This is about as good as it gets.

To our mind, the humble French press, or press pot, has always been the simplest and probably the best way to make coffee.

But there has always been this tiny flaw.

While a press pot looks great with its thin glass walls, the coffee does cool down very quickly. So to get the best coffee from your press pot, you had to serve and drink the coffee immediately.

Now Bodum offers a press pot within a thermal flask. You make the coffee in the same way. Remove the lid and add coffee grinds and hot water, then replace the lid, wait for about three minutes and then push down the plunger.

It's perfect. And it's beautiful to look at too. So you can make coffee and then bring the Bodum Columbia straight to the breakfast or dinner table.

The Deal: Pay just $29.99 for the Bodum Columbia 8-Cup Stainless-Steel Thermal Press Pot.
