Bodum Fyrkat 13.4-Inch Portable Charcoal Grill Review

The Bodum Frykat 13.4 Inch Portable Charcoal Grill is a handy little grill for those who don't have the space for a larger grill, or who want a portable grill you can take along just about anywhere. It's small enough to take along and use wherever, but large enough to cook a fair amount at a time. This is more for the family going on a picnic or cooking a couple burgers and hot dogs quickly in the back yard or on the deck, not for hosting a large party. (It is big enough to cook a couple steaks too)
I have the orange model, which my little girl really likes because she likes orange. However, it does come in green, yellow, black, blue and off-white. Personally, I'd probably go with the black model if it was just me, but it is nice that they have the colors for those that want the variety. Most important thing is that it cooks, and that it does.
There is a small tray and grate that fits in the bottom to place your charcoal on top of, and then there is the larger grill that fits on top. The unit is not very deep, so you won't be placing a lot of charcoal in it. Again, this is for cooking small meals, and it works just fine for that. The legs are sturdy enough. I placed mine on the concrete beside our back door and it was fine. The directions to state that the unit is not intended to be used on top of tables.
There is a handle on top of the lid that is rubber covered so it does not get hot when on the grill. I had no issues with taking the cover off to turn our meat or retrieve it when it was done. There are two air vents right under the handle, and you close those by turning the handle. There are also three rubber clips on the side. These are for transporting the unit when not in use. These clips clamp the lid to the rest of the unit and you can then pick up the entire grill by the convenient handle on top and take the grill with you wherever you go. You don't want to do this unless it is cool of course.
If you are looking for a small charcoal grill due to lack of space, or need a smaller spare for taking with you, the Bodum Frykat 13.4 Inch Portable Charcoal Grill is a good little unit that does the trick. It is a bit more expensive than some of the models you can find, but it is nicer in a couple ways than some of the cheaper ones I've seen too. I like cooking with it, my little girl likes the color, and I'm sure it will be a nice, handy, little grill for many lunches, dinners, and picnics.

Bodum Chambord Aluminum Stovetop Espresso Maker Review

The first problem with this item was the overbearing odor of machine oil that filled my nostrils when I opened it for the first time. The instruction book, of course, mentioned the pot should be cleaned thoroughly before the first use, but that presented a problem when the book cautioned that the machine should be cleaned with water only. I was not convinced that water alone could do it. Sure enough, numerous washings later, the aluminum Espresso pot still had the vague if not overpowering odor of machine oil about it.
We decided to give it a shot. I had invited over a couple of Espresso aficionados to help me judge the first batch. I will say that the pot made a quick, full six servings of Espresso, but the pot unfortunately still smelled like machine oil after we finished making the first brew. One of us was brave enough to taste it, and reported that the Espresso was not bad at all. The coffee -- if not the pot -- was free of any oily taste or smell, and the second taster reported that he liked it very much.
I would have given this at least four stars for the price, simplicity and overall result, except that darn oil odor ruined our appetite for what we were hoping was a quick desert beverage. I am hoping that a few uses of this very economical alternative to an expensive Espresso machine will rid the pot of the oily odor.
UPDATE: TWO MONTHS LATER - The pot has lost the odor that was so off-putting when it first came out of the box. The coffee -- I mean, espresso -- is great. I use it for company all the time and everybody loves the brew. Definitely worth the money if you're seeking a bargain-priced espresso maker!

The Bodum Chambord Stovetop Espresso Maker lets coffee lovers prepare and serve shots of their favorite brew at home. This stylish unit brews quality, delicious, authentic espresso in practically no time at all - at a tiny fraction of the price of an expensive espresso machine, 3-cup, 0.35-litre. How do I use it?. Pour water in the bottom container up to the MAX mark. Insert the funnel-shaped metal filter. Add fine ground coffee to the filter. Tighten the upper part (which has a second metal filter and a silicone gasket at the bottom) onto the water container. Place the espresso maker on a heat source making sure that the handle is not directly over heat. When the water boils, the steam will reach a high enough pressure to gradually force its way through the ground coffee, and pass through to the upper chamber. As soon as all of the espresso has reached the upper chamber, you will hear a sputtering sound - the sign that the coffee is ready to serve. Pour the coffee directly from the upper chamber and enjoy a perfect cup of espresso. What kind of ground coffee do I need? Fine: Smoother to the touch, a little finer than granular sugar or table salt. How do I clean this product? Wash the stainless steel espresso maker soon after letting it cool down to minimize staining. Cleaning in the sink will suffice too. Do not put the aluminum espresso makers in the dishwasher as discoloration may occur. Note: Do not screw the espresso maker together while it is still wet. Store the parts separately. Tip: Use a microfiber cloth to wipe the outside dry. This will help to maintain the mirror finish.
