What's better for office coffee, one of those airpot coffee makers, or the traditional glass pot?

I'm considering changing the glass pots we currently use in my office to the airpots. I'm told the airpots are cheaper per cup of coffee, and won't produce burnt coffee. However I also hear the traditional glass pots are MUCH easier to clean. Open to all opinions to help me make this decision.

Big office ? It may be more cost effective to go with the airpots.

Smaller office and heavy drinkers- stick with the glass - Cheaper to buy.

Air pots are great because they allow the Brewed Coffee to maintain its flavor /heat for a maximum part of the work day without being on a warmer/burner.

Glass pots cannot maintain the heat unless on the warmer which will cause the coffee to take on that burnt coffee taste. Glass Coffee pots /brewing systems are designed to keep coffee at that Brewed Fresh Taste for 30-45 min Only .

If you have a quick turnover then stay with the glass pot system you already have.

On those occasions when you're entertaining a large group, you want to be able to serve everyone at once, especially at dessert time when coffee is served. To assure everyone a hot cup at the same time, this thermal air pot holds up to three liters, keeping your beverage hot and fresh with its vacuum glass liner. Has an easy pump and pour dispenser and a swivel base. The handle stands upright for carrying and folds down for convenient storage.

This quality thermal pot is one you'll reach for repeatedly during those cold winter nights or hot summer afternoons. For icy cold beverages, pre-rinse with cold water, fill with your favorite beverage, and then drop in a few ice cubes. (Don't do the ice first, as the liner can crack with sudden temperature changes.) For hot coffee or chocolate, just rinse with warm water and then fill up. This large-capacity pot does a terrific job of keeping that morning coffee hot and fresh until lunchtime, but it is fragile enough that kids may need a hands-off policy. The pump-top dispenser prevents you from having to lift a heavy pitcher--just press the lid until you cup is full. Great for small offices and convenient for social occasions--or anywhere you want to have piping hot or frosty cool drinks available with minimal fuss. --Jill Lightner

This easy to transport and serve glass lined vacuum airpot from Bunn holds and keeps 2.5 liters of fresh coffee hot for hours. Dimensions 15 3 4 height and 6 diameter. 13041.0101 From Bunn

Whether it's a business meeting, a book club get-together, or a bridal shower, this is the ideal way to assure your guests a steaming hot cup of coffee (or cold iced tea). The air pump design means just a few presses on the lid will fill individual cups, down to the last few drops in the bottom. People can easily serve themselves from any side, thanks to the swivel base that makes it a breeze to turn the air pot from side to side. A lock on the lid allows you to safely transport the air pot without spills or leaks. --Cynthia Nims

Insert your favorite picture and make it yours! Bodum’s new Picture Press travel coffeemaker/insulated mug allows you to customize it with pictures of yourself, your family, scenic spot, pet and more. There is no need to compromise on quality of coffee when you are out and about. With the Bodum Picture Press, you can take your coffeemaker with you. The travel press was designed so that you can brew your favorite coffee or tea and drink right out of the same tumbler. The double wall construction insulates your beverage and keeps it hotter longer while keeping your hands cool. The spill-resistant lid keeps the heat in when you are not enjoying your hot beverage. The Travel Press is simple to use. Simply add one or two scoops of your favorite coarse ground coffee or the appropriate amount of loose-leaf tea. Fill with hot water and screw the lid in place with the press in the up position. Allow the coffee to brew for 4-minutes (tea should brew 3-5 minutes or to your liking) and then press. Once you have pressed, open the lid and enjoy a balanced & flavorful cup of coffee or tea. To clean it up, just rinse out the grounds and handwash for best results. The travel press is a perfect brewing method if you just need coffee or tea for one, as well as while you are travelling. at work, camping or just out and about. Fits in most car cup holders. There is a template with sample pictures included with each tumbler so that you can design your own look in minutes. The Picture Press is available in both a large 16 oz. size and a mini 8 oz size. This version is the larger 16 oz. capacity.

