The Bodum Kenya French Press is a modern take on this traditional coffee brewing method by the very company that brought it to the masses. Bodum has been selling coffee plungers since the 1970s and played an instrumental role in their popularisation throughout the world.
The Kenya is true to its origins with its replaceable borosilicate glass beaker that will last for years and can easily be cleaned in the dishwasher or by hand. Its 3 part filter and plunger mechanism is made of durable stainless steel and can also be unscrewed and put into the dishwasher for cleaning.
Where this modern French Press differs from its predecessors is in its stylish black plastic frame which looks good while also serving more practical purposes. It provides some protection for the glass beaker against knocks while also insulating the bottom to prevent scorching of the surface it rests on.
Ours is about 3 feet by 3 feet, and on our left is the account's block. The marketing block is down the hall.
We're joking. Obviously.
Ours is at least 5 by 5, and on Wednesdays we're allowed to write in coffee shops to maintain the illusion that we're "successful" and "writerly".
Coming up with a write up for the simple sake of a write up does, however, become difficult when we're staring complete lack of creativity right in the face. But apparently asking management to cancel all the deals for the day isn't a viable fix.
As they so delicately put it, it'd be like a comedian having the option to suddenly cancel a show if they're not feeling up to it. Not on our watch, they said. You'll do a write up whether you like it or not, they said. And be funny, they said.
So here we are, doing a write up and being funny.
