden one, takes a beating. The BISTRO Oil and Vinegar Dispensers come with a pointy plastic beak which cuts the flow of oil and vinegar very precisely – hence, no messy tables. A little silicone ball in the lid closes the dispenser when it’s standing upright, and then moves up to open the lid when the bottle is tilted, allowing for easy pouring. The dispensers are made from plastic, silicone and borosilicate glass.
BODUM®’s BISTRO collection is fashioned from crisp white porcelain banded with colorful silicone grips that work well while looking great. Hands stay comfortable on the non-slip grip and it wraps below the bottom of the cup, eliminating the need for coasters. A go-to piece for everything from café lattes to iced tea, the BISTRO features a tapered body, footless base, and a smooth lip. Vivid colors and narrow ribbing add color to the table and look great both as a collection of one color or mixed and matched together. The cups are dishwasher safe.
