The Chambord is the French press most people picture: a borosilicate glass beaker in a chrome-plated steel frame, with a three-part stainless steel mesh plunger. Add coarse grounds and hot water, wait about four minutes, and press. It needs no paper filters or pods, and the 34 oz beaker makes eight 4 oz cups, or about three to four mugs. Every part is dishwasher safe.
