This is a very classy combination.

The French press is one of the simplest and most elegant ways to make a perfect cup of coffee.

And the two individually-blown Pavina glasses complement the Bodum press perfectly. Each 12-ounce glass is double walled, so the coffee stays hot longer, while the outer wall stays cool and comfortable to hold.

While there is something very classy about this coffee set, it should also appeal to the more frugal coffee lovers among us.

At a time when we may be watching our pennies, the French press provides us with the means to make excellent coffee at a very reasonable price.

That's the beauty of making gourmet coffee. Good coffee beans and a French press will make you as good a cup of coffee as a high-tech coffee brewer that sells for a hundred dollars or more.

High-end brewers offer more convenience and a few attractive bells and whistles. But they don't make a better cup of coffee.

If you like that classy, all-glass look, get yourself this French press + thermal glasses combo.

The Deal: Buy the Bodum Chambord 8-Cup French Press & 2 Pavina Thermal Glasses at Amazon for $39.95.