Keep your loved ones close at hand while you commute, drive cross-country, or simply sit at your desk, thanks to this customizable coffee press/travel tumbler. The bottom of the tumbler unscrews so that you can insert a photo between two plastic sleeves across the sides. Or, insert a colorful postcard, your own graphic design, or your five-year-old's latest crayon masterpiece. The choice is yours, and you can change the scene anytime. An added bonus: The tumbler is actually a coffee (or tea) press. Spoon in some coarsely ground coffee, add hot water, and after four minutes, plunge. Enjoy up to 16 ounces of fresh-brewed coffee to go. Bodum makes the plastic, handle-less tumbler in double-wall construction to better insulate either hot or cold drinks. The lid screws on tightly, eliminating worries about popping off unexpectedly, and a flip-cap over the sip hole also cuts down on spills. After use, wash by hand only (the screw-off bottom precludes dishwasher-use). If you prefer to brew your coffee before leaving home, Bodum also makes a non-press version of the picture-insert tumbler. --Ann Bieri From the Manufacturer Awards and Accolades In 2004 the Bodum Chambord coffee press received the American Culinary Institute's award for best French press coffeemaker. The American Culinary Institute judges food preparation products such as mixers, waffle makers, and electric teakettles. These products are judged on criteria important to consumers such as ease-of-use, safety, and the quality of the food produced. The institute also judges food preparation products used in restaurants and hotels, including institutional mixers, large-volume coffee machines, and food slicers. Instructions for Use 1. Place pot on a dry, flat, nonslip surface. Hold handle firmly, then pull the plunger straight up and out of the pot. 2. For each 1.25-deciliter/4-ounce cup, put 1 rounded tablespoon or 1 Bodum scoop of coarse-ground coffee into the pot. Caution: Use only coarse-ground coffee. Fine grind can clog the filter and create high pressure. Place coffee maker on a heatproof, nonslip surface. 3. Pour hot (not boiling) water into the pot. Leave a minimum of 2.5 centimeters/1 inch of space at the top. Stir the brew with a plastic spoon. Caution: Metal spoons can scratch or chip the glass beaker and cause breakage. 4. Place the plunger unit on top of the pot. Turn lid to close off the pour spout opening. (Does not apply to the Brazil models.) Do not press down. Let the coffee brew for at least 4 minutes. 5. Hold the pot handle firmly, with the spout turned away from you, then using just the weight of your hand, apply slight pressure on top of the knob to lower the plunger straight down into the pot. Lowering the plunger slowly with minimal pressure produces best results. If the filter clogs or it becomes difficult to push down the plunger you should remove the plunger from the pot, stir the brew, and then slowly plunge again. WARNING: Using excessive force can cause scalding liquid to shoot out of the pot. 6. Turn the lid to open the pour spout and then pour coffee. 7. Unscrew the filter assembly and clean the plunger unit after each use. All parts are dishwasher-safe. Safety Instructions Not for stovetop use. Check glass beaker for scratches, cracks, or chips. Do not use a pot that is scratched, chipped, or cracked. Install a replacement beaker before using the pot again. Keep children away while using. Hot water is a hazard to small children! Do not allow children to use this coffeemaker. Scald Hazard Excessive plunging force can cause scalding hot liquid to shoot out of pot. Do not plunge with force. Turn lid to close spout. Use only coarse-ground coffee. Company History In 1944 Peter Bodum, the father of today's owner, Joergen Bodum, started Bodum in Copenhagen. Times were difficult at the end of World War II; there was hardly any trade and people were out of work. Peter Bodum managed to wholesale a very small variety of housewares products by Danish manufacturers. After the war Peter Bodum got an import license for kitchen and tabletop products; he traveled all over Europe and ended up importing kitchen and housewares to Denmark. As in the rest of Europe in those days, a lack of products in Denmark meant a market existed for almost anything to be sold. He specialized in glassware from Eastern Europe. In the '50s Peter Bodum started developing his own products. He collaborated with the Danish architect Kaas Klaeson for a range of coffeemakers. At the time, industrial-design-type kitchen products were very rare. The first Bodum product to hit the market in 1958 was the Santos coffeemaker--based on a vacuum coffee brewing system. It became an instant sensation not only in Denmark but in all of Europe. Bodum still produces the original Santos design to this very day. Bodum grew steadily during the '60s, but sadly, in 1967, at the age of only 57, Peter Bodum passed away. His wife managed the company until 1974, when she offered her 26-year-old son Joergen to join her in the management of the company. Joergen quickly brought on board Carsten Joergensen--then a teacher at the Danish School of Art in Copenhagen--and soon put him in charge of overall design for Bodum, including everything from products to corporate design, exhibitions, shops, buildings, catalogs, and advertising. It turned out to be a very long and fruitful collaboration. The two men began to fulfill Bodum's credo--"good design doesn't have to be expensive"--in lots of different ways. In 1974 the first fruit of Joergen and Carsten's collaboration was introduced: the French coffee press Bistro. It was also the first incorporation of the new Bodum design language--beautiful simplicity and excellent materials for everyday life. Many more variations of coffee presses followed. Since 1974 Bodum has produced over 50 million French presses, taken the leap from "coffee" to "kitchen," and developed and produced a large variety of beautiful household and tabletop designs. In 1979, when he took over the company, Joergen Bodum decided to move to Switzerland in order to be more centrally located in Europe. He chose the Lucerne area, where Bodum's head office has been located since the early '80s. In 1980 Bodum Switzerland and its design unit, Pi-Design, were founded. Then, in 1986, the opening of Bodum's first shop in London marked another milestone in the Bodum history. It was designed not only to be the perfect showcase for the large variety of Bodum products but to embody an even stronger presentation of Bodum as an international brand. Many more shops in many more cities all over the world followed: Paris, Copenhagen, Zurich, Lucerne, Tokyo, New York, Dallas, Okinawa, Auckland, and many more. To this day there are 52 Bodum stores worldwide. With more and more of its own stores in place, Bodum continued broadening its collection of beautifully designed everyday life products--from kitchen to home. Today Bodum offers its customers everything from the latest coffee- and tea-making products to tabletop, kitchen, storage, textiles, bathroom, and home office products. Some stores also have a café where Bodum's own selection of coffees and teas are served. The Bodum Group is, and always has been, a 100 percent family-owned business. Today the company operates in 14 different countries with over 700 employees worldwide. Bodum has holding companies in Denmark and Switzerland as well as 12 sales companies, 3 production companies, and a design company called Bodum Design Group, located in Switzerland.
