Yes, there is a picture of the French press on the package with instructions. Trial and error, until you get the proportion that suits you. Try it, it's delicious coffee. So smooth!

i don't believ so. I think you need a conventional type of stove stop espresso maker like I use. There is a company called Bialetti. (see link) I use a 2 cup and its perfect. Hope this helps The Original Bialetti Moka Express Made in Italy 6-Cup Stovetop Espresso Maker with Patented Valve

It would depend on the trap mesh your French press uses. This espresso is grounds fine into a powder so if the mesh doesn't have very tiny holes some of the bean will mix with the water portion in the end product. Great idea though. I am a fan of the French press myself. Hope this helped.

The French press works best with a coarsely ground coffee. The Lavazza is ground very fine, for use in an espresso machine. If you use the Lavazza in your French press you will end up with a lot of grounds in the coffee.

I've used Lavazza coffees in a French press, and really liked them. I guess the amount of coffee is down to one's taste, so an experiment here and there will get you to your preferred level. I think I use about three heaped teaspoons for just under half a six cup cafettiere. Good luck m

It is just like any other French press.. use the amount of coffee proportioned to the amount of coffee you want to brew, and brew normally. Half the water, half the coffee, everyhing else remains the same. It will taste identical to what you brew when making a full pot. I do this all the time and that is why I only have and use the 1.5 litre pots. I can make a lot, or a little, as the need dictates.

Just to clarify, you would want to use 50-53 grams for the whole 34 oz french press and not per cup.

The measurements are 5.2 x 5.2 x 8 inches for this BonJour versus 5 x 5 x 8 inches for the Bodum. Accordingly, this one is 0.2 inches larger in diameter. However, I think the actual capacity is an ounce or two less. This could only be because the glass is thicker on this carafe. It will work beautifully if you use a Bodum Chambord 12 cup French Press. I can't speak for any of the other lines of presses that Bodum makes.

I use French roast coffee beans and it is plenty strong. It probably depends on the type of beans and the amount of water you use. It is easy to make it to your taste.

To make REGULAR-STRENGTH COFFEES:2 Tbsp for each 6-ounces of water for LIGHT ROASTED coffees; only use 1 Tbsp per 6-ounces of water for MEDIUM ROAST COFFEES; a bit less for dark/caramelized coffees. Your particular coffee beans/roast may differ slightly in proportions. Yes, you have to double or triple the amount to make a concentrate. It takes LOTS of ground coffee to make a standard hot brew; it takes even more to make a cold concentrate. It also depends on the coarseness/fineness of the grind. I use a drip/percolator grind and it is always great in a press. French Press grind is between drip/percolator grind. Have fun with your yummy brewed/steeped/infused coffees!

This is a replacement piece for a French Press Coffee Maker. Try Bodum Carafe.

I do believe you mean an 8 CUP not 8 ounce (it is a 32 ounce)... and while I do not own a Starbucks French Press, you can measure the dimensions and check them against the dimensions given in the details of the Bodum carafe profile. Wishing you many good cups...

French presses need coarse grinds. My husband likes the largest setting (percolator) I like to use the 2nd largest setting. Try both and see what you prefer more, but anything finer than that probably wouldn't work well.

I have used a few of these replacement Glass Carafes for my Bodum 12-cup French Press. However, my Bodum is made of metal (?Stainless Steel?). The carafe perfectly fits in my metal housing and all the press parts fit perfectly within that carafe. I suppose you need to confirm that your Bodum is the 12-cup, 51 ounce version. I dont know if yours is "the original Bodum French Press", mine is quite old and does not have "black insulating bottom", presumably you mean your framework is black - mine is not, its stainless steel. Hope this helps. Brenda

No, I'm not a good one to ask about a French Press. This is my first experience using a Press of any kind. Sorry I can't help. Kathie

Always go by taste. If a recipe calls for 1 TBS of granules, start with 1-2 tsp of Better than Bouillion, dissolved in hot liquid and go up from there. Again, go by your own taste. After awhile it'll be second nature.

Hi Kent, Thanks for your interest, but I would not advise to use an oversize filter screen for a smaller diameter french press. The strategic folds & impressions in the screen will not be utilized effectively to keep the grounds out completely. I am not familiar with that size french press so cannot make any suggestions. Sorry, best of luck in finding what you need =) Team Idylc Homes

It fits the 8 cup Bodum press but NOT the 8 cup Bon Jour... from my experience of 4 years ago. The stem of the Bon Jour press has a bigger diameter. I wrote Bon Jour about this problem but no response. More people should write Bon Jour about selling their own replacement filters without having to get a new press. Lydia D.

what proportions are you using? I will make some for tomorrow's breakfast and will let you know how it turns out.

In the description it was stated that the Grosche carafe was universl....My french press is by Boudum and it fit perfectly. No complaints.

This is the 12 cup size; it sounds as if you have the 8 cup size which I also have. BouJour Replacements are available for the 8 cup size as well. This is a larger size than you will need I suspect. Try putting 8 cup Bonjour French Press replacement carafe in the Amazon search. I think you will find it. And FYI, the Bonjour carafe is every bit as good or better than the more expensive Bodum.
